FriendlyFire made that effect with ALE editing. It was just a lot of hard work and trial and error…and a lot of experience with ALEs

That is seriously awesome work mate. well done to you as well as FF and his ALE effects work

Totally forgot about the fancy missile effects

the first explosions looks good, the 2nd too - but i think the 2nd one is way too big. What i like most are the little depris that are vanishing after some time. That one looks really neat

Thanks, Huor. As it for it being too big, we can never get consensus on that, lol. Some people say, NOT BIG ENOUGH, and some people say,TOO BIG.

Where’s Goldilocks when you need her?

Anyways, still a WIP so there might be some adjustments

@Uvalen77:
Are these explosions based on the mine explosions?

@Sushi:
Can’t watch your video, youtube says “This video contains content of Sony Music Entertainment. It’s not available in your country anymore.”, and moddb says “Oooops! There seems to be something wrong with this video :(”…

That work?

Awesome effects and the video works

I just checked some other videos on moddb and they all don’t work for me. The strange thing is it worked some weeks ago…

update your flash player (random thought)

Sorry, slow PC. It is for DoD, maybe.

In shiparch.ini:

[CollisionGroup]
explosion_resistance = 0.200000
obj = Li_nose_lod1

child_impulse = 2000.000000
debris_type = cap_ship_piece2

fuse = miningbase_small_ice_burning_fuse, 0, 1 ; use fuse with 'death_fuse = false'

group_dmg_hp = DpFrnt
group_dmg_obj = li_dread_front_cap
hit_pts = 420000 ; make hit points lower than ship hull

Works completely at server-side.

A couple of things i found in FL that are unused so modified them a bit and stuck them in my mod,

This shimmers and sparkles and rotates

This pulses in an eye searing fashion every few seconds

The neutron star effect, nothing really new apart from it was missing so i put it back. I know others have done this as well but it still looks cool.

hm, any hints what keywords to search for? just don’t want to browse all the files for what is used and what not, sry xD

Been a long long time since I’ve seen the end sequence of the storyline, but those might be the effects from trents ship as the artifact activates the hypergate.

Most of those are hiding in the space.ale file. Timmy you’re half right there, i spliced the end sequence effect by using the splines from it and attaching it to another effect using HpFX hardpoints

Can you tell us please what are their original nicknames, that we can use them?

Tbh everything except the neutron star effect has been modified, so you won’t get them to look the same in a month of sundays unless you know what i did to them. I shouldn’t really have said unused effects as they are used (at least the original effects are), but only in SP. They certainly aren’t used in MP and the neutron star effect isn’t used at all, no idea why, as it looks cool as hell imho.

That said, the effects i modified are,

gf_nomadwormholeopening
dyson_city_mainreactorglow
dyson_city_creationbeam
gf_neutronstar
