Ok, I've got weapons working 100% again and now you only have one key... next weapon... which I think is better.
Oh... and had a play with some special fx...
Have I gone too far with
2D Add blend particles?
It does get a bit slow if there's too much going on but for blood and flame thrower it looks the business... It makes me more tempted to think about using a 2d/3D sprite library for special fx like explosions... I'm sure we could add it in as a render layer like we do all the other layers?
I know we've talked about keeping it 2D only for the minimum specs but the specs are far from low spec now with 1024x1024 bitmaps for the sprites etc.
The reason why I say this is just doing blood splats, gore and the flame thrower with the add blend particles makes all the other particles look total pants.
Let me know what you think.
