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

Developer discussion of experimental fixes, changes, and improvements.

Moderators: Nexuiz Moderators, Moderators


  • 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.

  • No, having it team-colored is stupid. If you can't figure out what team you are on from the current clues, you shouldn't be playing at all.

  • Yeah I agree torus. Maybe on the minista-nex that could look somehow good like UT2004 has team colors for its instagib in team games, but otherwise no.

  • Well, it's not that I can't figure it out, what team I'm playing. Think about this: you're in a middle of a fights, and somebody is nade spamming. In this case, it's a good thing that I can see the trail color, so I know I can safely go through the area, because those grenades are frindly ones.

  • My opinion: Why don't add the old effects? I hate this red-smoke thing..

    I agree. Torus doesn't so he want's the discussion ended :P.
    Would be good as a "mutator" maybe that could be set.
