:::Small update: Rocket particle close enough to done (not the best of projectiles, but good enough). Laser getting there. I just have to mess with the lifetime of the contrail. Right now I am getting a light show effect. Cool, but not what we want. :) More, when it isn't 1:42 AM.

::::Another update: Laser is working...sort of. I need to replace the sounds and hit actions, but those aren't a big deal. WWhat is annoying is the fact that the laser seems to tear at longer distances. This is solvable by making the particle move faster. Unfortunately, this makes short range firing disappear (if the particle hits a wall before the part of the engine that draws contrails catches it, there is no contrail...) So, I have to make it fire two particles. The first is the long range one that actually does damage. The second is a short range one that disappears before it can get the tearing effect, and does no damage. I don't have the time to do this tonight though, and tomorrow I am going to Seafair. So Monday I should have a testable version of this.[[User:Gumby|Gumby]] 04:09, 3 August 2008 (CEST) | ::::Another update: Laser is working...sort of.

:::::Ahem, [http://geyser.oni2.net/edition/weapons/w12_ba2.zip HERE] is a version with possibly outdated laser particles, just to show my take on the rocket's mesh and UVs (the mesh probably needs to be translated a bit along Y so that it appears to exit from the barrel, but that's no big deal). Note that Oni's engine renders particles without a Z-buffer, so non-convex objects will look messy at some angles, and the more non-convex, the messier. There is no fix to that right now, but for fast-traveling projectiles this shouldn't pose a problem. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 20:00, 8 August 2008 (CEST) | |||
