Will we have dust?

[Trebor95]

Just wondering, when the game is released and say theres a battle in one of the arid regions, will tanks, buggies etc. kick up dust so the enemy can spot them from far away?

also will galaxies etc. create downdrafts kicking up sand/dust etc. when they land?

That sounds like too much load on the servers. :(

I asked the same thing kinda about vehicle track marks before.

The only thing close to that i can think of is the 'rooster tail' effect. Where the water parts when aircrafts fly over it.

if you look at some screens they do kick up dust

its not server side. it's client side.

I'd imagine that most of the vehicles kick up some dust.

i dont see why they wouldnt... i mean its just dust and stuff. take one texture and change its size shouldnt be to hard on the servers unless its like everyone is kicking up dust.

well if it makes the game run smoother, i hope they dont have it. but id would like a """little""" dust kick off, the galaxy landing thing would be cool, but that'd be too much for the servers.

it is client side. not server side.

in other words there will be code explaining that when so and so happens, there will be particle effects displayed for the user. nothing for the server to deal with.

It should be an option you cna turn off to reduce stress on your comp

im sure that there will be some dust...just not a mass amout

I believe there are some cool effects like that.
