HELP: Looking for new explosion/blood/smoke/... effects for Carmageddon 2 (Yfrid, please read).

Den John · Post by **Den John** » Thu May 31, 2012 11:41 pm

I am looking for new explosion/blood splatter/smoke/... effects.

There was a thread at CWA Board where Yfrid showed off his new effects, but unfortunately all links are dead.

Would love to see somebody (Yfrid himself?) upload these files again.

Link to CWA thread: https://www.cwaboard.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2095&p=84260&hilit=new+explosions#p84260

Thanks!

I should note that the FX pack on my site does not contain the exact visuals the OP is looking for.

^^Correct. I have already tried effects made by different people, but i'm looking for Yfrid's effects in particular (those from the CWA thread i posted).

Would be cool if somebody could help me get these.

I think I might have Yfrid's email somewhere. Let see if I can get in touch with him.

Heh, either I'm not paying attention or my short-term memory is gone...or both!

Hi fellas

I need help with editing some parameters in .wam file.

So, i want to make 2 level smashable headlights, like the windscreens on cars.

Normally, the headlights are only 1 level smashable parts, i show you:


FENDL          // actor
normal        // softness
detach        // crush type "boring" only dent,"detach" falls off, "flap" has a hinge
normal        // Ease of detachment  
normal        // Type  "normal","stubborn","fully_detach" 
box           // shape
1             // number of smashable textures

70HRNTHLR             // name of material                           
70HRNTheadL        // pixelmap to use when intact                
1				// Number of levels
0.002				// trigger threshold (default if zero)
0				// flags

	// Connotations:
	
	1				// number of possible sounds
	4520			// sound ID

	1				// Shrapnel count
	shards			// Shrapnel type
	0,0				// Min,max speed towards car
	1.0				// Impactee velocity factor
	10.0			// Random velocity (max)
	2.0				// Random up velocity (max)
	0				// Random normal velocity (max)
	100.0			// Random spin rate (max)
	0.75,1.25		// Min time, Max time
	0.005			// Min cut length
	0x01			// flags
	RLFRAG.MAT		// name of shrapnel material
	
	0										// Explosion size
	none									// Slick material
	0				// Number of non-cars activated
	0				// Radius of side-effect smashes
	0				// Extensions flags
	0				// Room turn on code
	none			// Award code
	0				// No run-time variable changes

1				// Number of pixelmaps
70HRNTheadLB	    // pixelmap to use when smashed

So, i created a .tif image, with a level 1 smashed headlight with the name 70HRNTheadS.tif

70HRNTheadL.tif and 70HRNTheadLB.tif are the original texture files for headlights.

Then i edited the .wam file:


FENDR          // actor
normal        // softness
detach        // crush type "boring" only dent,"detach" falls off, "flap" has a hinge
normal        // Ease of detachment  
normal        // Type  "normal","stubborn","fully_detach" 
box           // shape
1             // number of smashable textures

70HRNTHLR             // name of material                           
70HRNTheadL        // pixelmap to use when intact                
2				// Number of levels
0.002				// trigger threshold (default if zero)
0				// flags

	// Connotations:
	
	1				// number of possible sounds
	4530			// sound ID

	1				// Shrapnel count
	shards			// Shrapnel type
	0,0				// Min,max speed towards car
	1.0				// Impactee velocity factor
	10.0			// Random velocity (max)
	2.0				// Random up velocity (max)
	0				// Random normal velocity (max)
	100.0			// Random spin rate (max)
	0.75,1.25		// Min time, Max time
	0.005			// Min cut length
	0x01			// flags
	RLFRAG.MAT		// name of shrapnel material
	
	0										// Explosion size
	none									// Slick material
	0				// Number of non-cars activated
	0				// Radius of side-effect smashes
	0				// Extensions flags
	0				// Room turn on code
	none			// Award code
	0				// No run-time variable changes

1				// Number of pixelmaps
70HRNTheadS	    // pixelmap to use when smashed level 1
0.002			// trigger threshold (default if zero)
0				// flags

	// Connotations:
	
	1				// number of possible sounds
	4520			// sound ID

	1				// Shrapnel count
	shards			// Shrapnel type
	0,0				// Min,max speed towards car
	1.0				// Impactee velocity factor
	10.0			// Random velocity (max)
	2.0				// Random up velocity (max)
	0				// Random normal velocity (max)
	100.0			// Random spin rate (max)
	0.75,1.25		// Min time, Max time
	0.005			// Min cut length
	0				// flags
	SCRN4		// name of shrapnel material
	
	0										// Explosion size
	none									// Slick material
	0				// Number of non-cars activated
	0				// Radius of side-effect smashes
	0				// Extensions flags
	0				// Room turn on code
	none			// Award code
	0				// No run-time variable changes

1				// Number of pixelmaps
70HRNTheadLB			// pixelmap to use when smashed level 2

But its not working. I have no idea whats wrong with my editing.

Can you guys help me?

You can change those thresholds, both are now set to 0.002 but for different levels you might need different threshholds. try 0.0005 for the first and 0.002 for the second.

If that does not help, try changing the first flag from 0 to 1.

If that does not help it must be a naming thing, the other settings seem fine... So either your material identifier in plaything is different, or the bitmaps it uses are not spelled correctly?

Hi Harmalarm!

Thank you for the reply. At the weekend a try to make some maintenance, then i tell you what happened with that headlight.

By the way, this is not my addon car, this is Autopilot's 1970 AMC Hornet. I just want to do some "experiments" with these breaking levels.

Edit:

It's working! Harmalarm, thank you very much. You were right. I changed the threshold value.

Yeah, I'm still surprised it was never added to be honest. It really adds a lot more to the damage model :/

Exactly metal does not shorten it bulges out.
