[2.2] Super awesum explosions that never made it ingame?

I heard rumor recently that arklansman made some awesome explosions a while back, but they never made it in game. What happened?

Is there any possibility that we might see them in for 2.2, if they exist?

 

We probably won't see most of the new particle effects until 2.3.

 

why not?

are they buggy?

 

Because nobody ever implemented them, Mootant was going to but dropped off the face of the earth. There are only a couple of things that are actually done anyway.

 

But explosions...
And OB engine has smexy particle system.

And...
Come ooooooon
At least remove the standard HL2 explosion.

 

The standard HL2 explosion is gone.

 

Oh.
I could have sworn?
It looks pretty damn similar.

At least add a mine explosion effect!

 

that's not cool

goddamn lazy coders not working on a game they're not getting paid to code >

 

Quoted For Truth

 

emm, are you going to pay for the coders work? i think not.

I'm so glad I'm a tester

 

Is MOOTant gone? Haven't really heard his NO in a long time..

 

He showed up on IRC today. Seems like he got back from teh graveyard.

 

quick, apply the gun to the zombie before it EATS OUR BRAINS

 

Quick, try to be on topic before the WHOLE FORUM IS USELESS.

/rant over

 

Wouldn't it be better to at least work the new explosions into 2.2, as the version as is has precious little in the way of shiny new things to showcase at the moment...

 

2.2 is feature locked, we're hoping to be on the final RC now.
