Hi Badger,
I can't upload that texture file because I'm not registered with any upload service. I can tell you which file I used to fix the problem temporarily and you can download it at leisure.
Th!rdeye has a Weapon Hit Effects Mod that does the same thing as Maven's mod except that it tunes the eye candy with results from cannon hits. I used his CannonHitSmoke.tga texture located in the folder ..\MODS\3rdeye_Weapon_Effects\3DO\Effects\Textures\.
My ATI card has no issues with Th!rdeye's texture file and Maven's Mod works wonderfully without spazzing out my screen.
Copy that texture into Mavens texture folder (see three posts above) and rename it 12_smoke.tga. Don't forget to back up the original. The problem lies not with Mavens texture but with ATI's rendering engine.
Disclaimer: this is only a temporary fix until Maven has a chance to investigate the problem with his texture file and an apparent incompatibility issue with ATI cards. My intention is not to modify someone elses work. It is only a work around for a playability issue. Please replace the subsituted file as soon as the original author has acknowledged the problem and offered a (ATI) fixed version.
I thank both Th!rdeye and Maven for the outstanding works of art they have created and the rest of the community for making IL2 so much more interesting. You guys put the proverbial icing on the cake.
Regards,
Gromic
