Nice super Liche you got there. My super hawk could still toast it

Well, while I think it is superb, SJ thinks it's simply to much for y'all to handle. To many particles.

But... isn't that the point? We have particles... why can't we use them!?

The "fire" on the nuke-type rockets is about 20 layers of color plastered over one another, mine is just one particle object which "lives" for about 5 ticks or so, actually 5 times a multiple of a small ratio of the radius of the missile.

And the system is only creating the particles when the camera is on it.

What this does is take the processing off the CPU and places the work on your graphics card.

All you people who are waiting for some reason to upgrade ... I suggest you do so

I think I'll concede this time and make a modified version of the starburst projectile's method of doing fire and smoke

I don't want to kill anyone's computer

Why not have a little checkbox in the settings.exe that defines a user's wish to have to FIRE DOOM TRAAILS.

Actually, SJ and I thought the best solution was to add support for a tag for the weapon itself.

trailtype=0/1/2;

0 = smoke trail, 1 = "starburst"-like trail, 2 = super DOOM fire trail :-D

I think nukes in xta and ota should have that fire trail only aswell, makes it look more cool if you see it less commen.

Couldn't the spring config control the number of particles shown?

What's the spacecraft in your last picture buggi? It looks very good and I don't remember ever seen it in TA.

Great that the Sys are including it!

Another issue is he propeller=1; tag, which makes any non-base part of the weapon model spin.
