There are quite a lot of new tracks in the works for Twisted Insurrection as of this moment, the first one of these tracks to be complete and put in-game following the 'Space Echo' [Frank Klepacki Remix] and 'Act on Insurrection 2.0' is this, 'Disturbance', which also replaces the old and obsolete score 'Sandstorms'. This new piece was composed by TI staff members Bobisfaction and Swirekster.




While we are making a news post, here are some additional screenshots to make it a little more interesting. Enjoy! Smile

Sandstorm might not reach the level of quality of the other TI tracks, but removing it isn't necessary imo.
It still has some kind of nice environment feel and would surely work well as an intro for some kind of desert map. Maybe keep it like the IonStorm ambience track as a non-selectable track, so mappers can still use it.

Though i guess Heavy Artillery would work good too for a desert map theme.

Not a bad idea at all. Good call. Would be even better if we made some kind of actual sandstorm animation for map effects (I mean something like our old rain tests rather than dust devils).

Also, Tombs is my go-to track for Desert maps:

Beautiful. What exactly is that? Simply an SHP?

True sand storm would not be that small scale, that's more like dust wind.

That's a neat new track. Good work! Smile

I also agree with LKO, Sandstorm shouldn't be removed entirely.

yes, just a simple particle system in 3ds max rendered into a 30 frame SHP.
though i don't really like how pixelated it looks.

but a big area effect would surely cause a lot of lag.

attached a small scale example how such an effect could look like. (Translucency=75)
It would then need to be a seamless looping anim.

Well, I was thinking 2x that size and apply some dithering on the edges to hide the darker colors and blend better.

If you are able to render an extra large version I don't think lag is on the cards really since there'd actually be less animations, the animated water for example doesn't lag at all with several 10x10 tiles. For the particle aand that is.

bigger version
seamless loop
better borders


though this SHP is 3 MB big and placing several of these on a map, surely causes lag.

a few single pixel in a big canvas are something else than almost the entire canvas filled with colored pixel
In addition is the water anim opaque and not transparent.

That looks sweet though, good job. Very Happy To reduce overall file size, how does it look if you trim every other frame or so so that it's 15 frames instead of 30 for example.

I would only use this for singlplayer or something to prevent online lag, it would surely be problematic otherwise.

This seems fitting for an environment found in Dune

Looks great, repetition is barely noticeable. Solid work, LKO. Smile

I have to find some kind of method to motivate you to finish your Nod WIP's, I was Hoping Klepacki would give you the extra boost needed. =[

FK did motivate me and i got already a lot more stuff done, it's just not finished yet.
I have like 10 parallel WIPs, but none finish so far. All at about 60-90%
I also have a small easteregg/credit/thank to FK done in the latest work. Wink
