I hate the new particle muzzleflash

[leileilol]

see that in the air yes that's it and it's stupid

fyi the particle muzzleflash is NOT THE FLASH ON THE END OF THE GUN. i'm aiming upward, so this flash appears out of the air, looking stupid

also another con is that it never follows you meaning at high speeds you won't even see that flash.
also another con is that you cant do a lot of creative liberties with it
sure it 'saves network packets' but makes Nexuiz uglier and takes a step back. Not many new FPS games even use particles for muzzleflashes anymore.

I think it's a bit large, but I don't mind.

no aim up animation
so model can not represent where you aim
particle point is correct. model is not

[leileilol]

particle point is correct. model is not

well good fucking luck reanimating every model to aim up and down without animation blending, and etc.

WTF? It saves bandwidth? No, it ADDS an effect to the existing model flash. Models can't do stuff like smoke.

However, I'd opt for removing that particle flash again, but keep its rtlight because that one can't be done by a model. I don't need that smoke thingy.

I love it , its awesame in third person. and imagine demo`s in third person ..

that's nonsense. You can do qc rtlight fine on entities.

i say leave it an option (but better OFF by default)

[C.Brutail]

Let it be an option

One that fades out? Without re-sending it every frame? And can it be positioned in a sane way (that is, not the model's origin)?
