as some have asked, here is my shockwave colored orange/yellow
I've also added a new particlesmoke01(an edited version to the one I made for mediavps), I basically made it more transparent so it won't be so bright, I'd like some feedback on it please

I'm 95% confident that these increase awesomeness by an order of magnitude.

It looks great, can you make a 3D version of it?

I don't think that shockwave is intended to look 3D, it looks more like a 2D "bubble" shaped shockwave extending from the ship.
Who uses forum signatures anymore?

Yes, but I prefer 3D shockvaws for ships and 2D ones for weapons.
3D version of blue one looks nice.

A noob question  :nervous:

I put it in my mediavs_3612\effects directory, and it don't see these shockwaves in game (tested with belisarius)

Must I do something special ?
Never far away from HLP and from a computer with an installed FreeSpace.

you need to make a shockwave.eff file telling the game to use the effect as TGA, or compress them to DDS and use them normally that way...
can I have some feedback on the fire trails as well please? :)

Here's one of the Sai dying. It's really cool when these shockwaves are popping off one after another.

Did you hear that fellas? She says I have a Meritorious Unit.

[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha

Open notepad, or text editor

put this text:

Code: [Select]
$Type: TGA
$Frames: 95
$FPS: 40

FPS is the velocity of frames, per second, you can adjust if you like.

And save with this name:

shockwave01.eff

extension need is .eff

add it manual, if that is necessary

and put the file with the shockwave (in same folder)

done!  :nod:
