So, yeah, sorry to belabor the point... but...

I tried putting your mod folder, the "WLd + bailknight_graphicmod_v1.2" folder, into the the mod folder. That's where the Adama repack mod folder is as well.

So as expected, when I started the game, I had the choice between your mod, and the Adama repack.... They did not 'merge'...

Just to make sure, you do realize that the Adama repack mod combines both Bailknights mod and the Sins Plus mod.... So I can't just replace it with you mod...

I am thinking that I will need to use the merge files....

Am I right?

Thanks,

Javaslinger

Give me a day or two and i'm gonna come out with 1.04b which has them merged. Maybe even today...

The reason why it is so noticable seems to be because the Beam is wider than the hit effect. So the cut off part of the beam cannot "hide" in the hit effect like Bailknight's beam and the vanilla one.

Does this make MP games difficult in terms of changed files etc?

Could I still go on ICO with this and play with people unmodded?

Nope.

In multiplayer games, all player needs the same game version and mod version.



Ah, today would be great. I could need it before I start a new 500 planet game.

I look forward to the Adama Repack with this mod.

the Kol's laser looks really good now    

This is indeed a very nice mod, and a great add-on to Bail's work   

Alot of great work went into the caps(marza and Kol comes to mind). I also love the new sheild effects   

Fantastic work on all the new Seige effects for each of the differnt factions.

There seem to be a few rough edges, some weapon impacts seem a little 2D or cut-off as has been mentioned(the flickering green laser that fires from the top of the vasari desolator is a prime example), and many of the lrms have toned down missle effects(I know that they are faster now).

Overall a great first mod though, keep up the good work Wild!

  

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep it in mind for the v1.1 release.

I'd appreciate more feedback if anyone is interested.
It helps me pick out problem areas so I can make a better mod.

Well if that’s the case then I suppose I can help nit-pick without feeling too guilty   

Here are just some of the things that could do with little improvement (IMO)

Missiles: for the most part these are only the standard Lrms and phase missiles I'm talking about (the marzas missile effects are bloody brilliant).

I notice that Vasari and TEC Lrms now fire in similar manner, a smaller missile moving at medium(vasari) to fast(TEC) speeds, with the same kind of exhaust trail( that "stiching" look, though it is much more apparant for TEC). It seems that the Vasari static defense missile platform also fires like a TEC LRM.

Some of the Vasari Cap ship weapons should also be re-evaluated, the flickering lasers that fire from the tops of the desolators and fronts of the marauders I have already mentioned, the Kortul’s beam weapon (which fires from the outsides of its “wings”) also produces no impact effects at all.

Although I love the TEC gauss platform, the Pirate one looks a little odd when it fires what looks like two barrels of yellow buckshot at my approaching ships.

Shields for the most part are great, but Advent's seems a bit dry if only for the white color, perhaps it could be changed to yellow or perhaps red? richsad has already commented on some of the problems presented by the Advent's beam weapons.

Well that’s all I can think of for now.

Once again this was purely for the purpose of constructive criticism, still loving your mod

Heh, thx.


I'm guessing you're talking about the missiles from the capital ships aside from the platform. I'll look at it. I have a few ideas.


I'm fixing all the beam weapons at the moment. I'm having a harder time with the Vasari ones due to the fact they have no persistent weapon hit effects that I know of. The game doesn't seem to want to trigger a hit impact graphic as often as I'd like. Ill figure something out.


I actually didn't mod the Pirates' stuff. I'll get them for the next release.
Glad you like the new TEC graphics on the gauss platforms though.




*Cough*

Good stuff!

I can't wait to give that new version a try when it is released.

  Ohhh, is that purple?

Mine dont look like that   

As for the missile stuff, I was refering more to the Vasari Kanrak Assailents and tec javelis.

Thanks.

I'm trying to collect feedback and sit on the new version for awhile so I can really get it nailed down and start on my other mod.

My other mod will be a balancing nightmare but if I can get it working properly it will rock.

Step 1. Make mods
Step 2. ????????
Step 3. Profit!!


P.S. It's hot pink. I think its pretty close to perfect for the Advent.

Out of curiosity, your next mod will be a game rebalancing one?

Or another graphics mod?

looking forward to version two!

EDIT:

I'm not sure if this is any at all helpfull (I'm no modder  ) but in Vanilla, the kortul's wing beams DO have hit effects, maybe you could just use those?
