It's an older code, Sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear it.

Done.

Easy to set the frame rate now... Works on any and all particle systems.

WHOO!

Gil: Hmm - that's actually a great deal trickier than you might expect. :/ I'll see what I can do. Everything is one material right now, and I'm not sure how I'd go about controlling the dither...oh, wait, duh - I use one of the vertex color channels. Okay, Vertex color comes in R G B and A - so far I've been using RGB for AO and A for outline width - I really only need one channel for AO, so...R will be AO, G will be dithering levels, and B will be???  ...Let's make B self-illumination. Yeah, that'll work. I'm still re-writing the shader to have better lighting, so this will be a good chance to put that stuff in.
Cherno: Yes! ...I don't exactly know what you mean - frames per image? effectively the particle effects texture is procedural - it uses a complex mask system. I can speed up how fast the frames animate?

I can also lengthen the particle's lives as seen here:

Ai: Yep, correct. otherwise, I can't see if the effect is working. Also, the effect looks pretty cool on the drive flares.

Conceit: hahah, yep! That's the thought. it's definitely pretty cool. Here're the ambient occlusion/shadow bias values for the fighter.


Nirel: Thanks! I really do want to put this on some Env art. Sooon.
