A little eyecandy idea about debris effect of arty

[ozgurak87]

I just realized that wherever an artillery shell land, its only a white smoke that springs up(mostly).It seems too "clean" to me for a blowing up animation of an arty round. I think that effect must include more earth(especially),grass,wood splinters, dust from concrete etc. according to material that the shell lands.
What do you guys think about my humble little idea that i had when i woke up in bed this morning?

It would be great, definatley. But i would imagine it would cause quite a bit of slowdown/strain on the server if its going to be pretty detailed like you described.

also would be good please if it leave a crater! or if not crater than "black earth" (decal texture)

It's an engine limitation. Your best bet is RO on UE3 engine.

I wish WWII games would become real before I die.

No, i mean not real particles. Pff the server would friggin crash!!!. What i mean is just revorked arty blowups, even darkening up a little bit the color of that white cloud that springs up would be good. Actually explosions in MOHAA came into my mind when i started the thread. I think those were just sprites but looked real good even at that time. You see what i mean? What i fancy about is just revorked animation.

We could also have particles without too much hassle. Those don't have to break off of ingame struktures. The could simply be spawned like the smoke puffs. A few pieces of stone/debris/pebbles/dirt would definately be cool to see. It should be done for grenades too.

I've been pulling for the addition of concussion waves myself.

then you would probably die, cause they are TO real.



be cautious with what you ask for
