Ion Painter's explosion are 3d as wellOriginally posted by placebo
If you're talking about the Ion Painter's explosion, that is most definitely a sprite.
If you're talking about the Ion Plasma Tank / bigass Ion Turret, than yes.Comment

this is what i was trying to explainOriginally posted by JohnClay
at the moment their mushroom clouds are always vertical and only rotate around the z axis. Their other explosion sprites freely rotate so that they always face you directly.

Re: Epic: ECE Vehicles "Bugs" and Nit-Picking
The lame shotgun sound is intentional. It's designed to sound *very* distinct so that the shotgun sound can sound very scary when 16 rockets fly right at a stationary target.Originally posted by Erez
The Cicada:
- The Cicada's rocket-firing sounds like a lame shotgun. Yeah, a plane, rockets, weeeeeeee.
You can press F4 for a better view. It also makes the alt-fire a bit more accurrate as you see exactly where your salvo will land.
- Like the Paladin, the camera is posed too close.
The Cicada is supposed to be that way. If you want to move slowly, just move slowly - charging at full speed will get you slammed against a wall or something as the craft is not designed to be aglie.
- I found myself hiting the direction keys several times till they actually responded, especially the side ones. Please make the Cicada move normally like the Raptor does, but slower to balance it out.
Besides, those vehicles are designed to move by holding down a key.
Also, you didn't exactly mention a more important bug with the Cicada - even though kills made with it do get announced in the message bar, you don't get credit in either the scoreboard or the statistics page. (Doesn't seem critical, but over the long term, it may interfere with programs that try to keep stats in order to see if the vehicles/weapons are balanced.)Comment

I forgot about this, I have also noticed really strange death messages. Namely getting blown against the side of a Paladin by the force of its shot and it said I got ran over by a Scorpion.Comment

BTW, about the 2d explosion again, I think it should have more frames in the animation so that it can go a little slower and so that the top part of the cloud rises while evapourating, like in duke 3d. At the moment it seems to grow until it becomes a full mushroom, then it suddenly disappears. For low detail settings the animation could be like how it is though (to save some texture memory)Comment

The initial explosion is definitely a sprite, I dunno about the shockwave. Same with the Redeemer.Originally posted by Nuclear hazard
