I'm a little bored, so I thought I could cure my boredom while providing a little service to the community.

You can request particle FX here for ZH, I will make what is asked and then it will be available for public download. If your request is similar to something I have made for EC, I will still try and make it anyway, without it being too similar to something I have already made.

If the requestee wants to provide extra textures, thats also welcomed.

I wish to ask for

> a better missel tracer FX or texture.
> better normal bullet effects like in contra

Thanks in advance,

-Gen.Kenobi

By missile tracer, you mean a missile trail right? I cannot make custom textures, I just use what I can find on the net. Can you also be a bit more specific, whats the missile trail for, what colours ect.

I believe the bullet effect from contra is done entirely using a custom texture, so I can't do that i'm afraid.

[cccdfern]

A good bit of particle cannon laser fx please.

[Stalker]

My suggestion:

a big and flashy superweapon effect for an anti-matter explosion or an effect over time. Should be as large as a nuke.

If possible a smaller (Aurora FAB size) version of the above suggestion.



Is it ok to post textures from other (EA) Games?

Yes, you can post textures from anything.

@CCCD - Particle beam is a scrolling texture, however I did have one that kind of pulsed as it went down, i'll see if I can find it. You can also control a few other things, such as the thickness of the beam, colours ect.

Aw that sounds fun!

All I need is the knowledge to achieve it and I'll be there, is there any knack to it?

[Ion Cannon!]

Its in weaponobjects. Just search for orbital beam and it should come up. Its pretty self explanitory, width, number of beams, beam thickness ect.

[Ion Cannon!]

Sorry for the double post. Heres your anti-matter SupW Stalker.



Heres the code, texture goes into Art > Textures. This is a public particle, anyone can use it, but please credit me if you use it for a public project.

Those are awesome particle textures!


@Ion:

Can i request a carpet bomb blast fx? Since the one in ZH is indescribably shit. Can you make it look "identical" to the blast fx seen in World in conflict?:

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Your video wasn't clear, so I found another one. Yes I think I can do that ^

Word of warning, its going to be particle intensive. Unless anyone has a nice texture which combines smoke and explosion in one.

EDIT:

Heres your Carpet Bomb FX yayo, it uses the smoke texture stalker uploaded. I think it looks pretty similar to the WIC one, but see what you think
Like the previous effect this is public and free to use, but if you use it for a public project, please credit me.

Wow cool, nice effects, and in so short of a time. You are quite efficient.

Well anyway, how about one to replace ZH's shitty default missile trail. I think that's mentioned already, but does no harm asking again, no?

[cccdfern]

I only got purple squares when I put that Carpet bombing one in :(

[Stalker]

You will need some of this Textures

Yes, but I believe I renamed the texture. Thankfully there is an easy fix. Rename the smoke texture from stalkers file from smoke_massive_black1 to EXNukeSmoke1. Then the purple squares will no longer appear.

If your having trouble with the effect showing due to low particle count there is an easy fix. Find Public_CarpetBombSmoke in the particlesystems file and reduce the burst count from 40 to 20. The effect still looks pretty similar, but its a much smaller particle count.

Great carpet bomb fx ion

[Nem]

The anti matter bomb was lack luster, While the carpet bomb was extremely well done.

Nice work Mr. Ion

Thanks, I only wish ZH didn't hate ground aligned particles so much. I hate it when textures dissappear into the ground, better than the tearing though.

[Nem]

Are you using a line volume type to raise it off the ground a bit?

VolumeType = LINE
VolLineStart = X:0.00 Y:0.00 Z:5.00
VolLineEnd = X:0.00 Y:0.00 Z:5.00

Something like that is invisible to the eye but solves any issues that could occur on a normal map.

[Ion Cannon!]

Its at offset Z:35.00

The flare clips the ground because it gets too big, but any smaller and the effect didn't look as good.

[Nem]

Ah. Well the Lenz Flare isn't ground aligned so, yeah raising it off the ground won't help with that.
