WLd Mod

First mod; be kind :P

Published on April 18, 2008 By Lost_WLd In Sins Modding

This is a maligned graphic mod I've been working on over the past year or so. I've rebuilt it quite a few times and am doing so again for the Entrenchment Expansion. I hope to actually finish it this time around.

I'm currently working on the TEC effects. Unfortunately this modding thing is still new to me, so its taking me a little while to turn out new particle effects.

Thanks to Annatar for answering my mod questions.

Feedback is appreciated.

It'll still be a little bit. I'm just fine tuning all the TEC effects right now to make sure they're not using too many particles.

The next race on the to do list is the Vasari.

Nope. I still have to redo all their weapon effects with the Particle Forge to reduce the number of particles in their animations. They were using way too many resulting in a noticeable slowdown.

Once again though, I have a few days off from work this week and should get a lot done.

Any plans to change Vasari Plasma waves? Because they're probably my least favorite looking projectile in the game.Yes actually. I'm trying to make them look like a green Tron disc Here was my first attempt and what is currently in

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1035x913 and weighs 42k.It starts as the green ring, then the outer part winds up and keeps spinning.Dunno if I like it though. :/ Think I'm going to try again.

I LOVE this effect.

I'm still on the fence about it. :/
I'll to put together another version to see if it turns out better while using less particles. I'll keep the current one on the back-burner though.

I'm hoping to at least get the TEC finished and most of the Vasari effects conceptualized this week, but we'll see what happens.

so I just downloaded your mod on rapidshare. Which version will I have???

How does modding work exactly? I just bought the game and I also thought the weapon effects needed reworking, can someone help me here?

edit: nvm the post, I just read the readme file in your zip document... great work!

everything's working great so far! I love all the effects! The only minor complaint I would have is for the Vasari Marauder: The green beam doesn't seem to have any kind of impact effect on the ship it is fired upon. Besides this... great work!

All the impact effects have been fixed in the new version.

I'm working hard between shifts at work to finish it.
I truly hope the old version looks like utter crap when I release the new one.
