Warp speed effect skybox (will pay $20 for it)

[Planr]

So I know there are skyboxes with moving clouds and other phenomenon like Celestial Dreams. Well, I need a skybox mod that has moving effects on all parts of the sky, that move in one direction (coming from the north and going to the south). Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJLbAntU118

If anyone is able to do this (and do it good!), I will pay you $20 for it (when it's done).

this would be loving awesome but i'm not sure it can be done

'moving skyboxes' I'm pretty sure is just a shape in the top part of the skybox that translates.

most you'll get out of this is with emitters / projectiles moving in the opposite direction of the ship

You could probably do the lines fairly well with a big particle system

This, skybox/clouds would not get the same effect as the particles can.
I did a similar thing in a video.
I used zone bricks to emit the laser A emitter in a direction (North,East,South,West not sure which one).
I think that is the best you can do, using the skybox/clouds for it might look odd, is all.

I'm already doing Laser A effects. The problem is that you can't see those effects through transparent bricks (windows), which my ship has many of. I can't accept making them invisible just so you can see emitters. Plus, if players leave the ship, they can easily see its an emitter trick and thus the immersion is lost.

how many models can the game support
try an addon with models of some sort, maybe sheets of particles?

[Trogtor]

best bet would be to make an item thats just a bunch of small shapes floating and have a thread play of them moving

[Planr]

sounds like a good idea Trogtor, anyone up for the challenge?

[Trogtor]

i actually wanna do it myself i cant guarantee it though

[Planr]

go for it man i'll pay you if its good!

[Masterlegodude]

Can't you just do a black skybox with white rectangles for clouds and set the cloud speed to various values? Seems like a fairly easy job to be paying someone $20 for

[Planr]

yeah that'd work but as others pointed out its sadly not possible to do on all sides.

[Masterlegodude]

I tried replicating the effect using a custom skybox and ground, the ground looks better with shaders off than with them on


I'm not sure what other way you can do this, if you mount an invisible object to the player that emits white rectangles in the opposite direction of where they're looking, the emitter will just follow them around, so they can't actually see the particles as they fly by

[SuperSuit12]

use negative height water for the bottom that'd help
