Sprite question.

[Cerberus_e]

3 years ago, I made some duke3d maps, and i always wondered why that sprite is available in the textures menu, it's some sort of actor, it's small, a little square, and there comes fire out of it at irregular times.
some sort of fire spitter. it can be found after the enemies in the texture menu.

what is it for? why isn't it in the game? were the level designers intended to use it? but theys crapped it instead? is it just an "extra", or what?:)

I'm pretty sure it was left in there for people to put in their usermaps http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif There was also a strange sprite which produced a really cool effect but I can't remember it off hand (I could of sworn it was Geoffrey who pointed it at some point in the past) which also wasn't used in the normal game.

Yeah, some weird cristal/spark sprite creates a dome of sprites around it, that blow up when you shoot them http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Really cool and very, very useless http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Totally correct
Not a screen shot, but a animated gif

2590 is the weird effect. its awesome, but too buggy. I had a good idea for it. Unfortanetly its hardcoded.

I didn't know FORCESPHERE actually did anything. That's a really cool effect! http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

It makes a full sphere if you put it in the air. But its just too buggy! http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
