Community Feedback: hyperspace jump flash

[Kauket]

When I was creating these I did my best not to flood the screen with unnecessary brightness because it can give me a nasty headache too. I offset the fuse for the effects to spawn in so it wasn't as jarring to look at from first person and from another perspective.

If really necessary, you can download the ale editor here so you can either disable the effect entirely or change the colours to be darker so you don't get disturbed as much. (Though I wonder how enabling tradelane flashes arent unsettling you or explosions in the game? They're more strobey)

If you want to take matters into your hand regarding fx in the future:

Download the ale editor here (don't think skotty uploaded 4.2 so ill reupload it)

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/aw10afp3e...mmhrv&dl=0

Open ale editor.

Select Textures drop down > Load Textures.

Navigate to DATA/FX folder in your install. Shift select all of the .txm files and load them in.

Goto File, Open, goto DATA/FX/MISC, and open jump_gate_splash_small (or medium, or large)

Double click here to open the effect library, the area highlighted in red.



Open each every emitter node (stuff that ends in .emt) and set the "Life Span" to 0 seconds - the area highlighted in orange. It will stop spawning particles entirely. Ctrl + S to save. You can freely edit ale (fx) files without fear of anticheat.

So customise the game to your own hearts content fx wise.

These effects are deliberately made so they are a visual indicator of someone who just entered via jumpgate/hole or jump drive.
