The video below shows you some effects and explosions made BY ME ONLY. thanks to Steeveeo for the two textures, wispsmokeadd_tj.tga and cloudsmokeadd_tj.tga and for finishing the edging on my puddle effect, and initiating the chemical explosion.
the rest is mine =] sorry theres no sound, i have no sound drivers atm...
because youtube gives the video absolutely no justice, ive uploaded it to mediafire as well. fraps killed quality a little, but youll get the general idea

ummmm Lovely effects... very good,
Also the nuke looks a little...strange with the spheres. might want to have some kind of texture..... but very well done.
I love the chemical reactor. hehe..

Now add the seismic effect to them.
seismic? you mean the kick velocities and thing? or can you use the same effect as thumper?
I like the burning pieces that come flying out, I think it makes it more realistic. I was planning on adding something like that to some of my explosions, well done on those.

if you can find a way to make the smoke trails not start right away that would be good. ATM you can see them all spider like legs from the center point. Maybe a different type of trail for that short bit and then cick in the normal trail.
pretty good.
Hey for the chemical one, does the green stuff hurt?
Want it to? :wink:
yeh it does :D good ey =]!
You forgot to mention in the video that I made the chem reactor explosion.
Nice explosions though, and yes, the nuclear reactor does look kinda weird.
Thats neat! Does the shrapnel hurt you if you get hit by it?
Yup, like Thumper.

You're in the credits but it's not very specific.

Says Sprites & Textures.
EDIT: BTW, I saw some pretty bad sprite edging on the Comet Cruise takeoff.
you started the chemical explosion, but i finished it with all the other fancy bits. mostly you managed to fill it in so it didnt look so 'hollow'
yeh the nuke reactor is a bit wierd. but its funkeh!

Yea I saw that as well.

edgeing? which part? if you mean the two white trails, they have no texture assigned
votes to change the nuke explosion? (the nuke reactor is going to have its name changed too 'nuke' seems a bit powerful)
What I mean is when the cruise missile is first fired, the smoke looks like a rectangle with straight edges on it. Hope that helps. Look at the 18 second mark on the Youtube vid, you should see what I mean.

i think the edgeing is too do with me using the wrong texture blend mode... i noticed it too just didit think anything of it
edging fixed. (or rather got lazy and swapped texture :)
steeveeo, youre credited now. sorry about that. ill take more care next time
Yay! ^_^
looks good

Yay! ^_^
"Thank you, TheJamsh, I really appreciate it!"
SWEET explosions. The nuclear power explosion looks a little too StarWarsy to be an atomic explosion, though :P
yeh i thought so too heh, ive really gone off it now...
all the stock ISDF weapons and new AAN weapons have now had the saem effects tuneup :) expect a weapon testing video on ootoob when i get around to it
Maybe if you asked Steeveeo really, really nicely, he could make something like his nuclear bomb for SRV (Don't forget credit, though. LOTS of credit).
lol, yes, the credit....or else I may steal yours! :evil:
Although I must say, I think the nuclear gen should be a ton bigger if it makes a really big blast. Otherwise it just doesnt fit.
Yeh well see heres the thing, theres another building called the power station (with integrated destroyable cooling system) that provides all the power you will really need. this is basically to stop you having thousands of power generators for fitting the much larger bases and power-eating buildings in there.
Although that one will have a kinda EMP'ish explosion probably didnt get that far yet though. plenty of others to do first.
oh and, the nuke and chemical gens are self-damaging. chemical is because the cehmical used is highly corrosive and the nuclear generator because well i felt like it really lol. (that of course would be anoyying if service trucks were spilling about constantly so ive included a maintenance tower idea for those of you who are worried about that annoyance). keeps you on youre toes a bit.
and the aim of the mod is realism. hence why ive gone overboard on the explosions and effects...
realism ≠ overboard
realism = happy juice :-D

good boy jamy
Nice particles - much frame hit?
the particles have a bit of a whack if youre caught right in the middle of it, but ive also engineered the sounds a little to make it seem more like 'shell shock' that frame rate drop.
Lets face it, good realistic explosions have a lot going on when you break them down and look at them in frames. i couldnt realy pull this off without getting a bit of drop.
if i were RIGHT in the centre, i get a drop of around 15-25 on a 2.0 ghz dual core system. which isnt too bad methinks. when the mod hits beta status, ill see what experiences others have. unfortunately i dotn have a mediocre system lying around to try it on.
hey slaor, you fancy expanding the Hadean and (particularly) Cerberi race for me a bit :D?
