Which beam looks better?  I like the white ones.

  Blue  


Actually I think white is better

Though choice  

They're both great  

But I like the green one better, 'cause I like them colourful  

How in the hell do you make those beams look so smooth??

i go into painshop pro and make and use about 7 different colors on a 16x16 canvas (13 lines, one in middle) make each line 1 pixel wide and draw it across like a beam.  Once your done shrink it to 32x32 and it should end up with about 150 colors.  Then save it as a 256 color pcx. Make sure color depth is 16 million before resizing.

I definately like the white beams...

but can you make them ... more white? You know like brighter... like a blinding white light (like a 'hand of god' type of beam  ).

Naw... not that. I guess it's the game. The beam and the bright white center of the explosion is only #F7FCF8. I guess that's as 'white' as the game gets... or the screen shot, probably looks brighter in-game huh?

[phreak]

yea its hella bright ingame.

edit: oh yea and that big explosion is the after effects of the ODG (beam is small because its at the end of its life)

I go for the white one. Though it would be nice if it kinda had some 'texture'...

Me? Here's what my brain tells me!

65% White
35% Green
