rocket trail / launch effect(s)

[kinetosimpetus]

It uses a more flame like trail, and adds some offset flame and smoke effects that only play once, making it look like smoke and fire come out the back of the launcher.



The fx and (hopefully) all textures required included in the download.
Put it Sides\Common\effects\ and use

Code: Select all

TrailEffect = "com_sfx_weap_rockettrail_flame_2"

in the rocket ord file (also change light colors to match! I used the values from the ALL rocket)

A version for the SBD wrist rocket

The second version!
Back exhaust smoke spreads a little more, and flame is smaller.

While I don't quite adore the effect itself, I love the idea of an offset flame to simulate a fire effect.

[kinetosimpetus]

Do you have any suggestions for an improved version?

[Delta-1035]

Good effect.

[Fiodis]

Perhaps the backwards exhaust could be smaller.

[MileHighGuy]

nice effect, it looks much better! and i agree with the above statement

[kinetosimpetus]

how much smaller? 50%?

[Master_Ben]

Yeah, great concept, but I'd make the back effect smoke-like. It looks kinda odd to me to see a fireball come whirlin' out of the back end of a rocket launcher.

[Ka-Ching]

very nice effect man

[newguy99]

I like it!


Nice work.

[kinetosimpetus]

is this one better?

[Master_Ben]

Oooh, yes!

[kinetosimpetus]

ok, i'll update the first post with new effects.

[EA711]

Maybe you should have the standard muzzle flash at the front and smoke at the back?

[RevanSithLord]

Nice work on the back blast effect! Makes it seem a little more realistic. (Otherwise, if it were blaster effects, I'd be calling it 'authentic' rather than 'realistic'.) Nice job, again. Might come in handy someday for me when I'm like....mapping more. :p
