Ancient ghosts of the fallen [New effect]

[DaniOcampo1992]

Enjoy your vacations Seven!

[Seven]

I think some of you take the wrong drugs

Nice ideas that you have.

The only negative thing would be:
You would just stay there, staring at the effect and forget the ogre behind you,
who will throw a grenade in your ..s and tries his new motor saw at your backbone/spine

No seriously,
even the best effect would be boring after a while, i guess.
That is why I wanted to keep it subtle/descreet, hoping that it will not get boring for you too quick.

Regards,
Seven


Just to let you know: I will be in holiday for 1 week starting tomorrow.

hehe how about the ground opens and a flaming-hand pulls the soul back down

or the soul fades from white to black and turns to ashes in the sunlight...

Hello,

I updated the "small mod compilation" packs with the effect for:
- Quake
- Mission Pack 1
- Mission pack 2

For those who are not so familiar with QC, you can use them right away.
(Please read the included readme.txt´s on how to use the cvar, that handle the effect)

For all modders, pick the pack you like and feel free to use the file "ghost.qc".

Link has been added to 1st post as well.


I hope you like the new effect.
It was really tricky for me to do due to my poor QC knowledge.
But as mentioned in 1st post: it always takes several kind and helpful people to make something happen.
I could not have done this alone.

Kind regards,
Seven

@ bluntz
unfortunately I dont understand the last sentence in your post.
My english is not so good.

@ osjclatchford
I also love these biblical phrases combined with fantasy ambience.
Thats why I made this
"... and he blew the song of life, and everyone responded, even those who have been silenced forever."
"... and I saw the light, and he came to me and said that it was not my time yet."
"... and he rose from the ashes and mud, naked, like a child, but do not be afraid of steel and flame."
"... and then he said 'Not with me anymore, not with me ...', and he became the scourge of his enemies."

I meant it shows the souls rising to heaven
but thats not where they are bound for...a joke
but yes if you watch the video of HURT's RAPTUTRE
Someone did just that.
Rises on wings that burn then fall.

LOL! Awesome ideas, but what about instead of going up or down, if the ghost just fly to a random direction and dissappear? Like saying "I'm free!"

[Mindf!3ldzX]

a "Fiery" portal to hell opens up beneath the recently killed corpse, and the body falls into hell with a poof of fire occurs from it falling in, as the "fiery pit" recloses consuming the body,to be forever punished in hell.

[LambentHammerBurst]

With this whole up/down thing. I thought of a possible idea but would be very advanced for QC.
"Going up in flames". Rises, big flame rises, then dies out and it's gone.

Wouldn't be much of an effect going "down" in game--wouldn't see the effect. Maybe they are being released from their torment and going "up".

[Mindf!3ldzX]

What Bluntz was saying is, most people think Going Up! = Heaven , Going Down! = Hell.


Monsters don't go to Heaven, they go down to Hell

[seanstar]

Wow! you really did something special with this.


You never cease to amaze me Seven...this effect is very nice.


well done.


Cheers

This looks so cool in-game!!

Hello,

Thank you all for your kind words.


OoPpEe,
As I wrote in the 1st post:
Every modder can use the new effect. It is free for all to implement it in their own mods.
You can of course make an alternative version.
This is totally independent to if I used my sound or your sound for phantom knight.

The only thing you should avoid doing is an addon for "small mod compilation" packs.
Because it is possible that in my next release your addon will not work with it anymore.
Nobody knows today what weird things will come into my crazy mind next.


Kind regards,
Seven

That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! Nice Job!

[LambentHammerBurst]

Seven mind if I make a alt pack to release for this? See you used my modified sound for the Knight Death sound
The "alt version" would be using the Wrath inplace of the ghost and use a Death Knight corpse instead.

this is awesome!!! and suits the ghost-swords perfect!
