Suggestion Firework Effects for Direct Damage Magical Skills

[Rumblestikk]

Please note each firworks effect can have a starting color and fade color. So make changes necessary. There are also three or four types of fireworks. Google them

I'll check this out after I eat, I'm freaking starving.

Hm. Maybe use the creeper face pattern with any of the dark magic style abilities such as harmtouch, decay, poison, drain soul, etc? Could also work for lasting debuff abilities.

I SEE.

Harmtouch - Purple to red (red being point of impact etc)

Force Push/Pull - Green to blue and blue to green (depending on pushing or pulling)

Decay - Grey to dark grey/black

Root - Green to brown (Roots grow green and mature at brown like tree roots)

Smite - Yellow (Yep)

Layhands - White (Uh huh)

Drainsoul - Black (Beautiful)

Better? xD

I have most of these working on test... Colors aren't absolute. Host still looking into the net stuff. I'm at the mall

Smite - Yellow to White?

Drainsoul - Black to Purple?

 

[Merikku]

Smite - Yellow to White?

Drainsoul - Black to Purple?

Perhaps white to yellow for smite, concentrated power at the end lol.

Drainsoul Black to purple sounds nice. :3

Best quote ever.

Smite - Yellow to White?
Drainsoul - Black to Purple?

Yes and yes. However, smite currently has blue/white on the test server, unsure if Kain wants to keep that.

 

[Merikku]

i guess blue/white could work, but perhaps in reverse. White to blue

Off topic, I'm T6 here? weird lol.

 

[Rumblestikk]

I'm making Hot Dog for lunch... Who wants some?

On topic - I'm going to look into the designs on the wiki after i scarf these down But I like the idea of Dark Magic effects (Poison, Decay, Harmtouch) being creeper face patterns

 

[Teerian]

Merikku has a good idea for force push and pull I think. Though I would prefer to see our ideas combined a bit. Blue to green for pull, blue to red (or orange) for push.

As for a pattern for the abilities... hmm. Tough call there. I would like to see something other than the regular explosive or circular patterns, but that leaves only creeper face (which I don't think fits at all) and star pattern. Would the star pattern fit, or would that be better for, say, bard or other class abilities? Any opinions on this?

By the way...

Short video of the various patterns and colors being fired into the air for those who haven't seen them all yet. And yes, I suck and making links on forums if it doesn't automatically do it.

Edit: I guess it does. Yay.

A hand print shooting forward would be awesome for Harmtouch. Sort of like the hand print in skyrim for the black hand logo. Outline of a hand etc.

Theres no hand explosion lol.

 

[Jack_Reacher]

I don't want to be debbie downer here, but will these firework effects lead to more lag? That's the last thing we need.

EDIT: I guess most of the firework effect would be client-side processing...

 

[Rumblestikk]

I updated the front page, with Fade colors and burst types. Feedback please!

Also leftovers5 - I need a Fade color for the ports.

Light blue -> White?

 

[Teerian]

I'm no leftovers5, but... purple or light purple fade? Endermen use purple trails, and most other games I can recall use(d) some kind of mix of purple with their teleport/summon/gate spells. Seems to be a kind of arcane color.

Edit: White could work, too. Whatever seems to look best.

Remember fireworks colors are limited to that of Dyes

For what he said, I'd imagine he means magenta or purple. I think that would work, seems plausible to me.
