Did not know if anybody would want this?

notes-

1) Beam weapons excluding phasers given a bolt like effect. (comit appearence.)
2) Area weapons given a wave like appearance. (ocean ripple like effect)
3) Ion weapons given a static like effect. (added monochromatic noise to ion png)
4) Railguns given a bullet motion like effect. (motion trail behind railgun png)
5) torpedo weapons given a plasma ball like effect. (original torp png spirled and enlarged.)
6) Missles have a plasma torch exhaust effect.
7) Wave weapon added color depth and motion like effect.

tried to add image to this post.

"Copy of Venator!!" Modification skills "A+". Naming convention skills "F."

The Area weapon effect is snazzy.

weapons.rar

Rar format.

WinRar extract to:
C:\Matrix Games\Distant Worlds\images\effects\weapons\weapons

The Copy (exp. torpedo_2 - Copy.png) is the original stock game png. If you don't like the new png - torpedo_2.png For exp, delete it, and rename torpedo_2 - Copy.png to torpedo_2.png. And your back to the original stock game png.

Have fun.

I am sure a bullet air trail is not really serious in a space without ... well air.

I think it depicts motion blur quite nicely. Nothing to do with disruption of air as far as I can tell.

Nice job, msnevil. [:)]

After playing with this mod quite a bit I must say that this is definitely the best weapon graphics mod to come out in a while!

Revised, Blured\blended some of the images a bit, some of the images were standing out too much agianst the background. Also removed some stray arty farts, ie stray artifacts.

I attempted to see if more colors added would look like, but with such a small resolution, it tended to blend in too much or even distort the coloring somewhat. And i prefer the anagram kiss, ie keep it simple stupid.

The one who needs complitmented is Erik for the increased resolution added via the legends add on, and the guy who made all those cool ships. My photoshop skills consist of glowing balls of fart gas vrs a mint condition "Venator". My compliments to them and thier work.

You can think Woodman for the new ship art, it is gorgeous, but I do have to say that the old weapon effects look silly compared to the new ship art. So thanks to you are still in order! [:)]
