Needs moar quake.

Otherwise, awesome. 

[Nuke]

it looks better when fraps isnt screwing with the framerate, and theres not 20 of them going off at once

[Titan]

dang that's cool. it look's like you're in a turret or something, what's going on?

[Nuke]

thats the phoenix, and i was using of glide and the track ir. seriously is there any other way to play this game

[Mobius]

Did you use glide/momentum?

[haloboy100]

[Mobius]

Ah...

I thought the weapons made that effect.

[Nuke]

no i think you're confusing it with the track ir weapons aiming script i showed not to long ago. the only script im running is the rail trail script (its on the scripting board if you want to use it in a mod or just want to know how it works).

[Mobius]

My mistake, I thought the recoils/shockwaves were strong enough to cause a glide effect ()

[Nuke]

i think i over did it with the shockwaves i should make those a tad smaller. i probably should go update all my rail gun effects, since i just used other bitmaps that were already in nukemod. the blob texture was i used was just an airbrush spot with some gaussian blur added. and the weapon was just my old railgun with some more damage added. its perhaps a tad too powerful (and accurate) against subsystems. i might make 4 classes of railguns 3 for caps and one for fighters and use the cap versions to replace the blob turrets.

Is that the HyPAcS? (or however you capitalize it)

[Topgun]

they don't look like railguns to me. they look more like missiles.

[Nuke]

Is that the HyPAcS? (or however you capitalize it)

yea i just gave it a trail. it was faster than making a new weapon from scratch. the HyPAcS isn't technically a rail gun, its more of an antimatter delivery system. Generally an anti turret weapon. i like the effect so it can keep the trail. might do a traditional rail/coil gun with the same trail effect, but for a general purpose role.

they don't look like railguns to me. they look more like missiles.

a technical limitation. cant just spawn the whole trail in one pass without a major slowdown. so the trail is created in sections, one per frame. faster guns require more particles which is a slowdown. if the gun is slowed down a bit it reduces a factor in the performance equation. its still somewhat slow, so i proibly need to use cycle and not swarm fire the things.

[JGZinv]

Nuke you've made exactly the particle swirl around the beam that FringeSpace
has been trying to put together for a long time now!

Any way you can PM me or RK the details on the swirl?

Please?

^magic word 

[Admiral_Stones]

Real railgun or kind of anti-matter delievery system, I think you should remove the screw effect.

[chief1983]

The corkscrew reminds me of the effect from Unreal Tournament and other FPS railguns.

[Wanderer]

Though the effect itself is nice the only things that has always come to my mind from those spiraling effects are 'Melf's Acid Arrow' or 'Magic Missile'...

Certainly not 'railguns' or some such thingyes..

I'd be happy getting my hands on those Valhalla class cruisers....mmmm
