Change Fire and Engine Smoke effects possible ? - Carnagexxx - 27.03.2008

Is it possible to change the Fire and the dark hitten Engine smoke in the game. For me, both looks like Smoke / Fire Balls connectint to a chain.

I really like the Fire in B17 - II ( and the tracers Wink )

So can anybody create new effechts ?

Also the explosions in the game sucks, it need a bigger "bang" sound and more complete parts falling down, like seen here at 3:36 and 1:17, like motors etc...

+1,000,000,000,000,000! The effects are probaly one of my least favorite parts of the game- especially the a/c explosions- they're too transparent and too colorful, maybe a little more black and bright orange/yellow.

They are all the same, just smoother.

I hope someone will try it, maybe new Fire / Smoke Textures

I think the "oil smoke" looks much more realistic than the "smokeball chains"

and also an oil leak, tiny little droplets instead of thin trail of smoke that is the same all the time

Also would be great :

More Fire when Planes hit the Grounds, also on water. In original Footage you can clearly see that there is a firewall when a plane hit the water ( not in 90 degrees, more in 50 - 70 degrees ) Maybe the "Russian Napalm" Effect can be used for this.

Bigger explosions or water fountains when Bombers or other large planes hit the ground. I think its totally unrealistic that a bomber had the same sized explosion than a fighter plane

I really support this! I wouldnt mind to have less fire tho. Best would be if you could have two types of fire for airplanes. As it is now the fire will extend to maybe 2 times the length of the aircraft while many guncameras show the fire as centerd to where the fire actually occurs. However if you set a fuel tank on fire for example then I guess that lots of fire would be applicable, maybe even beyond the length of the aircrfat. Now tho I think it looks stupid when engine fire is extending too far behind the aircraft.
I also agree that the oil smoke type of fire looks more realistic than then fire smoke. Its all too thick I think...
So if anyone would come up with an alternative engine fire/smoke mod I would be all for it!! Smile

- Hellzone - 24.04.2008

Effect files are .eff they contain info on which smokes, flashes ect.. looks for them in the 3DO/Effects folder and in the files.sfs


- GentleKiller - 24.04.2008

- Handy - 24.04.2008

you should be able to open them with notepad. im gonna fiddle around with some things later. the explosion effects and such really could use and improvement.
