Adding more and more unnecessary particles to the explosion:

Now it's got little sparkling bits of shrapnel that fly out and bounce against walls. And I changed the fireball texture to look better. Probably still gonna do more.
Not sure I like the new fireball texture as much, but it's hard to say when it's not in motion.
Fireball texture still looks cartoonish. It's the sharp edges between the white and yellow.

Well, I'm confused. Do you guys [I]want[/I] realism in this mod? It doesn't seem like it would fit when you've got Italians with eyes twice as big as their mouths.
Either way, it looks better in motion, which is why I'm uploading a video as I type this.

I also was testing out a condensation wave effect, you'll see it in the slow mo. The beginning is also a stress test, to show how little the explosion lags, even in large numbers (the only real source of the lag is the distortion wave. As soon as it's gone the framerate goes back up to normal.)
i think its pretty cool but i hate the amount of smoke
The flames should disappear in under a second.

It looks awesome and cinematic the way it is right now.
it looks weird and unrealistic the way it is right now. A small explosion won't do that.

where the FUCK are the tits
poking through her back
Ew, that would be gross
Like where on her back, upper or lower?
behind the knees
:ohdear:
They are behind the tongue
If you're going to make it cinematic and unrealistic at least make the fireball huge + soar upwards.
what a bonerkill

There are points between "photorealism" and "three-color cel shading."
I was more referring to Jaanus' disapproval of a cinematic fiery explosion.
Either way.
Seeing as trial and error isn't getting good results fast enough, hows about you fellas tell me what you think I should do with it. Maybe an example or two. And I'll see what I can do.
Right now I've changed the fire so it fades away slightly quicker (under one second, but still looks good and fiery) What do you guys think the fire texture should look like?
I think mahalis was most on point with this:

I don't know how to put it in words, just more like an explosion: [url]http://en.wikivisual.com/images/c/c7/Explosions.jpg[/url]
I think maybe the problem is there's much too much yellow in it.
[editline]24th January 2011[/editline]
Also, for what it's worth, the smoke particles abruptly popping out of existence is probably the weakest part of the effect as it is now.
[editline]24th January 2011[/editline]
ALSO is there any way to add a little screen shake with the explosion? Or would that have to be coded in?

Have to code it. Particles cannot interact with the environment or the player in any way apart from collisions.

They pop out of existence? Where?

When the explosion begins to finish, they just pop out of the ground at random places. They don't expand or anything, it's like middle earth needed to fart really badly and decided to do so right where a grenade exploded.
:ohdear:

in that video you posted. At the end of the effect, huge smoke particles just abruptly vanish. It looks p. cheap.
vman, the problem with your explosions is that they look too much like gasoline bombs, and not enough like actual explosives.

Cheap mod, cheap particles
I kid, just needs to fade

What are they supposed to do other than fade away...?

I fucking lost it when I saw that.
On another note, if you squint real hard it looks like she has wings in that image.
