Alpha's particle effect workshop

So I made this thread so that my other thread don't gets messy with all kind of different subjects. This is my master WIP thread where you all can bring in ideas for particle effects or give tips or criticize my work. So make sure to set this thread to watch .

I've created a dox lasery effect and a slammer effect.

The dox effect.


The slammer effect.


What your opinion about them? I noticed that @MrTBSC and @Planktum had some ideas or input?

Thanks!

I think you mixed up the videos.
Is it btw possible to make reclaiming have an effect that shows the unit actually is not just building?

I think thats actually possible to be honest. Probably need to add an offset and change the speed to reverse. The only problem with that is that the effect is still binded to the muzzle bone of the commander which makes the effect look off temporarely when the commander turns its torso, on the other hand same thing happens when you build something already.

Good idea I'll let you know when I got something or when it completely fails.

ALPHA YOU"RE AMAZING!!!!

You're the king of effects mods!

I like the slammer effect, but I would rather the dox shoot little glowing plasma balls, not lasers. I also wish the dox shot left then right, rather than left/right simultaneously.

I just can't understand why Uber hasn't spent any time improving the vanilla effects? Were they always expecting the modding community to do this work for them?

OMFrG AWESOME!!!!!!!


one more idea i had was regarding the leveler kind of changing it into a kind of gausscannon adding magnetic rings to its flightpath similar to the gaussrifle effects from the mechwarrior games

i wouldn't change the bolo projectile but something that looked badass in alpha was its muzzle effect that hat more smoke to it ...

one thing i would like to ask @killerkiwijuice if he could add a default color for aircrafttrails that is not team colored


i like to thank you guys for your work and the time you put into it i think you do a lot of guys of the comunity a favor

@Alpha2546 just want to thank you for keeping these mods separate (i.e. don't add this to the Grenadier effects mod). I like the option to choose which effects I add. It's one reason I don't use your PA-FX mod.

@Alpha2546 when can we expect this on PAMM?

let´s please not fall to rediculous assumtions

why not? It's fun! Uber make themselves an easy target.

remember when neutrino used to be around the forums?
because of BS like this he isn´t anymore ... no matter how much you consider it a mere joke or whatever
but hey let´s give them more reason to not talk to us anymore ... and yea i AM tired of it aswell

Lighten up
You really think what we say on these forums has any affect on whether the devs talk to us? Do politicians stop talking because people give them ****? There's hardly any people on these forums now anyway. The fact that I'm even on the forum shows that I love the game warts and all, and it's got a lot of warts too. LOL

.... ... YES !!! ... call me insane ... and i don´t give a scrap bout politicians ... devs are not politicians but like them they are people who take being rediculed different from person to person and it has already affected people on the forum ...


and before this gets of rails better PM me ...

I give props and criticism where due. Uber and PA deserve both.

I've fiddled with creating plasma balls but it looks kinda wonky. Do you have any colour for those in mind? Maybe it would look proper then.

So how about giving the t1 tanks the effect of the t2 ( I think awesome projectiles does the same which looks good). And give the levelers that gausseffect.

Maybe try green and/or yellow for the plasma balls? Can I see what you've tried already, then that might give me a better idea of what we are working with.

sounds good

rediculing is not criticizing ... i can give critic without throwing in useless statements ala "what where they thinkin", "smokin", "expecting" ... that´s just bla bla not helping anybody and it surely doesn´t help you getting your point across any better ...

now back to topic ...


edit: damnit sry for double ...

just poking in ... anything new on the effects side?

I'll definately try this out somewhere in the future. If so I'll make sure to tag you in the post.

Not much at the moment. I've been more busy making a nice arsenal of playable maps whenever I want to play a good balanced game. I most of the time work on my effects when I get a cool idea of how to work out some sort of effect. Haven't really gotten those lately.
