New smoke effect

[bongboy1]

We need this now 

[The Fugitive]

no disrespect intended to Ranger, but I'm pretty sure HTC could make similarly improved explosions themselves if they wanted to

they just haven't done so yet, for whatever reason

For the same reason they are not making new maps and skins. They are busy doing other things that they feel are more important. to the game.

While I'm a big fan of Rangers work, you have to admit it really doesn't matter "what" the explosion looks like, but that it blows up.

On the other hand, I don't know how much trouble it would be to add the stuff that Ranger makes. I would like to think that if Hitech gave Ranger the parameters that he needs to work with in, and Ranger was willing to sign off all of his stuff as a "labor of love" I don't see way HTC wouldn't let him do a bit of the small things like smoke and explosions.

You guys seem to be forgetting the time spent on the updated goon and jeep.

I've made the offer.  We'll see where it goes.  Right now it's just me having some fun.

I agree with coombz.  HT did take notice to this thread.  He even gave me some tips and info that I needed with the smoke.  Maybe he'll put some of this type of stuff on their to-do list.  We'll see.  In the mean time, we are planning on using some of this stuff in some AvA terrains just to try it out.

Very nice Ranger! I would enjoy seeing your efforts in game. 

Over the years I have learned that HTC always has multiple burners going.
What is moved to a front burner and turned on high, or to the back burner to simmer, or turned off, depends on multiple variables that are not always clear to customers.

Or the epic fails like CT.Was on high heat then ..... well just ,then.But i also cant wait to see what  Rangers efforts look like once there in game somewhere.

Imagine trying to takeoff or land in this mess.   I think I need to shrink it down some.

Smoke looks awesome. The candle....not so much. But then that's not your fault.
