Tweaking particle settings ...

[Qantourisc]

Personally I hated the original Nexuiz 2.0 Rocket explosion, so I sought the configuration file, and now i'm able to adjuct it...
I was wondering if there where more peaple who feel about this the same way. (If there are, i could try to rework the entire particle configuration to make it look really good)
Currently it's looking OK, but atm it's relativly distracting
(If you want a screenshot please, to lazy to take one atm )
(Note i'm not an official dev or something)

Well yeah post some screenies and give the stuff to the community so that everyone can test and judge for themselves.

well i use only sparks and smoke and thats only because i can't figure out how to disable smoke.

[esteel]

should be:
cl_particles_explosions_smokes 0
cl_particles_smoke 0

Goto whereever /Nexuiz/Data/*.pk3 is stored, unzip them remove the original *.pk3 packeges (this way you are sure he is going to use the extracted data) edit effectinfo.txt.

Ok i'll work in it some more so they look beautifull, and are not to distracting (currently mine look OK, but they also drop your fps like a brick )

nope, you can just extract the effectinfo.txt, edit this, and it will use the extracted file and not the one inside the pk3 file

usefull anyhows: here is my current attempt...
Do note this won't work with a low fps ... because my explosions are FAST (typcical effect only last 0.1 second,to keep in speed with the speed of nexuiz)
The smoke the rocket leaves might get a problem when there are a LOT of rockets flying around. But it shouldn't introduce any issues when you are moving around.

Updated almost all effect, but other then the explosions, they didn't change a lot
Explosions are now differntly
Mortar and euu minirockets now have small and fast explosions, allowing you to see if and what you are doing
Rocket explosions are now fast and clutter the screen less and more at the same time.
Updated laser with sparks
Respawning items now have the flare in the center and draw your attention more
When peaple transport now the magic sparks go out of the way

And since we all love screenshot: here is a screen:

I have the feeling this part of the forum is not looked at by most correct ?

[C.Brutail]

I was reading it, and I was just waiting for some shots

Nice explosion, but would be best to have a screen for all the others too. Anyway, I give it a shot. As I read it, it's not looking nicer, but functionallity is in first place. I like that.

I would love some "Lo-Fi" particle set. Like reduced to the minimum. Dunno if people would consider that as cheating though?
