Hagar and nade SVN smoke trails... red??

Postby take_this_cup_of_poison » Fri Oct 10, 2008 4:32 am

I like the old white smoke trails for the hagar rather than the new red ones. I don't understand why the new ones are red. The hagar seems to be pnumatically assisted thus should have white trails. Also white trails will make it seem abit diffrent.

I like everything else.

I like the dark trails for the rocket etc.

+1 here. The red trails on the Hagar rockets simply don't look right at all I think. The red trails on the Mortar's grenades however look really nice so I hope only the ones on the hagar get removed. Don't believe white trails of that type would be good either though, I think the hagar should just be the way it was before and not have any new trails except the smoke (something like the rocket launcher's smoke trails).

Agreed, also I don't like the same red on the mortar. Currently both are the same effect trail number (and not sure if it can be easily extended). Morphed has to do this.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

I like the new mortar trail, but would like to have hagar like it was (perhaps slightly darker than it was)

If there will be a red smoke trail on the nade launcher could it be the color of your team?

I thought about that too. The reason I believe the red trails look good on the mortar grenades is because they look like some laser emitting grenades which leave a trail of light from a device inside or something. Colored in team color... could be an interesting thing though I'm not sure how good that would really look like. Team colors on ammo is usually reserved for special weapons in games... for Nexuiz it could be the laser which is the main gun or the ministagib as its a special weapon (though even that I think would look bad in reality). Having player-colored ammo on the mortar would look pretty odd I think, and could also bring out a "but why on this gun and not on this one" idea too.
