New effects?
 

I've noticed that Zone needs some work when it comes to effects.

For example, compare the flamethrower on zone (attatched) to a flamethrower in real life.

Would be nice if Zone's looked something like that.

I've also noticed that bikes no longer give off a huge cloud of smoke once they explode. What's up with that? Bikes should also give off a small amount of smoke when they have low hp.

On Arctic, you should be able to see the player's breath. When HP is at red, the player's breath should be seen more often (because they are breathing more heavily + faster).

bikes should be cooler if you ask me.

i like the flame idea, but...would it lag people more? i dont really know, im not a big expert with what lags and what doesnt, but also, those flames would really be amazing compared to the way other weapons are, theyd be kinda...out of place i think...still awesome though

as for smoke/bikes...all i can say is...agreed

didnt we have a discussion about blood for when a player has low hp? i still like that idea, but breathing is good too =]

Had to be me...didn't it?

Edit: I cannot see wrecked bikes anymore. Why not? They just dissapear and go back to their respawn point as soon as they have been destroyed.

hello particle engine?

I agree with that. If the flame thrower was made with the particle engine, it wouldn't lag nearly as much. It'd actually be cooler if it was a spray, too, instead of a straight line of fire.

i no i suggested that in another recently posted thread lmao...it'd be cool if the flamethrower left an after burn for awhile like on the pic (look below the bigass fire near the end...there's some fire burning on the ground)

Note that our current flamethrower did not look like this before. It was an ugly straight line of fire, I had posted that above pic in an old ass thread and Stefan then changed it. However the particle system was either not out then or in its very early stages of development.

Now I'm hoping for some real fire looking things.

The whole breathing on arctic thing is very possible, specially breathing at lower hp as it would just end up being breath showing up more often.

i whipped up a flamethrower emitter. somethin like this maybe?

that would be perfect :D

Exactly like that! Great job man.

Nice one!

If it lags less, I'm completely for it.

I have checked the video, looks nice, would be nice if we are allowed to use it :)

Coupled with the breath, it sounds like a good new update to me ;)

yeah sure you guys can use it. the script is found on zenkou obviously in a level called flamethrower.nw
