<div class="IPBDescription">a special FX sprite compilation</div> this is a compilation of several miscellaneous sprites used for special effects in NS. i've put a lot of time and effort into this, and i hope you enjoy it. the following legend will refer to the numbered screenshot (included) of each sprite, and give you the filename along with a short description. this gives you the option of choosing which individual sprites you would like to install, as opposed to merely <b>unzip</b>ping <b>this into your x:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\your@email.com\half-life\ns\sprites directory</b>, which would install all of the main replacements listed. if there is an alternate (i.e. recolor) sprite available, the legend will refer you to a file of the same name packaged in the alternates.zip (included).

<span style='color:red'>•</span><span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:gray'>hosted <a href='http://l0tus.nsarmslab.com/l0tus-pack00.zip' target='_blank'>here</a> by <a href='http://www.nsarmslab.com' target='_blank'>NSArmslab.com</a>.</span></span>

NOTE: simply unzipping this file into your ns\sprites directory <i>will</i> install these correctly. you do not need to use this legend for anything other than manually installing individual sprites, or any of their alternates. also, the numbered screenshot and legend (readme) are packaged in the .zip

    just a small note: if you do have older versions of some of these sprites installed, you should consider replacing them with the revisions in this pack. although they may seem similiar in the screenshot (i just cropped some old shots for a couple of those frames), i've done a lot of cleaning and recoloring to several of them as of late. anyway, i appreciate the compliments, as always. thnx-

    the blue jp flame seems to be missing in the pack. but if there is no change of the blue jp flame then i'll just keep the old version i'm using now.

    my bad; thanks for pointing that out. and yeah, there is a small difference: i saturated the edges so that they are darker/more blue, and therefore blend into the background better (old version was a too bright around its edges, and looked a little jagged). the only sprites that haven't really changed since their inception are the 2 resource flares, and the explosion sprite. anyway, re·upping fixed pack now...

    because it wasn't correctly coded and it is actually used as the smoke coming out when a turret fires. I think...

    l0tus could u plese verify that for me? and point me to ur model pack?!

    no, the effect is just very rare. i have no bearing on how often you see it, just what it looks like. you'll have to talk to the NS team about that...

    @paras!te: that was probably a different flare. if you inadvertantly replaced yours, i can probably find the older one.

    @recon: it's in the pack. the link is directly under the screenshot.

    <b>edit</b>: found the old flare i think you're talking about. i've attached blue/green variants to this post. just rename either sprite to "flare3.spr," and you're good to go.

    Great pack, but the LMG muzzleflash is just huge, bigger than the default.
