Well, I mean, "yay".
We have heads and faces.
w00t.
But, then again, what's the gain if we can't have any effects to go in-game WITH those heads and faces?
Well, I know none of this will be simple, but, we really need some more special effects.
You know, for details.
Such as:
Particle effects -- Basicly sparkles, except, they support any text (which is reduced to 16x16).
Volumetric Effects -- 2 or more intercecting textures to give the impression of grass, bushes ETC. Maybe even clouds.
Dynamic lights -- Deffinatly the hardest, but, basicly, multiple movable lights casting shadows.
Ambient lights -- Same as dynamic lights, but goes through objects.
Different physics effects -- You know what this is.
Abillity to insert primative shapes -- Cmon, shapes you've learned about when you were 4?
ETC.
I know most won't happen soon, but they're things to think about. |

Well, to keep people from over-spamming them, we could have an "effects points" system.
Would work like this:
You start with 2500 points (per place).
Every effect you put in subtracts a certain ammount, as followed:
Particle effects - 10
Volumetric effects - 2
Dynamic lights - 500
Ambient lights - 200
Hey, it might work. |

yes...they should also start thinking of ways to cut lag(most likely broken scripts somewhere) |

Pugzy, keep to the point.
Special effects, not lag. |

Special affects, Awsome idea! I have always wanted a partical system! Maybe even direct light sources to start off with? |

Direct light sources are dynamic lights....
Lol. |

Correct....... But a simpler way to do dynamic light is the make a light source an insertable object, And allowing players to point the light flow in whichever direction they desire. |

True, true....
But, regular instance-based dynamic lights tend to *sough*glitch less*cough*. |

Correctamundo............
Now on to the matter of the partical system, What type of particals are you talking about? |

Anything XD.
You upload a texture, it resizes it to 16x16 (Linux's idea), and displays it as defined by the player. |

You mean, A partical emitter system? |
|
faIcohJoin Date: 2008-07-10

Exactly.
You define the point of emition, desnity, speed, ETC. |

Why could also have partical reactors! Imagine how creative scripters could be! A reactor one minute, Sucking in all particals in it's radius, Then pumping them all out in an epic explosion! |
|
|
i kinda agree i kinda dont so my face looks like this =/ |
|
|
awsome ideas.
these could lead to new effects like fire (using particles and light emmiter)
more realistic objects,
and other stuff 10/10 |

We also need to remember that ROBLOX is a children's site, Which means everything needs to be pretty basic for those little kids. |

We should be allowed to place as many effects as we want, with no cost.
Otherwise great idea. |
|

Dynamic Lights would be awesome! I'd already thought of those before I saw this thread and just think about it, campfires, lamps, cool shadow effects, you could even make places that are similar to agh, can't remember the name, anyways those things that you make shapes with your hands and a flashlight, and to keep newbs unconfused just call 'em "Light Bricks" |

He wants them for advanced users, And "Light bricks" would make me confused if I was, Say, Making a giant lamp? |

It's so they don't spam them too much XD.

First off, you misunderstand me.
The title is ment to both attract, and explain.
It means for people who UNDERSTAND it. Not just say "umg cewlio!". |

Those are people looking for post counts, They just say "This rocks" on anything, I seen one person say "thsi is awsum!" on a free Builder's Club thread. |

Still, enough with this.
Back on topic.
Any more ideas? |

Wow. That would be cool. Wierd conversation. |
