Very, very nice model, Raa.

I like the impact explosion effects...where do I get them and what file(s) do I need to replace if I want to add something myself?

Ah guests - we love 'em...

Actually, I'm pretty sure those're standard FS2 explosions, possibly with lightspeeds upgrades applied (though that just means they only explode at LOD1 all the time AFAIK). That said, I don;t think they're the standard impact explosion, so Raa (or someone anyway) has probably been playing around with the tables.

As for putting your own in, you'll need to save the explosxion in ani format (obviously - use Google Anibuilder if you don't already have it) and into the data/effects folder, then, if you want to make a weapon impact explosion, edit it into weapons.tbl and weapons_expl.tbl, or ships.tbl if you just want to insert something for when your ship blows up (those tables are pretty easy to modify, guides for the last two can be found here http://www.3dactionplanet.com/hlp/hoste ... vptut.html).

That should be all you need...I think.

Arg...forgot to log in befor posting..man I should do somehting about this...

Thanks for the tips.

PS: Link dosn't work for me.

Fix the link, Black Wolf. It has something in the end that doesn´t belong there. The ). bit.

More to the point, it's hosted on HLP, which still isn't back up.

Hosted files are all intact. I've been using my TVWP ftp account the entire time, it's not on the dynamic servers.

To answer gevatter Lars' question, those are Lightspeed's upgraded explosions. I'm not fond of the change to the flak, which is what you're seeing there, but ship explosions look nice enough.

You can find all of those on Milliways.

is BW's link, because people seem to be too lazy to remove a parenthasis and a period.

Ah I found the explosion...but its so small that it can't be the same...when I use it its so pixelig.
For some rease its used for the Maxim...well at least in my database ^_^

nice sobek raa!!! but whats with the little swirlys on hte hull? theyre orange...

That's lighting off the nebula... I think.

Yep. The shivan hasn't done proper environment mapping for it yet.

Don't worry, on Lighy/Shivan's website, he says that he's completed the textures for all FS1 ships (with the exception of those not used in FS2) and will start on FS2 textures next. I'm hoping that he still plans on doing the rest of the FS1 ships.

Perhaps once he's done. Anyway, he's said he would redo the Sobek textures, once the model is finished, to do it justice.
