Technically no problem but right now I file this under WFDS. Maybe I change my mind later.

An interesting idea with a custom GunFlash like that... would it be possible to have multiple gun flashes? A_GunFlash ("Myflash",layer number [negative numbers indicate that it should be above rather than below],drawstyle flags)

I suggest this in skulltag forum but It get unnoticed as it apear that develloper
are bored with useless suggestion but navermind I know now this is not
useless and has some chance and and I am pleased of it.

What about custom flash states? Like A_Gunflash ("Myflash", (over/under), additive/translucent...). Some weapons uses many different attacks so they will need also different flashes.

Or the impression that it's up to the community at large what gets implemented, when in reality it's up to the developers. Worse, you might encourage others to use the same idea.

Is it possible to disable polls by forum so this doesn't happen again?

I didn't say you shouldn't do it but think about it: There's only 2 ways a feature request is handled:

1) it is implemented
2) it is denied
(Ok, there's a third: It's ignored

)

This one will most likely be implemented - but I'm not in the mood to work on Doom right now - so I'm sorry you have to wait.

Anyway, with a poll in a feature request you might give the incorrect impression that you want to force the issue.

what's this about transparent PNGs? Does that actually work in this case?

I repost this link a quick example wad with png "native" transluency:

http://www.zshare.net/download/419512361417b8/

but I dont know if gimp2.0 save the transluency correctly.

I take it from risen3D but risen3D use md2 to make it more
horizontally + additive blending

it work a bit in gzdoom gl renderer but it is really hard to see
but not in software zdoom.

@ graf zahl sorry i wasn't aware I shouldn't do this

FYI, I deleted the poll from this thread. It won't increase the chance of this being added in any way so it is more or less pointless.

Disruptor uses alpha flashes and it looks neat.

Also what's this about transparent PNGs? Does that actually work in this case?

While 1 is the least helpful in my eyes, it'd still be very useful. I haven't done flash sprites yet, but I can imagine exactly how arduous it is to align those.

The thing I'd REALLY like to see is renderstyle, alpha and scale. High-res transparent flash sprites would be great!

This isn't too hard to add. The weapon code is isolated enough for this.

by **DoomKn1ght** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 6:31 am

I hope this is enough simple to code

i dont know if this will be classified in waitfor doomscript thing i just notice.

I've wanted 1 for a while actually. Imagine trying to pull off the Duke Nukem Kick using flash frames- you'd have to make the GUN display with flash frames while the kick was displayed with regular graphics!

here is a test wad with png transluency for the pistol muzzleflash
that I take it from risen3D core effect addon

http://www.zshare.net/download/419512361417b8/

It look bad compared to what additive blending could look.

Some people misunderstood that the screenshot I posted was a screenshot
of risen3D core effect pack.

The translucent flash will allow you to see through to the normal sprite below - which might actually look quite good.
