[Cygnus X-1 12]

sweetness. Now do 50 overlords, then bomb them all with Auroras so we can see them go flying

[Dark_Kodiak 0]

n...o...

 

u do it if you wanna see that so much

 

im too tired

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Maybe. Comp might freeze though :lol:

 

Besides, I've got work to do. YR: Conflict of Interests grows ever closer to being completed, but I've still got a lot of work to do. Pics may even be coming soon

[Gaizokubanou 0]

meh, nuke spam is so tasteless j/k I rather watch my single most beutiful creation, afterall, quality > quantity BTW the nuke on my scr shot seems to push the sage engine to the limit, cause when I fire more then 2 of them the engine simply cannot produce enough particles to fully create all the nukes and yes I did change the maximum particle amount allowed in the INI files by at least tenfolds, so even more

 

BTW, if you check the particlesystem file, it has two nuke related particle systems that are unused by the Chinese nuke, let alone any nuke I think. They are named "NukeMushroomRingSmall" and "NukeMushroomRingInverted". Anyone know if those are used anywhere in the game?

[Acerz492 1]

"NukeMushroomRingSmall" could be used by the Nuke Cannon...meh, I dunno. I have no friggin' idea on how to edit the .INI files for Zero Hour. The only thing I would be interested in doing is seeing what cool colours I could make the beam for the Particle Cannon.

 

Random Question: Is the laser for the Paladin Tank an upgrade in some games? Or do people just think it is? Because in my game, and all of the games of Generals/Zero Hour I've played, the laser for the Paladin was never an upgrade and always came with the tank..yet I have seen people saying that it is an upgrade. Can someone clarify this for me?

 

Speaking of Paladin Tanks, here are my favourite ones (actually, the ones that luk3us used for my sig...See Dark Kodiak? I didn't steal your Paladins )

 

[Gaizokubanou 0]

Its not an upgrade, its what makes paladin tank a good tank.

 

Also the funny thing about those particlesystems I mentioned above is that they do not appear elsewhere in the entire INI(the nuke cannon's particle systems have NukeCannon in front of their name or so)... It's kinda interesting to see how much stuff the development team left in the game that are not being used in the final product

 

Also for your particleuplinkcannon...

And for those of you who seem to prefer sheer size/number

It can be bigger, but it just looks... too awkward.

 

If your desire for destruction is not satisfied by above...

Oh and if my nuke were to be viewed from regular angle...

Holy bejesus!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

thats all?

 

wanna try them on me?

 

competition eh?

 

well see about that eh?

 

gimme some time i have a SW so powerful it will crash the game instantly

 

something ORIGINAL :roll:

 

im thinking a......

 

i dont know yet....mebbe a...bomb truck? ill try it

[Gaizokubanou 0]

I already tried to have something so insane, that the game won't even compute it

 

The last particle cannon pic has beam radius of.... 5000 game distance(for comparison, unmodded nuke is about 210 radius) and all thanks to the spread damage of the beam, that was enough to kill everything on a 8 player map, regardless of where the beam was shot lol.

 

10000 radius one can be computed, but all you will see is white screen

 

at 1000000 radius, the game won't even compute the weapon, so nothing happens when you use it lol.

 

Another neat idea you can try is having artillery cannon shoot... enough shells lol that can cause some serious slowdown, but again, if you get enough shells the game won't try to render the shells nor their explosions lol.

 

The sage engine is pretty stable so I haven't seen it crash due to graphical issue yet(got 3.2 p4 prescott with 1000ram, 6800 gt... so if yours crash for graphical issue, it maybe hardware prob ). If the game knows the engine can't handle it, it just won't even give it a try lol its such a wuss engine.

 

Make sure you modify one of the INI files so that the maximum amount of particles that can exist is WAY higher then norm, otherwise you will see that sage engine will chicken out on some weak stuff.

 

Easiest way to "crash" the game is to change any color value to any number above 255 or below 0. That will cause a "Serious Error" and game won't even run lol(or any other synthex errors lol, afterall, what's more powerful then poorly coded super weapon!!?!)

 

Also since you mentioned creativity(although I think my colorful beams were way more creative ), i'll get somehting up very soon... soon.

 

EDIT: ok, here it is... its name is Thousand Human Barrage!

Again, for those of you who are not satisfied with the destruction in above...

 

I present you, 2500 Human Barrage!

looks like that guy aint doin the thing i told him to do...

 

i guess i should take over the world............................

 

stay tuned for screenshots of that :evilintent:

[Gaizokubanou 0]

I deleted my C&C generals a while ago while cleaning my PC for some reasons that I cannot fully explain.

 

Yes I've been slacking... forgive me Kodiack, for I've failed you!

 

Anyway I'm just in love with my new & first hdtv with very cheap source of dvd (5 dvds for $2.50 and after that 4 for $25.00 lol). Maybe after I get hospitalized from eating too much popcorn I'll get back to work

 

Edit: if you want to make the fire black, its pretty simple just mess around with the colors for fire effects in INI folder, the particlesystem file. I personally prefer purple nuke or green beam of peace over black fire, but well it's up to you.

 

And last time I checked, the firestorm system worked in a very strange way... I never got a hang of it but perhaps you can.

 

If anyone else wants to make the china's artillery fire any object of your choice, the plaes to edit are... objectcreationlist, weaponobject, chinamisc(not sure if you need to make any changes here), and any other files so you can find out the model name for the object of your choice. If you want to drop people like what I did, make sure you give them moving animation to the models because if you don't it'll look very strange. Sorry I can't give too much of specific infos all this is just coming from top of my head

[Guest MadBadger]

i guess i should take over the world............................

 

stay tuned for screenshots of that :evilintent:

 

*koff* umm when you do take over the world ummmm i kinda like chicago any chance of you alowing me a big house there? with you owning all land and all.
