Re: Effects showroom!

I totally spamming this thread.

New torpedo effects, inspired by EVE Online. I figured out a way to very cleverly fake the flares that EVE uses, and put it to good use. Note, the effect is actually pretty big too, I am a good distance away from the torpedoes in the screenshots.

No U’re not spamming…
Spamm is useless and your work is far from being useless.
Keep the good work, I’ve tested all your effects so far and they all look awesome!!!

Edit: Thanks so much for sharing your work, i will include them earlier or later into New Universe and write u into the credits once your effects are added.
I wish more people would share their work like u

Agreed, your stuff is very good, an area that nobody has really looked at before, and its a shame, because the stuff you’re making is great.

Looking forward to see more of your spam ;D

Well, I’m working on a nuke explosion at the moment, and I’ve done a quick recolour of a Rheinland engine to make an ion engine. It’s nothing compared to what Why485 and others have done, but I’ll post some images as soon as I’m fairly happy with it/finished figuring out things.

Also, awesome work Why!

Uhh Why WTF? That’s awesome! ;D

Al right Why, you inspired me ;D May I ask for permission to use them in my mod? They just look awesome If so, let me know

Hi Why485, I was use your work in my mod.

And I was add your name to my mod thanks list.

Hope you don’t mind. ;D

Why485, I would also like to use these effects in the UnderVerse. Full credits given. Nice work!

It’s ok for everyone to use the effects. Thank you for the heads up.

I updated the homing missile effects now to use the new flame trails and stuff.

This has been my latest project. Something I have been wanting to do for a long time now. Basically, what when there is a battle, the local space gets filled with dust. In very heavy and concentrated bouts, you can actually practically create your own localized field.

This is a very difficult effect to take screenshots of, as it is a fairly subtle effect most of the times. The only way to actually really take screenshots of it is to really go out of your way to cause and create it, so with the exception of the first screenshot, what you see is the most extreme example of me pounding away at the station for a minute.

I’ve been further tweaking the effect. I also added debris to the mix. The debris actually caused no noticeable performance hit. Go figure.

The effect is pretty subtle, and doesn’t show up too well in YouTube. It is most noticeable around the 2:20 and onward mark though. I may put up a downloadable version on Filefront. I highly reccommend you go to YouTube actual and watch it with the HD option.

That’s because it doesn’t have a proper explosion yet…

Torpedoes in Flak are very mean things, they are supposed to stand out and be super dangerous. If it’s really that big of a deal feel free to modify the effect. Long as I get credit for the original it’s all good. After starting doing programming-ish stuff I have a new appreciation for open source anything.

Indeed. Shooting down torpedoes is a biggie in 88 Flak, and having them this big makes it very clear where to shoot when you’re flying anti-torp escort for a carrier.

Also, here’s the direct link for the high-quality YouTube of the Battledust:

And finally, the direct link for the high-quality YouTube of the Flak Cannon effects, including the Nomad Flak effects among other things (I dunno if this was posted before or not):

Small update. Here’s Why485’s new Torpedo effect (now complete with new explosion) in combination with some INI-side magic to produce the following:

That be a Torpedo. Full-size link here.

Wow !

Very cool fox !

Keep your great work.

This is going to be my last video/picture/effects thingie for awhile. Once the new version of 88 Flak comes out I’m going to take a break from Freelancer modding. This video is basically all the effects I’ve done put together.

"During an RC122 internal test, an enormous two part dogfight broke out above a player-purchaseable base. In total, the ships included in the dogfight are: Starstinger (Me), Centurion (KillerJaguar), Kusari Destroyer, Kusari Gunboat, Some 12 Blood Dragons, 4-6 Unlawful Freelancers, 4 Bounty Hunters. Also visible in the video are the all new effects used in RC122. These include the missile trails, torpedo trails, torpedo impacts, and the ambient Battledust. "
