Title: I second the sparks idea!
Post by: Dino Venger on February 12, 2006, 03:56:29 PM: whoa...I've been gone for a real long time...Just popped by to see what's up with DSL 2.0.

anyway, I think that the game would be a lot more relistic if there were huge sparks showering after a big hit.

The pack looks great guys. keep up the good work!

It makes a lot of sparks, but still nowhere near as many as real life. I think in order to make showers of sparks flying all over, you would have to edit the exe and increase the number of particles it creates on impacts (a dubious proposition at best).

Anyways, top 3 requests of mine:
1) Crowds and Audience
2) In Battle Music
3) Lots of Sparks

From my topic about music.

I once tried to change the .TGA file in the directory, but no luck at all...I hoped one of you smart guys would be able to pull it off...It would make big spinner hits so much nicer. 8)

and yes Mean2U...your request was why I said "I second that request"...I just made a new topic because the whole topic was about something else and I didn't want to spoil it. :oops:

Post by: Jon on February 26, 2006, 10:24:06 AM: Yes lots of sparks would be cool- the only place you can get good sparks in the current edition is if you fight ziggo with That Darn Dustpan!
