| Post subject: | Nuclear Mushroom Cloud effects in FA... |
I have found a way to add a large mushroom could into FA for use with a nuclear weapon... Its only at test stage right now, but it works (to a dgree that is)... When the could forms, the frame rate goes super slow... I have to find out what I need to do to the graphics to decrease frame rate effects, or it will destabilize the sim... The cloud is huge for FA... Its really only 2 dimensional, but it has 4 sides, so from survivable distance after the drop, it looks quite real... I will try to get a screenshot, but so far I have been unsuccessful do to destabilization of the game frame rate after the blast... But its close and I think I can solve this issue given enough time... CAG out... |

yep and coupled with the sun white out effect to simulate the blast and the emp effects should make a very convincing nuclear weapon... CAG out |

maybee try making the cloud art out of 1 or 2 shades of gray and see if that changes the fps prob at all. If so then go from there, if not then I guess it's just an animation problem. |

Great idea Kap, but I think it may be associated with the SIZE of the graphic... Perhaps I should reduce the number of stages in the animated segment of the explosion shape... The number of changes, because with each change the entire graphic has to rewrite itself... CAG out... |
