Lookin' for SHIP effects...

[Blue Devil]

Hey Y'all, ...

Lookin' for two(2) ship fx's...

fx_veh_fire_s.fx
fx_OilRig_l.fx

Thanks in advance...

The vehicle effects are here http://web.tiscali.it/jobim/cfs2/ A warning though, this effect will leave a scorched earth in the ocean at the point that it was called up. :icon_eek: Here's two more of the bookmarks I have for effects designers.

Thanks dvslats, ...

Had D/L'ed the rest of his stuff(Nibbio), ...but missed this...

Note: had it in a Misc. Nibbio folder...

The "fx_veh_fire_s.fx" shows up in a lot of ship.dp large gun FX sequences.(40mm+)

Will test (thought it was already active, ...) and may through it out and delete the .dp entries. (scorched water just doesn't seem quite right...)

Thanks again.

A little side note, if the effects file contains fx_3.bmp in it that will be the scorched earth. Taking a shot at modifying some of these...the three blocks the fx_3.bmp is associated with (blocks of code, same number) can be deleted to get rid of this call up. After deleting, put the numbering sequence (three blocks per number) [Emitter.X]..[Particle.X]..
[ParticleAttributes.X]..back into order. No more earthly ashtray. I just tried this out a little while ago and so far so good.

I'll look into that, ...thanks.

Lit up a few AK fantails, ...and the 5"/38 DP damage box burned like an oil drum, ...no "scorch".

Will test further...(yea, ...more flight-test, ...flying, ...blowin' stuff up, ...stuff burning, ...much more testing, ...yea...)

I'm thinking of doing an fx.3 .bmp that eliminates that scorched earth thingy which is a PITA often as not, often ending up in the middle of the sky or 10+ feet off the ground.. OK, while on the subject- what is the proper (kosher) method of saving .fx & prop .bmp's after they are tweaked to satisfaction. Do you need that texturing thingy from Microshaft?

I just use "DXTBmpx"...

OK, I just worked it out. As usual, I was making it too difficult.

Well, that would make things a whole lot easier.

The outstanding culprit I've been finding in several .dp's is the fx_fatal_explosion. Even though the info in the .fx file was removed (fx.3.bmp), the three blocks, where the ground texture use to show...now there's a... how to explain, well something like a white translucent disk. Like the sim is still reserving a location for the texture call up. Does that make sence? :isadizzy: Not to get too nitpickey with these, just an observation.

YES, that makes a lot of sense. I did an fx_3 with the scorched earth 'alpha'd ' out that seems to do the trick in my testing.

Just got your download OW and it works like a charm. Nice craters too. Thanks

Thanks.
