(outdated) Advanced Weapon Customizing Techniques

[Arcalane]

You can't.

Another question: Why hasn't this been stickied?

EDIT: By the way, I would like some clarity on the bubble shield thingie. I don't think that I'm doing it properly.

Code: Select all

section|spr_DooNoise|-1|16777215|10|337.35|0|17.90|27.40

There's the string, if it helps.

Another question: Why hasn't this been stickied?

it's because Arcalane created that wonderful index of shipbuilding threads, and that has a link to threads like this.

on a similar topic, I would like a rule clarification here. It is generally accepted that the necro rule doesn't apply to stickied threads, but does it also not apply to these info threads, since they are still relevant?

be more specific about exactly what bubble shield effect you want. there are several different varieties.

If this is the one I use, you can either have one huge section, or several smaller sections which seems to work better. I think basically a doonoise section, colored near black, aegised near black. Hp of the section can range from under 100 for stock battles to 1000 which gave out after a few salvos from the Sword of Satan...
example:
section|spr_DooNoise|-1|263172|500|3234.54|-45|-39.50|26.50
section|spr_DooNoise|-1|263172|500|5370.91|0|98.10|110.90
thats just the D'haran version.

This really isn't advance at all, but I made a flar out of a pulsar. I haven't seen or heard of this being used efore, here it is anyways.

Code: Select all

weapon|Pulsar|180|1|25|-1|1|-1|250|360|10||255|50|50|0|-1|-1|30|1|1

[Noctis]

First of erins I think does qualify as advanced but the second? not so much. Its just a pulsar with an edited a few variables edited and overlayed on a megabeam. If the pulsars spread over the length of the beam entirely then it would be good but as it is the beam is superfluous and the pulsar thing has been done before, by me personally and others.

First one is awesome though

[BoVinE]

Lets all stop bitching about whether it's advanced and only post multistring weapons.

Ladies and gents,I present to you a successful emulation of a Half-Life 2 Episode 2 Autogun in BSF.

Code: Select all

Arrange it like this...

Tested against IVL gunships.Very entertaining to watch.

[ianfreddie07]

I had to bump this.

Can anyone help me on how to make an "energy blade" type of weapon?

The concept is kinda like a close combat, high density plasma blade that you can use to run through ships like a hot knife through butter. I think the ShockBeamer or the Megabeam is suited for this. But I don't know what to set.

[D00D!]

Not much luck with making a proper blade weapon, I can only think of 2 ways though.

1st:
Make a 'lightsaber' handle, then make a small beam that shoots out at close range, not very realistic but its worth a try.

2nd;
Make an actual blade then add itty-bitty weapons (I use pulse) at close range and shooting at ridiculous speed using black projectiles.

Another super-beam

Uses 3 megabeams, posting instructions in a few hours.

Like anyone will even need or want instructions. No offense but that looks like a half-assed lightsaber. That is to say, it looks ugly. The beam, not the ship.

We already have plenty of these. Instructions are not necessary.

[Wired]

Sorry, my bad, thought it looked at least decent.

[crazycatX27]

This is my plasma beam, I don't know if it has been done before but it acts like a slow laser with an explsion at the end


Here is the code
Plasma beam

[Samick]

Need a little help? I'm making an Ori mothership from stargate (aka the toilet bowl ship) and I'm trying to work out how to get the main super weapon to fire like in the show this is what I have so far,

How would I make it so that the Tacyon explodes on impact with a ship cause at the moment it just bounces of deflectors.
