Aardwolf, you must be one sheltered boy. POD is not what one would call rap, it's rock with a little bit of a ghetto influence at best.

Dilmah G · **Reply #21 on:** October 06, 2009, 12:07:12 am

Mmm, this particular song kinda has a "Limp Bizkit"-ish feel to it.

chief1983 · **Reply #22 on:** October 06, 2009, 01:34:18 am

POD in general has a similar sound, but theirs is more rock while Limp Bizkit is a bit more metal. POD doesn't have quite the messed up lyrics that Limp Bizkit has.

Oh jeez, don't get me started.

LB CANNOT WRITE LYRICS. Though, the lead singer can scream quite charismatically into a microphone.

Putting together a new effect package featuring:
Wanderer's flashy explosions - with added tweak and more entries by myself
3 new explosion graphics by Nighteyes
Trails tabled by me, using graphics found in the media vps

possibly more as its worked on.

Video currently only shows vasudan and terran ships (all missions are main campaign) as shivans still need more entries done, and the overall package will require much tweakage. I'll make this into a vp within the week.

looks rather nice, however, it really needs more tweaking, as the explosions tend to bunch up together and make a nice white screen

also, my advice is to avoid 3D shockwaves like the plague itself.

Krackers87 · **Reply #25 on:** October 06, 2009, 01:23:08 pm

3d shockwaves are not a part of the mod, thats there due to media vp's even though i like them myself. Perhaps shockwave upgrades/alternatives will be looked into in the future.

The E · **Reply #26 on:** October 06, 2009, 01:34:00 pm

You can disable them, you know. Just don't mark the 3d-shockwave option in the Launcher's graphics section....

my critique follows similar lines to the OTT comments

basically i agree that often explosions away from the hull are generated to fast for plausibility.

Having said that you are going for the Hollywood every car that goes over a cliff make a bang big enough to takes out 2 square miles of woodland philosophy so can I suggest a feature that allows the player to set the following two behaviors

1 - intensity of explosions ranging from FSO standard to omg you just nuked my video card with the number of booms

2 - set the rate explosions expand from the centre again from FSO standard to filling the screen at 6k

I think it's ugly. Also, I hate rap music, so that didn't help.
lol, swing and a miss, and you probably wont want to download it once its done then

Damn straight.

redsniper · **Reply #29 on:** October 06, 2009, 03:20:05 pm

I like the flashy explosions, but I think the flak explosions are too "slow" like the animation just lasts too long or something.

I have considered user-end ability to configure explosions, unfortunately that requires coding im not capable of, the best i can do, is offer several patches that are optional downloads giving a selection of presets.

Easy to alter to your liking. Just increase the FPS in the .eff file of the explosion.

Released the alpha version of what ive assembled so far so people can fool around with it while i work on the shivan ships explosion tables (very time consuming)

Dilmah G · **Reply #33 on:** October 08, 2009, 06:26:23 am

I'm getting a corrupted download on it, then again, I haven't tried a redownload, and my internet's been shaped.

Try again, i just downloaded and extracted all the files with success, so the uploaded copy should be good.

Multiple versions / seperated vps for varying tastes of destruction (or possible front end dial/slider based system)

This sounds useful! It will surely help in getting feedback from larger audiences, when content that should go to official MVPs is discussed.

Nemesis6 · **Reply #36 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:04:14 pm

Any way you could add or direct me to a fix for the particles? Just now I have found out that the fire and smoke effects from fighters, etc, in the MediaVPS aren't really too my liking - Way too bright.

Cobra · **Reply #37 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:44:08 pm

haw, I watched an Aeolus go up and my FPS counter dropped by 45.

Spontaneous explosions and then a bigger explosion = awesomeness.
