Tompa9 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hello, are you planing any new weapons effects? Im using ultimateweapons, but when there are too many npcs and shots, game is laggy. MB2 has nice optimized weapon effects. Link to comment
Circa Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Doesn't UltimateWeapons have a LQ version for that kinda issue? Link to comment
Tompa9 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Doesn't UltimateWeapons have a LQ version for that kinda issue? I havent tried it yet but question was if JAE would modify weapons effects too Link to comment
Circa Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 We will, though that will be a ways down the road. We may just take some concepts from UltimateWeapons, unless we can get permission from Kahn to use his. Link to comment
Ramikad Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 An alternative would be to use effects from JKG. The gfx are pretty damn good. Bek likes this Link to comment
eezstreet Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The effects subsystem in the game is not very well optimized from a coding standpoint. This is most evident when compiled in a debug build - it relies heavily on compiler optimizations to not slow the game down hardcore. Perhaps I can take a look at it sometime and see what can be improved. In the meantime, we need some effects for specific things that aren't shown in the game - water for when an ATST lifts its feet out of water, a splash effect for ATST feet landing in water, DEMP2 conducting electricity through water, and perhaps some other things that I am missing.

Archangel35757 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 @@eezstreet - how does it know when to play those kind of water splash effects? What are the code/event triggers? Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 It isn't coded yet.Ok... well, I have some awesome FX plugins for 3dsMax: glu3D for water FX, Afterburn & FumeFX for fire, smoke, explosions, etc. If you have some parameter to know the water depth we can vary the effect... Big puddle versus 1 foot deep, etc. Link to comment

Futuza Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I've never really been sure, does JKA have a particle system? Link to comment

eezstreet Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yes it does have a particle effect system. That's what .efx files are for. Link to comment
Futuza Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Was always confused, because so many other games refer to it differently. Thanks for the clarification Link to comment
