Ah, I think those were generated via LordHavoc's LHFire, weren't they?

Mega made them, I know he used some program but I have no clue which one.

In the meanwhile, I've been messing around with particles: I've replaced the jumpgate
flare with a real vortex , the yellow blob in front of the jumpgate is a mine I blew up.

It's a frame from the explosion animations mega once made (fx/explosion01_16),
the texture is 512x512 but hardly uses the available space.

Improved explosion particles.

Looks much, much better. Out of curiosity what is the source for the actual "explosion" texture? Is there a higher resolution version?

I was dazzled when I first saw this video, suddenly it all looks like a real game
Remember 2010 

Things we were talking about and need to be addressed:

- Projectile hitbox size is too small
- Aiming distance problems: aim uses the distance of the currently selected target: if it is too close, projectiles will collide and anihilate.
- Keys to target players only. (x?)

My remarks

- If the currently selected players is off-screen, the target indicator isn't very obvious
- Target indicators might need different colors
- "Third person" view is way too jittery: client interpolation will help, but camera handling needs to be reviewed. There are related problems with aiming in this camera mode
- A camera mode indicator, especially in Free View (Turret View)
- Mount button needs to work like the unmount button
- Fix having to press the respawn button twice

Unfortunately, audio got lost somewhere. I blame fraps.

Textures and Graphics / Project::OSiRiON skybox collection for Quake 3 compatible engines

« Last post by Ingar on 2012-12-15 16:57:43 »

I have converted our current skybox collection to a quake3-compatible format and released them on the
Unvanquished and Xonotic forums. I added the choice to use them under GPLv2 at the request of one of the Xonotic devs. As far as I know I'm the only one who created skies, please remind me if I'm wrong.

I've also expanded on the skybox tutorial, maybe we'll end up with a number of people actually using Spacescape.
