This would be pretty awesome. Would it look like that picture you included, Bodrick? Would it be hard on GPUs? Fix your sig, Caelo :-)
Heh, I can't believe only two people noticed that Damian's back. You, sir, have a lot of explaining to do! (Only kidding, welcome back). But seriously, get back to work. :D
I noticed too. I hopped on the IRC, linked to his post, and said 'DAIMIAN LIVES AND POSTS! <insert link to his post here>'
Awesome. I want to see little pieces of tank-track flying off all over the place, and embedding themselves in the backs of retreating crew! I wouldn't mind dying like that (in-game, of course)...
While it would be decidedly awesome, the server will have to keep track of the directions of the debris to make sure they kill someone if they hit, otherwise it'll be only your client that sees the debris. I say make the explosion hurt (has been suggested here somewhere aswell...), but not the debris, too much extra weight on the connection.
if it was all set up, surely chaging between clientside and player injuring server side would be (relatively) easy, right? so if it gets coded in, we can test both.
Na keep it client side visual only like the wheel dust clouds. That way the poor guys whos gfx cars are crying already can diable them. Lord nows Empires gives my XT1950 a work out...
