[Rumblestikk]

When i voidsong it looks like black and red wings come out of the ground LOL.

See? That is soposed to be a creeper face lol.

Yeaaah the fireworks has the thing with being on the ground :/
If it were used for aim skills though, I guess it would explode where it landed...?

 

[Jonsoon]

Today was the first time I every launched a firework! Its really fun all the combinations you can make.
Why only two colours? I made a nice one for decay with Black, Brown, Grey, and Red.

Wow. I should have expected an issue with patterns being cut off by terrain due to firing off of a player's position, but I never once thought about it. Probably too much of a hassle to code it to where it explodes off of the top half of a player (or 1 block above), if that can even be done. Disappointing.

Wonder if Bleed/Mortalwound (Or any other sammy skill) could use these. I know MW is hard to see when it lands, maybe red particles?

Also Kainzo uin153 Uin was telling me about a server that used redstone breaking particles to symbolize bleeding upon being hit, is this possible to use? I just think it would be cool if bleed had an effect haha

 

[Kainzo]

We wont be adding firework effects to skills that are physical based. We will try and add what we can. The redstone method, last i checked, was very poorly done.

I'm looking into this now - its an oversight in the code.

What about for rangers:

Fire arrow (on impact): Red/orange
Ice arrow (on impact): Blue/white

Originally I had this on the list, but Kain wasnt sure if It could be done, because its a toggle and not direct damage.

Read kains post below haha.

victim130 - Alot of people wanted Red to represent a bleeding effect. However red was for Fire Damage, so Sammys and Dragoons didn't get anything from this because all their skills are physical.

Jonsoon - If you look at Kains post on page three, there are colors that it was limited to by code, so he posted this diagram for me to use, and I colored them by damage type so he could code it.

Poison -> Olive/Lime green (Poison)
Healing -> Pink/White (Any heals)
Lightning/Force -> Yellow/White (Bolt, Megabolt, Blitz, Pulse)
Ice -> Blue/Navy/Aqua (IceBlade)
Fire -> Red/Orange/Black (Blaze)
Drains -> Green/Purple (SoulDrain, SoulLeech.)
Death -> Black/Grey (Decay, Empathy, Despair, Plague.)

 

[Kainzo]

Oh, anything can be done, but the limitation is my brain. I am not a master coder.

Where are all the genies when you need them? :/

 

[Rumblestikk]

Where are all the genies when you need them? :/

Hiding in their lamps.

 

[Jasquan]

Hiding in their lamps.

Those bastards! Quickly, rub all lamps in the entire world until you get a genie, then make one of the wishes "I wish Jasquan could fulfill any wish"!!!!!!!!The reason is secret, though. ;-)

 

[victim130]

I'll just wait for HCO

Although could we get a "X Player has been Mortally Wounded!"?

I tried looking for an answer but couldn't find it. Thanks.

Ranger. Barrage. Burst. Would be awesome if it was Yellow/Orange, Blue, or Green depending on which elemental arrow you had equipped. Otherwise, Yellow/Orange.

Its the only Ranger skill that works with a small burst (to launch all those arrows at once) that could have a firework addition.

Also who saw my Flare suggestion?
Class: I dont know, Ranger? Scribe? Mystic?. Skill: Flare. Star (at a Y 5 blocks above your head, if possible). Red. Grants Night vision to party for 2 minutes.

Ranger skills are mostly Physical. Barrage isn't magical.

Like I said before, and kain answered, I had it suggested for the Each arrow, but kain has to code these by hand and his knowledge isn't infinite.

I'll be working on these when I have time:

Layhands | Star | Fuchsia/White
Reckoning | Ball | Yellow/White
DivineStun | Star | Yellow/White
MelodicBinding | Ball | Yellow/White
DarkRitual | Creeper | Black/Grey
Despair | Ball | Black/Gray
Plague | Burst | Black/Gray
FullHeal | Burst | Fuchsia/White
MegaBolt | Burst | Yellow/White
Shock | Burst | Yellow/White
