It's been tweaked a bit, but I'm too lazy to add another picture. Still has the same theme I suppose.

Credit to Bungie for the sprites.
Enjoy.;)

E: Oh and forgot to mention, will overwrite your default, extract to tags folder.

that's pretty cool looking. How exactly did you make the gif?

By following http://www.inat.org/page4.html

Never could do it again for some reason :|

Looks pretty sweet. There's something about the sparks that gets me though, just can't place it.

Neato.

E: @Recycle Bin: Yeah, I see that now, too. That would be kinda cool for a plasma grenade.

Looks like it's collapsing in on itself rather then disolving.

Looks great Mythril, maybe going to do the plasma nade next?

Also, in case you don't know, you can just record your tag, then go to

and have it converted, just don't make it too long or it'll get cut off.

I don't like it. The shrapnel arcs (why would it do this? it's being thrown away by an explosion), and the explosion itself just seems to expand then implode. It's more like a firework than a grenade.

It looks like the GIF is making the explosion seem faster than it should.

I realize it isn't realistic, but its the best I could find in a 2 minute google search.

Expands then fades out. The cloud doesn't become more dense. Also, wouldn't arc the sparks (from what it looks like, those things have more of an X component than Y even at the very top), those things are going really fast and at that size, air resistance is negligible. So, their velocity should be be straight for the most part.

My two cents.

So you're saying I should stop it "imploding" and make it fade out more?
I'll look into that, thanks.

Huh, weird, I didn't get anything, so oh well.
I didn't mean that I didn't understand what you meant, and where you got it, I just meant that I didn't understand what the trojan was.

Its only a trojen anyway, as long as you do no online banking or shit like that I doubt it will bother you. My virus checker didnt detect anything either. Im using BitDefender2009

Except I never did that. And people wonder why companies put up legal disclaimers.

Is that the explosion or the smoke effect after the grenade? It looks like one of the .particle tags has Alpha Blend instead of Add for the Framebuffer blend function.

IT's not the HUD, it worked before, but I think I mixed something up and it got screwed over. It's the smoke from the frag being thrown.

Go to effects\particles\air\smoke impact.particle. Scroll down until you see framebuffer blend function. Change it to "add".
