Title: Seperate effects for each weapon
Post by: -Vis- on January 08, 2007, 07:52:35 pm: I know similar threads have been made, but I'd really like to be able to make each weapon more unique. For example, the m79's explosion. I'm using a Crimsonland mod, and I'd like it to create an ion burst where it hits instead of the default explosion, without changing all the other explosions, such as nades etc. I'd also like each bullet type to have its own visual effect when making contact with something. For example, if you had a weapon that fires acid, it could make small acid clouds where the acid makes contact with polygons. Obviously it wouldn't affect anyone making contact with it, but it would allow for some nice visual effects.

Another thing would be to have seperate sound effects for pulling out each weapon.

Do you have a link? I haven't seen any posts about this recently.

I did say there have been similar threads, but this isn't just about the explosions.

Ha, I was just about to point that out. This also covers collision effects, which have never been done before (aside from, I guess you could say, the Flamer and Rambo Bow's regular arrows).

Post by: Nfsjunkie91 on January 10, 2007, 08:35:07 am: Full support for this, as of now, the system limits modding because we can't make different explosion effects.

Post by: Pyroguy on January 10, 2007, 04:24:47 pm: I would like to see each weapon have its own projectile, clip, shell, flash, and (animated?) collision graphics, and any other necessary graphics for whatever type of projectile you want; this would be the (second) best day ever for modders (the best would be an overhaul of the weapons.ini).

Post by: Hiro on January 17, 2007, 07:25:41 am: I like the idea of having different explosions, my edited DOOM mod can't have green explosions because the rocket launcher and grenades shouldn't have them.

Support, at least for the explosions part.
