Elite_Pirate · Last edited by Elite_Pirate on Thu Jul 01, 2010 9:25 pm; edited 5 times in total

Very basic attempt at making a weapon projectile with a little trailer.

Comments are appreciated.

EDIT: Uploaded new gif. Better projectile and trailer.

EDIT 2: Uploaded new gif. Better warhead anim (recoloured). Slight enhancement of trailer.

Hmm. I like it. It looks like a nice replacement to the Cybord Commando's plasma cannon.

hehehe... the Cyborg Commando has a yoyo #Tongue

Looks pretty good, maybe a little too regular in shape, but good.

^^yep, make the shape of the big blue ball more random. Also add 2 or 3 frames more to the shp, giving it a small animation.
Then in art.ini add the following code to make the projectile anim work
[Blueballthingyprojectile]
AnimLow=0 ;the game starts counting at frame 0
AnimHigh=2 ;if you have frames 1-3 in shp builder
AnimRate=1

Ok, update:

The projectile now changes shape during flight and the trailer goes less sparkly at the end of the trailer. I know it doesn't show very well in the .gif but it does ingame.

Nice blue plasma alternative. I'd use it if I had a project. One suggestion is a blue explosion though, I think it'd go better than a red one.

Also, where the hell did you get that commando from? Its nice.

Yeah blue explosion would feel more right plus not sure whats with the TS original explo on the background under red exp.

I'd say it's the tank exploding, I think you can see it being gone for frame or two at the end of gif animation.

And yeah, blue colored explosion would probably fit in better.

...or at least turn from blue to yellow to red.

It came as a little surprise in a pack I got from TiberiumWeb.com, although there are some problems over there at the moment, making all downloads not working. Unfortunately I don't remember the original creator since I downloaded it several months ago.

It is indeed the tank exploding. The anim of the warhead is the RA2 Apocalypse Tank warhead anim. I figured nothing short of the Cyborg Commando himself was worthy to overtake that anim.

Update: Blue explosion? Something like this?

The last update looks very nice, but I wonder if the muzzle flash at the start would look better if it was aslo blue instead of the red/orange ?

It remind me of the Psycho Cannon (the ultimate weapon) in Genesis game Ghoul's n Ghost ^^

Tacyarts, you realise that muzzle flash is from the actual cyborg artwork right...

It seems this got quite a positive reaction from most. You people got any more feedback for me on this?

I could ... but considering the commando wasn't made by me, i would feel bad. Also, if I wanted to release it all in the future then I couldn't release the cyborg, considering I don't hold the rights.
