Thanks, I hope the code is more or less clear since I did not take the time to comment further than where a new effect starts.

However, here's a new effect, a light beam inspired by Final Fantasy's Bahamut:

- Lightbeam
- "supporting lightsource"
- simple particles that are "burst away"
- impact flashs
- fast panel-based screen flashs

- use "i" to activate the effect

Sweet, when you turn it horizontally, it's like one of those Dragonball z powerblasts hahaha .. Thanks for sharing,

Edit: aah, by the way, an effect as powerful as this one should make the screen tremble as if there's an earthquake!

Cheers

These effects are all very nice! Thanks for sharing.

smells good the burned grass

thanx, mercuryus

r u going to share some secret on how you are doing them?

Sure.

Well everything is in the code, but if things are not clear just ask.

The most important things are:
- Make effects fast (so that it's hard to see how they are made)
- Sprites to create a "blurry mass"
- tga textures with those settings:
MY.BRIGHT = ON;
MY.TRANSPARENT = ON;
MY.ALPHA = 0 to 100;
MY.UNLIT = ON;
MY.NOFOG = ON;
MY.AMBIENT = 100;

Good morning guys!

The next two effects are finished, one improved:
1st - Volumentric Light
2nd - Stone-spell-effect
3rd - Light-effect improved

Volumentric Light:
- Uses a shader to create smooth edges even while shifting the texture coordinates.

Stone-spell:
- Dust effect using tga sprites
- Animated Stone models
- Emitting small stones like the ice effect does with ice shards

- press "u" to activate the effect

Man Shore...you 're doing great stuff here! Thanks for contributing so nicely

Keep 'em coming

Die Effekte gefallen mir echt gut.

Ich werde mal versuchen (wenn ich soweit bin) ein paar davon in mein Spiel einzubauen

Keine Ahnung, ob ich das hinkriege, aber ich hoffe es doch mal.
