Engine Thrusters, Trails and Debry
05/09/2006
Thrusters and Trails
One of the things I had originally wanted to include in Basewars is thrusters and trails for NPC ships. The idea would've been that each NPC engine had a "cone" thruster, which is basically an animated texture. Sadly I forgot to include it when buiding the models, so to include it would require going back to redo them (which is quite irritating)! Second, engine trails - Basically just energy sparks/energy flames that would spew from NPC engines over a very short distance. The problem with this is both CPU and Mutliplayer lag, so it won't be included in multiplayer. However, if a good setup can be found, then I will create trails for the single player version.
Debry
Ships don't leave debry or break apart, mainly because it's Multiplayer. Laggggg! However, plans have been made to "break apart" some of the ships in the single player level, so when they explode, they'll explode in pieces until eventually going up in flames. This would probably only apply to large ships or objects.
