Small mod that changes the effect on the cannon hits to a more realistic effect seen in guncam footage and pilot reports. For now its just a cannon hit effect mod. but i plan to improve the smoke from the hits, new flash effect, and possible new debris from the hit for many more weapons. This mod affects ALL CANNONS

Also changed the Rocket Smoke trail to be more realistic.

Now please remember. This is a WIP. I'm still working on perfecting it.

Before Installing any new versions of my mod, PLEASE delete any other versions to avoid problems.

TO INSTALL:
Open the downloaded .zip
Choose which smoke you would like and open that .zip (See videos for difference)
Extract the "3rdeye_Weapon_Effects" folder into your "MODS" folder

Now, if you have a weapon mod by Josse, This will cause conflicts. To be able to use my mod with his, Simply...

Right click in your mods folder.
Choose, "Arrange Icons by Name"
My mod should be first. If its not, rename the folders in front of mine to another name so that they will be lower down the alphabet i.e "1946 Weapon mod" to "Weapon Mod 1946". The wrapper reads the mods is in alphabetical order, so if his mod is in front of mine, it will not work.
This is how it should look when arranged by name.

edited to stress what this does, note; THIS IS NOT A WEAPON MOD BUT AN EFFECT MOD

Yes, a screenshot please. A look before a download is always nice
I hope that this mod continues to go well for you.

[Th!rdeye]

A screenshot doesn't do it justice. Since the effect is so quick.... but heres some anyway.

[RAF_Magpie]

Perhaps embedding a video of the effect might be better...?

[Th!rdeye]

Working on it....

Now embedded; all you need to do is paste the HTML code you're given on the right of the YouTube page.

[Th!rdeye]

I thought this site didn't allow embeds...... Did you just recently allow it?
