Ancient ghosts of the fallen [New effect]

[Mindf!3ldzX]

a "Fiery" portal to hell opens up beneath the recently killed corpse, and the body falls into hell with a poof of fire occurs from it falling in, as the "fiery pit" recloses consuming the body,to be forever punished in hell.

LOL! Awesome ideas, but what about instead of going up or down, if the ghost just fly to a random direction and dissappear? Like saying "I'm free!"

Hello,

I updated the "small mod compilation" packs with the effect for:
- Quake
- Mission Pack 1
- Mission pack 2

For those who are not so familiar with QC, you can use them right away.
(Please read the included readme.txt�s on how to use the cvar, that handle the effect)

For all modders, pick the pack you like and feel free to use the file "ghost.qc".

Link has been added to 1st post as well.


I hope you like the new effect.
It was really tricky for me to do due to my poor QC knowledge.
But as mentioned in 1st post: it always takes several kind and helpful people to make something happen.
I could not have done this alone.

Kind regards,
Seven

@ bluntz
unfortunately I dont understand the last sentence in your post.
My english is not so good.

@ osjclatchford
I also love these biblical phrases combined with fantasy ambience.
Thats why I made this
"... and he blew the song of life, and everyone responded, even those who have been silenced forever."
"... and I saw the light, and he came to me and said that it was not my time yet."
"... and he rose from the ashes and mud, naked, like a child, but do not be afraid of steel and flame."
"... and then he said 'Not with me anymore, not with me ...', and he became the scourge of his enemies."

I meant it shows the souls rising to heaven
but thats not where they are bound for...a joke
but yes if you watch the video of HURT's RAPTUTRE
Someone did just that.
Rises on wings that burn then fall.

hehe how about the ground opens and a flaming-hand pulls the soul back down

or the soul fades from white to black and turns to ashes in the sunlight...

I think some of you take the wrong drugs

Nice ideas that you have.

The only negative thing would be:
You would just stay there, staring at the effect and forget the ogre behind you,
who will throw a grenade in your ..s and tries his new motor saw at your backbone/spine

No seriously,
even the best effect would be boring after a while, i guess.
That is why I wanted to keep it subtle/descreet, hoping that it will not get boring for you too quick.

Regards,
Seven


Just to let you know: I will be in holiday for 1 week starting tomorrow.

Enjoy your vacations Seven!

Wow, nice work seven! Reminds me of Heretic with that kind of effect.

The points people making about down for hell when a monster dies is interesting. Zombies are already dead, so probably they have no souls. Monsters, while generally evil, have souls I suppose....never thought about it much hah. One could say that when we kill a monster, we do it a favor , and send it to heaven? Killing a grunt or enforcer, or another player in the game, would be a no brainer I guess. Never knew this community was so spiritual.....

Hello Cobalt,

Yes, I wrote about my inspiration for this in post #1.
It came from Heretic indeed.

Regarding grunt/enforcer:
You can set the cvar "ghost" to "4" to have the effect for these enemies as well.

I think everybody believes in something.
Some believe in god, some believe in Quake...

I knew I'd seen something like this in the past..
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXvXevBy4aE]YouTube - ‪AMIGA Baal by Psyclapse & Psygnosis‬‏[/ame]

move to about halfway thru the video (1:18 >> ) when the player starts killing things...

These effects are really improving the ambient ! Very nice inspiration ! Thanks Seven.

[bluntz]

Looks very nice!
Better then I imagined you did a swell job.

[xaGe]

..Just saw this and I think its fabulous!

[oldendirt]

Most impressive!

[BoylerBoi]

Very great work!!! Even your "Little Mod combilation". Sorry for this off-topic, but I have two questions:

1. Your knights have red swords. Where are these skins from?
2. The bolt of your 8th gun has a very nice blue effect. Where can I download it?

Greetings

Hello Boylerboi,

1.) It is a mixture of d1554573r beta+final releases + own edits.
2.) Look into your DP options menu --> customize effects. Its all there.
