New Warp Effect

Post by FinalFrontier »

Hi all! :)

I made a new warp effect. This time it is very smooth, you can not see any repeated shapes. It is a wobbling spiral warp effect.

How to Install: Unzip the file into your Evochron Mercenary main directory.

Download here: https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D7075577_790_081889203

UPDATE 29.04.2013: Works now with the latest Evochron Mercenary version.

Looks cool :)

offtopic warning!!
I'm kinda wondering if it would be possible to make star wars -like warp effect, something like this.

I assume the warp effect is just a texture warped onto a cylinder, so it could be a challenge to make it look like "stretched star lines".

BUT DO WANT! :)

:cool: Somehow, that warp effect looks perfect when combined with the cockpit mod. The two seem to go together.

:o Congratulations. Of all the warp FX I've ever seen, this is the first time I've felt like I was back on the roller-coaster in Santa Cruz.

Hey, I tried around a bit and eventually could create a warp effect that looks like this:

I hope it meets your taste. I tried to keep it close to your picture. If you're (or also others) are interested in that effect then I'll upload it and distribute the download to my warp-effects-thread and also in this one (if that's okay with FinalFrontier).
But be aware, that for now I only have that one effect for "normal" jumps, so maybe I still need to create a similar one (maybe a red version of this) for the jumpgate effect.
Just let me know, if somebody's interested ;)

:cool: Cool. Reminds me of spectral reflections on water sprayed across a beam of sunlight. Tiny little rainbow bullets.

Looks awesome Scavenger, please share it!

Already done, my friend :)
You can find it in my warp effects thread on page 2: http://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6895

In case you just want specifically that Star Wars-like effect, here's a direct link to the post in my thread: http://www.starwraith.com/forum/viewtop ... #pid139587

Have fun!
