At 640 x 480 (which is all my Voodoo 3 is capable of) The sprite scales horribly, and it looks really bad. Therefore I don't know how this actuallt looks in-game at high resolutions, so any feedback is appreciated.

Got tired of the badly looping cycles the default ones went through, the 'loop' looks forced on them both when viewed over long periods.
So, I pulled up POV-Ray and made some properly cyclic sprites. They're nothing particularly fancy, and I took steps to make sure they were approximately the same colours and styles as the default ones, only solving the one set-out problem of the looping sequence looking forced.
I'm also investigating a solution for the hive-sight being more opaque than was intended from what I can tell, particularly the white 'friendly' circles.
The sprite viewer I listed works just fine in XP... So does the one by Mach III if you can find it.
oh and NSS should be online as soon as monse gets back from DC (this weekend!)
Also, I'm working on some less-arbitrary gunfire flashes, as right now they're all the same frame, just mirrored horizontally and vertically. Progressing a little at making similair-looking visual splash with POV-Ray, will see if I can make random versions with same like I did for these.
Heck, note that, while I kept some the same 'effect' I did different rendering loops and not just recolours. =^.^= Yeah, it's tiny, but I'm proud when something turns out nice-looking like these did, to me at least.
I may make an 'improved' version at some point, though this version is free for any use by anyone, it's up in the air! If anyone wants, I can explain how the POV-Ray effect works, if they want to attempt similair.
