was wondering if yous thought it would be ok to have smokey / dusty effects after explosions, the bigger the explosion the bigger the effects. like how in the show when they fire a projectile or something at the ground there is heaps of dust going around and they ahve to wait for the dust to clear to c the person. it could lag heaps though ;/

The smoke part would lag to much, what about using the sprites from swooping and putting it on the edges of the explosion when it expands. LIke you shoot a kame at the floor, and the explosion expands and there is dust twirling around the explosions edges.

People are always confusing lag with fps.
Adding smoke effects will NOT MAKE THE GAME LAG.
It will slow down your frame rate if you're on a lower end computer.
I'm not sure if the team will b adding in more smoke effects, but if they do it will definately come with a client side cvar

I think that part of the explode spirit should be the dust and not another part of the explode this way it wont lag so much

eh ... have you ever seen dusttrails (from swooping) ??? that would be the smaller form of dust from explosions ...
I ordinary have 60 fps in cell maps ... and if I see someone swooping above ground my fps go to 3 ... then I think every explosion you see, you would have 0-1 fps with your PC ... and you really want these dusts ???
even a high-end-pc would lose half of it's fps if every explosion would cause dusts ...
eaz ... I think you have to talk to Gohan ssj 4 ... just meet him at http://forum.esforces.com/showthread.php?t=32363 ... browse the forum before you make new threads

If you have a computer it will work with no problem but try to avoid servers with more than 8 ppl because think of all of them beam spamming and all the dust affects after it. It will eat up the fps really fast.

How's about they add it, but make it so you can turn it on/off so that those of us with nice whizzy computers can enjoy it?

Of Topic:
I find it strange, because when I only goto threads that I never viewed before, so ether I got some weird error that said this was a new post, or I'm really spacing.

Really Offtopic:
Can I host your german sound pack on esfstuff?

On topic:
I still say this is a good idea as long as it gets it own cvar.

ETC:

Why don't the light-grey posts show the date, while the dark grey ones do?

It does, but its showed at the bottom of the dark-grey post(above your name).

On-Topic: I thinks its a good idea to be able to turn those 'extras' on/off:yes:
