Arcane Fx + Illumina

Over the last few months ive had the pleasure of beta testing the upcoming Arcane Fx. Its a fantastic pack with some awe inspiring effects, coupled with the lightingpack it gets made even better.

I spent the past weekend just integrating the features i want for illumina. Since illumina is not an rpg (and never will be), ive been trying to find ways i can adapt arcanefx to my needs.

Since im not using the orc skeleton, i decided to takeout all the animation/constraint code, since im not going to be performing spells and i dont need all those fancy effects.

So ive decided to start by adapting one of the Arcane Spells but using it for my cloak activation. You can see my results here

www.singlecellgames.com/afx.avi -- 4 meg.

Now that ive got the basics in place my plan for the next few weeks

- Continue learning the ins and outs of AFX and adapt my cloaking effect to my needs (change the color/effects)
- Addin new effects for Medic/AntiCloak/Engineer/Support effects when used ingame.
- Addin effects for Capture the Flag and other Gamemodes
- Addin explosions for vehicles and other items.

Im hoping with a little tweaking (since im no artist) i can find the right spell effects to fit my needs. Who knows i just might get a scifi drone in there somewhere as well :)

Thanks to Jeff Faust and all his arcanefx help along the way.
