Obviously personal opinion but I think the waves should be a bit more defined, with less bluring. If thats ok?

Also got to say love your all your other work. Those pluse phaser textures are to die for.

Also how do you like a post I'd love to give you some likes too

This one has sharper waves, one thing to take into account is the effect model has the texture stacked on it self a few times over, that can leave a bit of a blurred effect

This looks amazing I'm just playing with the odf now, once it's working I'll zip it all up and let you play around give me about 20 minutes

Ok since I went past the 15 minute edit time limit:

# Thalaron Beam
wthalaron wthalaron 0 0 128 21 @anim=tex1x4

Put that in the weapon.spr

and add gposijam2.odf 0 and gthalaron.odf 0 to tech tree

The texture files are Wwavethal.tga for the wave and wthalaron.tga the beam (i've just been using place holder for now).

Alright i have your weapons installed, however when tested the wave weapon crashes when hitting another ship and the beam can't target other ships, at least on my install, you also have the wrong .ORD name for the beam weapon or a missing file for that weapon

Sorry for my late reply my PC crashed, Sorry about that, that's the right ord file so that should fix the beam now. Not sure why the wavecrashes though. Does the wave crash the game if it doesn't hit a ship?

Sorry I don't mean to keep spaming your thread, this will fix it if you put it in weapon.spr

Both need to be under @reference=128 (assuming your textures are that size so you'll need to adjust according).

# Thalaron wave
wwavethal wwavethal 0 0 128 21 @anim=tex1x4

If you don't mind if you could post the texture files I could see if it works on my end?

That is a seriously sweet texture effect. Nice work.

Drayzon I can't thank you enough with the textures I just feel bad I could bring more to the file. Anyway I've attached the version that should work its got your textures in it and my poor attempt at buttons which I'm happy to change if you can make something better. Let me know if it all works on your end.

Now I've just got to make a cool looking ship to fire it. Time like this I wish I was a better 3d model maker.

Don't know if i am missing something or not, but i don't have the ability to upload files larger than 4mbs, any help on this would be great as that is currently whats holding up the upload of the finished texture set

Here's Drayzon's textures. I'll let him submit the file to the Resources section when he's able so he'll be attributed properly.

These are absolutely gorgeous. I have plans to add a Thalaron weapon to one of the Tavara refits in Tryptic's Mod, is there any possibility I could use the green one you were posting in this thread?

Tryptic, you really need to call your mod what it needs to be, FO4 lol, unless there is a FO4 in the works from another modder?

Drayzon, love your work! What's next on the list?
