Spring RTS Engine

I've almost finished revamping the weapons effects for Arm. Core will be up next. Before I continue working though, I want to show a preview so that 1. you know we're still alive and 2. I can know if I'm going in the right direction or not. The basic idea here is to make things shinier, and more visible during battles. This first preview is rough since the weapons haven't been finely tuned yet, so any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Get video from UF [69 megs, XviD]

It certainly looks very nice.

Why is the huge explosions in space when the larger ships are blown up floating upward? it is space, it should be floating in all directions...

Sorry, I'm using stock explosions from FunTA/Gundam right now. Twill be fixed someday...[if possible anyways, but since we're not actually working in true space, but rather units flying over fake water, it might not even be feasible?]...

Cool! It certainly looks like space battle scenes from million-dollar films.

Next step: muzzle flares for bolt-type weapons.

Fusk yes!

Core is going to get MC2 and MechWarrior styled pulse lasers, depending on the type of ship. And for those bigger lasers, something special...

COOOL! I am glad you blokes did the effects on it! I will watch the video!

Need more colors on the lasers. otherwise neat stuff. I liked what you did with the defense platforms a lot!

if you need help pm me with your questions..

Sweet.

I can't thank you enough for those gundam explosions...but thank you anyways.

Pretty cool! :D

The reddish/orange explosions dissapear a little too fast tho, it'd look more epic if they lasted a little longer.
