Thinking of changing the fireball's material.
Also includes a sexy explosion sound effect.[/QUOTE]
Use the fluidexplosion texture from TF2 or L4D2:

0:35 in you can see the texture.
that looks way slower than the speed of sound to me :colbert:

I'm kind of trying to avoid using vanilla textures because they are too recognizable.
Though I do plan on trying to make an animated texture for the fire.
(By the way, nobody happens to know how to make a working sprite sheet for source would they?)
[QUOTE=ShukaidoX;27145716]The explosion kind of lingers for awhile, don't you think?[/QUOTE]
Also, addressing this, it lingers because, to be honest, it's awfully boring when it goes faster. I've been testing things out and it just doesn't look quite as visually exciting.
In my opinion, games these days have been making explosions with too much smoke and not enough fire.

[/QUOTE]
The tool (mksheet.exe) to make the sprite sheet textures is broken. Considering that the fluidexplosion texture is not vanilla (for HL2/SourceMods) and not used other than one cinematic part in L4D2, I think it's okay to use it.
Call of Duty explosions are nice. I like how the have actual animated explosions as well as the usual particles.
Just not the black ops one.

I agree. Especially the ones in Blops (except for the whole pixel thing) That's one of the reasons I wish sprite sheets worked, because then I could make stuff more like that.
[B]EDIT:
[/B]I mean, look how damn cool these would look if they weren't so pixelated:

See if you can make it higher res:

Just curious, but will there be any airlock breakable windows within the station that can/are shuttered automatically? It would be kind of humorous to be wandering around and then for laughs shoot one out only to have a space cop go: "Desist right away Villainous Curr! You've broken intergalactic space treaty B7-CEX2885A! Either pay a fine or be thrown into Scotland Yard!" :v:

that idea would take 2 minutes of i/o in hammer however. hell i could make it if someone gave me the .vmf

I don't think these'd look very good in the mod's environment, they'd look a little too out of place.
Just an opinion.

replace explosions with mass effect lens flare

I hope so. We haven't really gotten to that point yet, though, because we still need the maps and models done first.

I actually tried doing some particle fiddling to see if I could make that effect before 69105 even suggested it.
I could do it if I knew how to make a particle that acted like the flash from the default hl2 explosion. Where it would appear to be an overlay in front of the screen unless the very center was covered up by an object.
[B]EDIT:
[/B]After a quick replacement of particle_flare007b's material, I got this:

The only problems are that it's visible behind walls and it's [I]incredibly[/I] distracting.
I was gonna suggest that but i dont know how particle effects work

why can't source have animated explosions like CoD?

It can, but nobody's bothered to make a good texture to use for one
I can film myself lighting gasoline on fire how about that hah

The main problem is the inability to make sprite sheets.
Right now you're confined to making a looping texture that animates constantly. Sprite sheet animations will only start animating when they are spawned, and can repeat the animation when they are spawned again.

It would need to be a loop.
