This is really off-topic, but it would be really nice if someone would/could compile a listing of incomplete mods and TCs for the Wiki. I searched for Imperial Alliance therein and found nothing whatsoever... This might be a good request to bring up in the Wiki Project board.

Anyhoo, don't mind me...  :nervous:

Imperial Alliance is a separate branch of the FreeSpace 2 engine which was never part of the SCP. It was a Star Wars game using the FS2 engine.

In theory, the SCP plans to merge it into FS2_Open eventually.

I really like the green flak effect from something my old notes tell me was called "Boomers Flak Pack", for the Shivans... add some EMP, and you're set :) .

Once I get my old backups sorted and achtung gets FSMods to have working uploads again, I could upload that pack as I think it's quite useful.   (no need for achtung to hurry, it's pretty likely that I'll need more time than he... :nervous: )

The contents of the pack were a red, a green and a blue flak effect.


I dunno if that "Boomer" is still active, but I certainly have to thank him for improving my FS experience a good deal :cool: :yes: .


And as for why I took the green version instead of the red one:
1) In FS1 cutscenes, Lucy isn't all red.
2) Wasn't there some green in the original maps for the FS1 Shivan fighters??
3) A bit more colour diversity looks a good deal cooler :) .   (though rainbow-effects would certainly be overdoing it)
4) I like it that that way the flak is discernible from all those Shivan laser blobs flying around.


P.S.: Sorry for necromancing :shaking: . I hope that info was at least partially worth it :nervous: .

Alright, I'd like to revisit this topic because getting a shivan flak effect for next mediavps would be great.

Having just read the topic.

A new effect for them out be great, however, arriving at a conclusion seems difficult at this moment.

The effects contains in this thread all have great potential, I like the energy concept. But they do look a little pixie-y... so turning down the colour to one or two at most, shrinking the size and setting off groups of them as if it was firing, instead of looking at one blown up version. Could be more beneficial.

Maybe Nighteyes could try making such an effect.
Also, I was thinking about something like a Cordi Flak from WoD, just recolored.
