[Special FX] Particle FX for Doom torches

[KeksDose]

Here are the torch effects I made for Stronghold. The mod basically adds a particle effect to the torches, giving a kinda modern touch. There are some differences between this version and the Stronghold and obliterated SFX Shoppe version. For one, the filesize is reduced drastically by using mirror frames. The torches are also switchable decorations now, so you can turn then on and off. Obviously they always start in an active state. I also rewrote the code from scratch. There are no sound effects, though, but one can easily add them himself. It's essentially the original edition.

Use them as you wish. All I request in the case you use it is a little credit and that you don't upload them elsewhere.

Epic win. Best torch effects I've seen for any game.

Pretty coolhot. I hope they can be reproduced for Eternity.

Very pretty. The only thing that spoils it for me (and is not your fault; but rather, a shortcoming of the renderer) is how the flares clip when they intersect with map geometry. Too bad GZDoom can't do soft particles!

Otherwise, thumbs up!

That reminds me, I'll need to update my credits lump for the final version of my map. Good work here!

I wonder if I can customize the flames to produce an efreeti. Or a serpent.

[ShadesMaster]

It should be possible. I was trying to use these flames to make a lost soul bu having the lost soul produce said flames between each animation, but it didn't work right - he blinked in and out of existence even with the flake production tic at 0. There's got to be a way though!

Very nice. Is this the kind of thing I could set to autoload and use in any map, or would it only work in maps designed for it?

Yep, as long as they replace the existing torches.

[printz]

I've just remembered that if I try this under software rendering, the flames will de-align.

Epic win. Best torch effects I've seen for any game.

Agreed!
