Keinmann's Debris Effect Mod
*v1.0b*
!S everyone!
I just finished up with the "beta" version of my new debris effect mod. No longer must you look at absurd green and cartoonish looking debris from aircraft you shoot (or when you GET shot, lol)! This is definitely an improvement over the old, and rather silly looking hit debris.
I have a before and after screenshot for you to see. Keep in mind, this doesn't do justice to it, but you can at least get an idea of what it's like. These are *very tiny* .tga sprites that create this debris effect, so they are extremely low resolution. I'm going to be trying to find a way to get higher res debris without killing performance, very soon.
Before and After:
Note the ugly, and silly looking green debris in the before pic, as well as the ugly looking, cartoonish gray hunks....
It was really hard to get good screenies of this, and the new debris looks *much* better in game than in this pic. You definitely won't be seeing any more green junk zipping past your plane when you're attacking the enemy! Also note, the single pieces of debris are NOT as big as a few of them look in the "After" pic. Those are just 2 or more that appear stuck together in the pic, though they really are not. They scatter in game, and look really cool.
hock: :lol:

INSTALLATION:
Standard Windows Users:
This comes with a self-installer. If you have a normal IL-2 installation on a regular operating system, it will go straight to your "MODS" folder by default. It's a very small set of files, and installs in the blink of an eye. As soon as you extract it, you are ready to play.
Others:
If you are using some other type of operating system (like Mac or a 64bit OS), or if you have IL-2 installed somewhere besides "Program Files", you will need to click "Browse" and guide this mod into your MODS folder manually. It's very simple, and only takes a second.

Well, there you have it! I hope everyone enjoys this little, but nonetheless nice, effect! I appreciate your feedback, and I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Check back here for updates in the future. I'll also be working on some other "detail mods" like this soon. Game developers often overlook or neglect these little things like this, but those little things count! :wink:
