Richard Morgan Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 Has anyone got around to remodelling the stupendously crappy circular puff of beige gunsmoke that occurs every time anything larger than a rifle is fired? If so, could they please tell me where I can download it from. If not, COULD SOMEONE PLEASE GET AROUND TO DESIGNING SOMETHING BETTER. There are some excellent CMBO graphics around and I'm afraid that the current gunsmoke animation stands out like the proverbial bulldog's bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 Now I always thought describing something as the "dogs bollocks" meant that it was "Sierra Hotel" or outstanding. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Morgan Posted July 15, 2001 Author Share Posted July 15, 2001 You are quite correct... however, bollocks du chien in bulldog context means that something stands out very clearly - like a beer mat on a billiard table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Morgan Posted July 15, 2001 Author Share Posted July 15, 2001 Rune... Thanks for that! Perhaps the designers should consider a patch!!! Let us all pray that they come up with something better for CMBB :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goanna Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 It's also a matter of opinion. I kinda like how it looks now and remember being very impressed with how it looked when I first saw it (coupled with the screen shake). Hardly crappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipanderson Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 Hi, I think the gun flash looks OK. However, I confess I am not very “artistic” so am not a good judge. All the best, Kip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 Interesting to know if BTS is planning to hardcode CM2's muzzle-flash graphics too. Hopefully BTS can give the very competent modmakers on this Forum some "credit" by not hardcoding this so that 'em boys can tinker further under the hood. :cool: Kind regards, Charl Theron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 The muzzle flash and screen shake were selling points for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russellmz Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 i forgot to ask about that! for 1204-1206.bmp there are muzzle flash only flame pics. i was wondering if anyone had better ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Morgan Posted July 16, 2001 Author Share Posted July 16, 2001 I seem to be outvoted here. However, for an example of the sort of thing I would like to see, simply look at the opening movie/animation in Talonsoft's Westfront. I DO like the camera shake though, and yes, let's hope that the CMBB firing animations are not hard coded. Thank you all for your opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 If you see video of a tank firing in either dusty or humid conditions there is a shockwave that travels out from the muzzle blast. How exactly would one improve the CM animation of this? More transparent? Dissipates more quickly? I can't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
