Cap. projectile effect ideas for the future - Syrus - 10-13-2013
I'll just make a short list of some ideas, don't have the proper time to write some big entry as I normally do and most people don't read text walls anyway. :/
1st: Mortars.
Using the old effects with the new effects' colors and explosion.
Or even make faction-mortars with the old effects, recolored for every faction that has mortars?*
2nd: Primaries and secondaries
Using the vanilla effects for the primaries. Somehow they just had a nostalgic feel to them. I miss them, to be honest. The new effects are nice and all, but just not as Freelancer'ish.
3rd: Cerberus / Heavies
Using the new Primary turret projectile effects for new faction "Cerberus" / Heavy turrets instead.
* In vanilla guns had an effect template and would just be recolored by an .ini file (beam_effects.ini) as I understand it. Maybe such would be possible for that as well?
(Heh, maybe I'm just a nostalgic, but such small stuff slowly takes away from the vanilla feeling for a cap-lover...)

To be honest I dont remember well how capguns looked like in vanilia since... we as players were not able to use them.

.85 still had the vanilla effects, they were changed in .86.

Post screenshots of projectiles, I still dont know the difference.
