Re: TAC Nuke Corp. - Updated 4/18/09
I don't know...The old explosion is less eye-raping, less laggy, and looks better.
When people say animated mushroom cloud, they were expecting one that 'grows', not just appear and shines with radiation. That really is too much to ask for, but the current cloud doesn't work well either.
My suggestion is use the old cloud sprite, then put...3 radiating coulds at the bottom of the nuke's explosion, spread-out manner, to imitate a large blast radius on the ground.

Re: TAC Nuke Corp. - Updated 4/18/09
I was actually waiting for a post like that, so I was thinking of something while I was in my scenario class (The most boring class ever created in college). I could make an emitter version (The 1.0 version) and a static version (The 0.9 version, also the old nuke.) so ppl could choose which one they like the most and all that stuff.
I won't make it right now, I have to go to college in like, 10 minutes but it should be pretty easy to do because of the way I made my code.
I keep in mind that blast radius on the ground for both nukes.

Instead take the static version and place some smoke/rad emitters at the feet of the static nuke explosion. That way it will lag less, look MUCH better and save the trouble of 2 seperate nukes/downloads.

Re: TAC Nuke Corp. - Updated 4/18/09
Is there any command to stop the MOSRotatings from decaying when they hit the ground?

Re: TAC Nuke Corp. - Updated 4/18/09
Try "restthreshold = -500" and some material like "Military Stuff" or "Mega Metal"

Thanks a lot, it works perfectly! I'll soon be trying to find more time to work on my nuke but for now, I'm off.

If you find that blasts get blocked by the gibs sometimes, make it so that the nuke gibs cannot be hit by MOs.
