Radeon 9800 pro (@xt stats) having blue explosions here. Also on my laptop with ATI 200m chipset.

When i add ground flashes to a explosion, the "default" effects like smoke and stuff don't show up anymore..

yes, it's custom or it's not. You either have to make the complete explosion yourself, or use the original explosions.

Sorry if this is already covered, but could there be example weapons posted in the wiki or somewhere which can replicate current explosions? That way we can just tweak them to our needs.

This is really incredible stuff! Am very eagerly awaiting the next revision for further testing... and have plans to make some vids with NanoBlobs using this code

Hmm... i've managed to make a rudimentary mushroom cloud, but still blue explosions, anything on the cause of this yet?

Saying this and not posting screens puts you in the running for this year's "Most likely to be shot by a crazed fanboy on his/her way home" award.

Seriously. Lets see that @_@

Is anyone else getting black ground with this?

can osmeone take a picture of this in red?

In sequence:

There you go...

IMO, the fire needs to change into smoke after a bit. Fire then nothing looks odd.

FireCrack · Post by **FireCrack** » 11 Jun 2006, 10:35

Awesome, does still need some tweaking though, column smoke should prehaps be larger...

The ship featured in that screenshot is a 40X40 footprint.

Issues, the ground shockwave will happen even when the target is no on the ground...

IE... on the ground when hitting an aircraft. On the ocean floor for ships.

Also beam lasers don't have explosions. (IE SNIPER in my mod) but regular laser work fine.

For some reason I can't get this to work on my computer atm, so I'll just ask: is it possible to define custom objects (3DOs or S3Os) as being explosion particles? If not, can it be done? Needless to say it'd add a lot of functionality.

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 11 Jun 2006, 16:02

nope, can't be done with the current version and I have no iddea about future plans

Post by **jcnossen** » 11 Jun 2006, 22:46

I want to clean up the model code first before attempting that

Caydr · Post by **Caydr** » 11 Jun 2006, 23:02

Fair enough.

That mushroom cloud is HAWT! Needs a fatter, denser pillar tho.
