I always thought you couldn't.
Awsome, i think a more electrical, sparky particle effect might be cool.

In sake of flexibility. This way mission designers can make their own sized gates. There will be different lenghted versions of the gate, this is the smallest one...if we'd make it one system, it'd cause targeting bracket problems, weird explosion effect and decrease in lod efficiency. Plus we have intentions to enable the gate-moving thing seen in Thirdspace which wouldn't be possible if it'd made your way.

Anyone have a pics handy of this gate moving thing? Also ET1, what do you think about altering particle effects?

Try watching "Thirdspace", there they have to reform the gate for the 'dimension gate' or whatever it is to fit in. Altering the particle effect is quite easy  : just create the ani file, name it and use. I believe there was a table for those... At least in weapons.tbl there is a damage ani for every weapon.

Wait a second... Are you saying that you can have different kinds of impact effects for ewery weapon? Other than impact explosions. Or do I have trouble undestanding you...

No, your quite right, guns can have varrying impact explosions.
I think its a little much for a standard fighter gun to do such a thing, but the Badgers pulse cannons and several of the capital ship weapons will have impact animations. Some we'll probably refine later.

i think the number of impact explosions is limited to about 4 total or is it 3 i cant rmeember - unless that can be changed in another table other than the explosions table

I think having a particle trail coming off a damaged ship looks good.

Well good! Because it looks good!
Are you trying to say that when you shoot something with a pulse gun it causes no visible damage effect?

No, they're not good. And I don't mean that, I mean the particle spray coming out of the point of hitting, not the damage effect itself. In fighters the spray is way too big compared to the ship itself...it makes it look a bit "flary". I'd rather have it without it, but guess there isn't much we can do about it.

I like the particle spray myself, but it does look stupid in some occassions - especially if it 'streams' through the hull.
How are the particales generated, are they hard coded? It would look pretty good if you could make it look a bit like (on capships) it was gas 'venting'..... albeit only if it was stored as some sort of animation.

Well I have to agree that it is perhaps a little 'large'... But it's better than not having damage effect at all. And when the ship is moving it doesn't look bad at all...
Organic ships (Vorlons&Shadows) would maybe be better without it...

Rubish, it doesn't look too big atall.
however it might be fun to see some various sprays coming off depending on the damage done maybe?

well I think we should change the particle ani, just as we're probably changing the shockwave at some point.

i don't know if this can be done, but it don't look right seeing a flare and sparks coming of a shadow ship when its hit.
So is it possible to change the particle ani when any weapon hits a certain ship?
