Custom Explosion Sampler Pack.

I wouldn't mind having a pack with all sorts of different explosion types and maybe a list to explain how to make a certain explosion type.

Example:

-Explosion with shockwave
-Dirt explosion without a visual explosion (like the bulldog of the test build)

As I feared, such complex pieces of code only confuse me, not even the wiki entry REALLY explains how to make a certain explosion.

This would help alot with getting ppl to understand the new explosion-blast system.

My thoughts exactly, it's a bit confusing right now.

Look at that thread started by Optimus. Read the example code we've provided. Once you've learned some basic concepts, this really isn't hard to use.

Still, can we get a sampler pack or a wiki writeup with samples? Linking everyone who ever asks back to optimus' thread is a pretty bad option. Optimally I'd love to see a wiki section with code blocks and small screenshot so people can see sortof how something will look and then try it out themselfs in game.

I think it's premature to start making formal documenation. Next version of Spring will be a lot more complete, based on what JC's aiming for- what we currently have is missing a lot've the controls we're going to need for future efforts. I guess I could make a simple "mod" that would allow people to test particle FX, though. I'm just about done converting NanoBlobs to the new explosion FX, and I've gotten done doing some important documentation chores (including more handy sample code things in NanoBlobs for people to read through) so I could probably build an explosion tester mod...

after a more complete format is done I will gladly do a wiki.

Fair enough. I didn't know it was so unfinished still at this point.

Yes, it still has a ways to go before becoming fully useful. However, it will continue to progress, we have no doubt.

Its exactly what I need to port to Spring a TA gas weapon I made.

Well even though I figured it out by my self it would still be useful :)

for noobs and stuff.
