I was messing with my soldat files,and i thought it would be a GREAT idea to have different explosions for each weapon (m79,m72 LAW)
it would make modding better.
(counterstrike MOD=smoke nades,Robot/cyborg MOD=red explosions,green,white explosions)spaceman MOD=gray fire(gases)

what do you guys think?

I agree, not all weapons have one uniform explosion, and it will benefit mods completly. The explosions could go into weapon-gfx as m79-explosion or somthing like that.
I support this idea.

ORyou can put all wep-fire or all wep-smoke

I support, plus than maybe we could get bigger or smaller radius explosions on the weapons

I think it might work out.

it will lower the frames per second on all the crappy computers in the world who don't have the processing power to render 30kb of bitmaps.

This would be good for modders too. I support.

Yeah, so when we mortar with a LAW, we can have a nuclear explosion GFX. Sounds good.

Yeah, great idea. Editable stats for the different explosions as well as for the guns sounds awesome too, it could just be another weapons.ini editable feature. (not sure if anyone suggested that last one, maybe I just didn't read carefully...)

When I first started playing soldat, i thought that was kind of strange... my m79 killed in one hit, but it had the same kind of explosion as my grenades.

well it is a grenade launcher. it could be using the same explosive, just on a contact explode

divix · « **Reply #17 on:** December 02, 2006, 10:35:53 am »

oh yes!! this idea is awesome!!!!!
its a real bummer when you change the explosion it affects all the other explosive weapons
and from time to time i realised that non of the suggestions/ideas really made it to the game itself amd i right???
so why bother?? but still I EXTREMLY SUPPORT IT

Plonkoon · « **Reply #18 on:** December 02, 2006, 11:42:27 am »

If each gun can have their own bullet why not their own explosion?

popsofctown · « **Reply #19 on:** December 02, 2006, 12:10:54 pm »

You know what i think.... i think u should add a poll

{depth}shaman · « **Reply #21 on:** February 19, 2007, 10:24:11 pm »

I would say keep the m79 and law explosions the same, and change grenades. Real grenade explosions dont look like fireballs. Anybody here played resident evil 4? Thats what they look like. Energy is released as free energy, not fire. The whole deal is very quick and kind of has a flash. Still will fuck you up though!

The Red Guy · « **Reply #22 on:** February 20, 2007, 12:35:51 am »

I fully support this idea! Modders will surely make use of this!

Tinky Winky TKer · « **Reply #23 on:** February 20, 2007, 02:09:53 am »

I like modding, and making different explosions would be cool! Let's make a energy ball launcher, or plasma grenade...

No, you can't change the explosion damage of an explosive bullet unless actually mod the weapon itself. If you mod the mp5 to shoot m79 bullets and set the power to 1, but leave the m79 as it is, it will do as much damage as the m79 because of a weapons.ini glitch.

Plus, flamed arrows, LAW missiles, and m79 bullets are all one hit kills on direct contact no matter what power you set them to, and the cluster grenade's power is directly linked to how powerful you make the grenades.

GluLm · « **Reply #25 on:** February 20, 2007, 12:59:38 pm »

Good suggestion.
And I'm sure MM can do that without bashing his head against the walls. ;)
This is the kind of improvements Soldat might need.

q0p4z · « **Reply #26 on:** February 20, 2007, 03:16:36 pm »

i support it.

the current explosion i'm using doesnt fit very well to the flamer. thats why i want to have a different one for the flamer. Never thought of the other weapons, but its also good to have different explosions.

Atleast make one for the flamer and one for the rest...

I like this idea, and yet I never thought of it.

So sad am I now....

-POST REVIVE!-

Why shouldn't this be in the next version? This increases the mod-ability of Soldat and it doesn't hurt...
