Blue to Red

[raise]

Can someone help me get this to go from blue to red, so far i can only get it to go from blue to pink/blue.
What I want is from blue to red yellow. (mimic renk's)

play with the numbers after red and blue.
something like this:

weapon/rocket/trail
{
shader flareshader
color .1 0.2 .7
distance .7
{
emitter .05
{
size 7-lerp*3
red red+lerp*1
blue blue-lerp*1
colorFade 0
sprite cullNear
}
}
}

Renk´s rocket fire trail is made using blue fire and red fire. Blue fire next to rocket and red fire some distance after. This is made using "normalize dir v0" and "addScale origin v0".

I dont know if this guy is right or not, haven't tried this because I like my rocket trail as it is, but maybe you can try it.

Sth like this (tested with wolfcamql 9.2):


weapon/rocket/trail
{
   shader    flareshader
   
//You get normalized vector reprezenting direction of the rocket. This way its possible for you to control the distance between the projectile and
//the flames behind it by moving the origin(starting) point in the direction opposite to the rocket.
   normalize dir v0
inverse v0

   distance 1
   {
color 0 0 1 //blue

       emitter 0.01
       {
           size    1
           colorFade 0
           sprite    cullNear
       }
       
       addscale origin v0 origin 5 //there you're moving the origin point by 5 units in the opposite direction of the rocket.
       color 1 0 0 //red

        emitter 0.01
       {
           size    1
           colorFade 0
           sprite    cullNear
       }

       addscale origin v0 origin 5 //and again.
       color 1 0.5 0 //yellow

       emitter 0.01
       {
           size    1
           colorFade 0
           sprite    cullNear
       }
   }
}

Add some randomness,velocity and wobble it a bit to get awesome results
I think the key is to merge rEnk's and this guy's idea together (so do the blue flame first then the orange/yellow flame moved by some distance with lerped colors). GL.
Flaws I get with these trails are huge fps/timescale dependancies, and fps drops, thats why I dont like them. Instead I like to play more with shaders/textures, with possible better results overall since animating is super easy, fps/timescale independant and barely eats any resources

Could you do me a favour and upload somewhere your rocket projectile model, or atleast tell me where did you get it? I really like it. Thanks in advance.

nice work! now create some custom shaders for the rocket trail and it will look really cool.

I made my rocket trail as I posted before. Of course my code is more complex with some randomness in it. But I did it with changing the color of the sprite.

The rocket model is from a quake mod called openarena
You can download it from here: www.openarena.ws/download.php

Didin't know that, sorry for missunderstanding
Nontheless you did some great work. Waiting for some new awesome stuff from you

Thanks for the mod, will play with it a bit.

good work, now try something original, maybe it'll look awesome? Custom shaders may work aswell.

What is your email I may be able to help and I also have some questions about some stuff.
or go on IRC #moviemaking

Updated with my own shaders

It needs more density in the flame start part IMO

problem though when I try at timescale 1 it looks messed up I think I'm going to need to mess with the fx intervals etc or scrap the code and make a new one

[dulu]

i don`t know why you want to "repair" timescale issue, when this script looks good in every cl_aviframerate and blurframes. you just can enable script at the moment, when you start capturing video.

but if this is very important, check this:

pastebin.com/vbVzhhCB

this is script modified by brugal, it have a modified trail from legless fx.

Brugal make something with it, and now this script don`t make fps issue (when you don`t record, looks bad), but when you recording - looks well

Check this out and compare with your fx, maybe there is a solution of your problem

sorry for english ;|

[raise]

I don't use legless' code, the code above is not even close to what I use anymore plus I have custom shaders that need more repetitions than legless'.
(Code is not going to be available)

[dulu]

i was sure that this is legless modification. sorry ;|
