My next mod will be Deathblow. In it I'm trying to add a chance on death for units to do various things. They're listed here.



It actually already is the same graphic believe it or not. :/
I think it's another rate of fire issue.

Quick update: I've made some more changes to the Kol's Beam'0'Death after staring at it for a couple hours.
Beam'0'Death v3.0
Evil Laser look achieved.




Beam'0'Death v4.0
A few more half awake hours later...




I also made a nice discovery about beam graphic animation out of pure stupidity. They're going to look a lot better in the next version.

From what I have seen, I think I will wait for the next version, as you have had much feedback and your new screens look good. I can't wait until it comes out, then I can merge it with 7 DEADLY SINS.

Good move. I'm up to Kol Beam'0'Death v5.0 now. Its very cool.
I'm 'hoping' it will be done in the next week. There are a few ships giving me some troubles. *cough*progenitor*cough*

I'm keeping track of all the files I've changed again. So it'll be very, very easy to merge when it's done.

Thanks for keeping an interest in my mod.

Too many damn awsome graphical mods , ahhhh.... Keep up the good work

What exactly did you find out? I'm trying to mess with beams to look more like the ones seen in stargate. I.E. they don't just disappear when done firing. They travel, in a sense, so that the end of the beam hits the enemy ship instead of going away almost instantly. I'm curious to see what you found out and if it might help.

This mod is awsome!

Now my question is. can someone merge "WLd + bailknight_graphicmod_v1.2" with SINS PLUS?

that would just be candy!

Plz reply or PM if you could do this. Thanks

Danman is more than likely working on a merger. I did the poormans buy jamming the directories together, and it resulted in a mini dump 3 min in, so I failed.

Well I do that a merge of these two are in the works. Personaly I have no skill at merging files, however I did get a niffty program called "compare it" (I think the sins plus guy said he uses this in his .nfo file) But I have no idea how to use or which "stuff" is the right one to merge. .

Try setting the beam to 3 bursts with at least a .4s delay.

Thanks for the suggestion, but didn't work for me. I'm looking for something like this:

D'oh! I'll let you know if I find something :/

Ha. Thanks. That would really help out a lot in making our mod closer to the Stargate universe.

-I don't want to keep bothering you, but you're obviously pretty awesome at editing particle files. I've just started messing with them. Do you have any idea how to create a hyperspace exit effect. One that would appear a few seconds before the ship entered the gravity well and then the ship would travel through it much like the charge up and entrance. I've been messing with the effect for a while now and haven't gotten anything I like. But don't go out of your way to figure that out. Just a suggestion would do. Thanks.

Maybe that guy has an idea.

P.S. I have no clue how to edit anything. I'm just playing in Bailknight's sandbox.

Awesome mod, can't wait for the next version.

Also, for the Stargate style beams: Having literally no SoaSE modding experience, I can't say if this will work here, but I did this to fake a beam of that sort a while back. Rather than keeping a "beam" class weapon, use a mass driver(or whatever they're called here) that fires really, really fast. Make the projectiles leave a trail as well. This way, the shots look like a beam. As I said, no clue if this will work here too.
