I'm sorry, I didn't have a chance to check my aunt's computer. I'll probably do it tomorrow.

A red/orange 2D shockwave is the most appropriate one, IMO. 2D means that it won't slow down the game and give the impression of a spheric shockwave(which is also realistic) while the color fits well.

It is also good to note again that if we wanted realism, we should make beams invisible.

And make everything silent.

I just presume that sounds in-game are generated by some kind of on-board system designed for increasing pilot's situational awareness. And beams can be generated on HUD (for survivability purposes)

[Mobius]

You can also hear explosions from communication channels.

I always got the idea that beam weapons were not Laser-type weapons, but relativistic plasma beams, which are visible. Especially as a fighter gets a kick from them, which it wouldn't get from a pure energy beam.

But we still have "lasers" traveling at 100mph, which pisses in the shoe of the laws of physics.

Just **** the realism. FS is fun, let's not ruin it.

[Romanmolf]

... and shockwaves, realistically, would not be big glowy expanding things and would probably expand a lot faster than they do in the game.

Yep.

As for the color of the shockwave... probably going from white to blue to yellow to red to black as it cooled down.

This looks cool but...

A red/orange 2D shockwave is the most appropriate one, IMO. 2D means that it won't slow down the game and give the impression of a spheric shockwave(which is also realistic) while the color fits well.

Red/orange's better. However I always prefeared the 3D stuff rather than the 2D.

EDIT: Take a look at this:



Look how the shockwave passes right next to you. I think that the 3D shockwaves offer a better experience.

EDIT: As for the blasts, I think they should be a bit faster. Also, you could consider the R1, WCS and TBP blasts.

I'm sorry, I didn't have a chance to check my aunt's computer. I'll probably do it tomorrow.

Did you find anything?

[Droid803]

Find anything, Mobius?

[tinfoil]

Hope Mobius has em'

they're nowhere on the interwebz

[Romanmolf]

We've ALREADY checked that out.

INSTANT EDIT: Can't wait dammit.

ANOTHER EDIT: MOBIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU?

I PMed Mobius. Let's hope he has them.

[Mobius]

Uhm, I'll check them tomorrow as soon as I get back from the Uni. I visited my aunt today and completely forgot about the old mediavps...

Stay tuned!

[Romanmolf]

How long will this take...

[Mobius]

Ok guys, I have them here.

What do you want?

[Romanmolf]

THE SHOCKWAVE! please

EDIT: That one:

[Mobius]

For instance can you tell me the names? Both of the files and the MVP they're stored in. 

[Romanmolf]

''f_shockwave-''
''shockwave-''
''mv_shockwave-''

In mv_effects and mv_adveffects propably

[Mobius]

There's a shockwave01.eff and shockwave01_0000.dds through shockwave01_0091.dds. No sign of other files.

I don't have the mv_adveffects MVP now. It doesn't mean I've never had it, I should simply check better the next time.

[Romanmolf]

Just post what you found. There may be nothing more in 3.6.6

[Mobius]

The ones I have are from 3.6.7.

[attachment deleted by necromancer]

[Romanmolf]

The only thing I saw in the shockwaves was black boxes. What the... you only gave me ''shockwave01.eff'' and ''shockwave01_0000'' through ''shockwave01_0002''! Please give me ALL of the 3.6.7 MVPs and I'll find a way 

[Mobius]

Oi...but they're 92...and I can't select them all via VP View...that'll take a lot!
