Sky's Effects Pack (new) - Requests being taken

Post by Sky_216 »

Anyway, I got PE to work (finally) and oh my gods it's awesome (I've been editiong effects with wordpad, and having to munge and test every time I wanted to see what it looked like, so yeah, HUGE improvement.)

Anyway, I'm going back to my old effects, redoing them all, and making a ton of new ones.

Here's a list of what's been done so far: (screenshots later today)
Hidden/Spoiler:
1. Force Dark Bomb Explosion
2. Force Light Bomb Explosions (2 kinds)
4. Force Dark Bomb Trail
3. Singularity Explosions (2 kinds)
4. Gas Explosion Medium
5. Afterburner (crazy flamethrower)
6. Gas Emitter
7. Missiletrail (bigger, lots of smog)
8. Chargeup Effects (different coloured ones)
9. New Jetpack Effects (4 kinds)
10. New explosions (four, various sizes/shapes)
11. Nukes (3 kinds: green, grey and black/orange smog)
12. Dark Rifts (green and red kinds)
13. Mini EMP explosion
14. Supernova Bomb Trail
15. Supernova Bomb Explosion
Anyway, any requests can be made, BUT:
1. Max 3 requests per user.
2. Give detailed description of what you want each effect to be like.
3.Specify if the effect is to be a trail (infinite lifespan) or an explosion (finite lifespan)

I'd like to see a good SWBF2 version of the TFU force push effect. I tried, and failed. :cpu:

Note: This is hard. A blue, small, white, snow-like swirl that goes into the air and then comes down as hail in a fairly large radius.

The smoke effect from com_sfx_weap_incinerate_ord_exp.fx gives the remote droid self-destruct the illusion of distorting light (like you would see on a road on a hot sunny day). I guess you could build off of that to try to give it that light distortion look.

I can't imagine the blue swirls would be too hard to do. Just use the particle type and use flashball.

It'd be nice if you could do that force push effect, Sky. A matching pull effect, as well, possibly?

:yes:

like the TFU-one and if you do one, could you also do such an effect as explosion?
it should look like the "jump in the air and unleash a big forcepush into all directions"
effect in tfu, im willing to do the new animation animations for this effect

D.u.c.k. If you did that, I would LOVE you. Not the creepy way, though.
