Just updated it with a new plasma effect. Took me all of about 10 seconds to create it. Also modified the sound effect. I like it a lot better than the original. I used the same technique I used to create the lasers. Simply creative use with glows. You always stick a white glow inside a colored glow.
For impact hits, I would like to create some sort of effect so that when it strikes a wall, it becomes heated. The impact texture will simply show an animated oaf file that looks hot and dissipates heat.
He's got the same reticule that I do! Anyway, neat affect. I had the laser one installe last night and I have to say it was really neat to have that for the lasers flying around, made them alot easier to spot...
Thanks guys. Yep, I definitly plan on a public release, after I get all everything done. I noticed with carefull use, certain simple visual effects can really add to the game and gameplay. Such as the lasers being easier to see and for my bullet-shell mod, if you fire the Vauss cannon, you will leave a nice little trail behind you. I plan this as well for the Mass-Driver to an extent. I'm still working on Fusion, which I'm still not quite happy with.
As long as I so choose to let them. They are set on a lifespan timer. I think I left it at like 3-5 seconds. I think I like 3. Napalm globs stays around for about 8 seconds.
