Well I did it again.. ok folks heres a list of 32 various explosions to your exploration. I have included a list of all in a 2 jpgs with the files already converted. All you have to do is rename them to what you would like. Understand however theres some limits to what you can do. For instance if you want to achieve blue explosions you will need to probably make each file blue.

I'm going try give you guys a break down of what each explosion uses.. ill be updating this periodically because theres so many variations.. theres even changes when you fire on buildings or the various terrains.

Inner explosions scales up/down quickly so it needs something typically with edges sticking out in order to see. This however could be changed if you change the outer explosion to something more subtle.

Outer Explosion typically spins and fades, unfortunately it uses an addictive settings so its only going appear dull and dark. You won't be able to get it to be bright, its best just to turn down the saturation for this so you can see inner explosion. Unfortunately whatever you change will effect gernade trails because its the same file.

heres what names you can use these files for in the following folder Legions Overdrive\live\legions\data\shapes\particles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

explosion01.dds - inner texture
smoke06.dds - outer texture

works for weapon muzzle flashes as well but you have to edit the files both the regular layer and alpha layer and turn the brightness down about 90 percent to achieve the best effects.

explosion02.dds
explosion03.dds
flame01.dds
flare.dds

i wanna see some cool combinations :)
 

Armageddon

Teapot
images path = live\legions\data\shapes\particles

rename the image.

Example flare.dds would become explosion01.dds to be used with your inner rocket explosion.

Rocket Explosion
------------------------------------------------------
inner= explosion01.dds -- multiple in ring pattern and scales down
outer= smoke06.dds

Gernade Explosion/PineApple Explosion
------------------------------------------------------
flare= flare.dds --- single texture (only outter parts of the texture are visable)
inner= explosion02.dds --- multiple in ring pattern and spins
outer= smoke06.dds

PlayerDeath Explosion
------------------------------------------------------
inner= explosion03.dds -- multiple ring pattern
outer= smoke06.dds

Other
------------------------------------------------------
juggernaut bomblets= explosion02.dds
juggernaut cluster spread = flame01.dds
core fire texture = flame01.dds

ok guys the files are fixed... just remember theres an alpha layer that the game uses to get the transparency.. otherwise you get the boxes.

--- thats if your making your own...
