World War Two effects pack development screens

[+Stary 2,427]

EDIT:

This topic should go to general discussion section, my mistake, sorry

 

Hi!

 

After releasing "Enhanced explosions" I started reworking stuff on my HD to create more realistic, guncamera alike effects. This will cover most of effects from gun muzzle flashes through various bombs and rocket effects, water splashes, tracers to tank gun fires and ground hits etc. Also will include updated guns_fx released few months ago.

My aim is to create realisticly looking effects this time, and give them that old feel.

Screens below are early development WIPs, created in Battle of Britain and Burning Sands'1944 by Baltika:

 

 

 

250 lb bombs on RAF field

 

 

 

20mm cannons will do it

 

 

 

Big bada boom

 

 

 

Boston ruins the day

 

 

 

New smoke

 

 

 

And smoke tracers aswell

 

 

 

"Hilfe!"

 

 

 

Some night fights

 

 

 

Wake up call

 

 

Overall status is about 30% complete.

 

Release date yet unknown

 

Hope you'll like them

 

Cheers

Fantastic stuff, CA

 

I am loving your beta release which I now use for my WW2 installs, and it's great

 

Looking forward to the full package.

 

Great work,

Good looking stuff there!!!!!!

 

 

I moved this thread to the mods forum, since it's effects and not a campaign.

Looks good! I love the seventh pic, it looks really realistic. Keep it up!

CA_Stary,

 

I love your efx for SF1. I was wondering if you're doing a package for First Eagles?

Thanks guys for a warm response. This is what makes this community great place 2 stay around.

 

FalconCAF -I don't have FE but this package "should" work with FE. If you're using my previous fx in FE -then no problem, v.high possibility it will work.

You can always try downloading small beta posted in "Battle of Britain campaign feedback" topic by Baltika here:

looks real good CA_Stary .... and the screenies are cool too

[+Stary 2,427]

A little progress regarding water emitters, an area which I guess hasn't been bothered by anyone until now.

As always wips, bomb underwater detonations lacks shockwaves and needs tuning but the cannon water hit is near finish and framerate friendly :

 

 

 

 

 

Gonna post a "little" more next weekend

[+Baltika 84]

Looking good, CA

[Guest Saganuay82]

Your effects cause some different stuff for sure.

 

 

Now if you can make some fire effects that are a little shorter flame that sheets at times with smoke that fades in and out? Can you part the sea too? LOL

[HrntFixr 4]

Looking very good!

 

The machine gun smoke looks wicked cool

[+Stary 2,427]

Saganuay82 which one? Aircraft fire? Working on it. But like bombs it's the hardest one to develop satisfacting results. Final release will probably include few versions to pick out.

[+Stary 2,427]

Overall status:

 

about 70%

 

need some more tweaking of existing effects

 

Added new effect to unused entry in groundobject.ini ComponentDetachEffect

 

Working on various XXX_BombAirExplosion

[+Stary 2,427]

Released

 

Included experimental First Eagles version as a blind shot. If it works in FE ok -let me now

Hey CA_Scary! I've been using your beta release in BoB, Solomons and Burning Sands 1944 and they really add to the fun factor of this sim! Thank you for your hard work!

[+Stary 2,427]

Glad to hear this, keith!

As I stated these are 0.9 beta. There are few things missing like realistic (that means reduced or none) muzzle flashes and bomb hit explosions.

An aircraft explosions -I want to do this later.

 

Cheers

CA_Stary,

 

They are great in FE, I hope you'll get FE and really tweak the effects some more. The flaming crates look awesome with the black tail of smoke trailing down :)

Yes from some time I consider buying FE. Propably will wait for combo pack with announced addon.

Good to hear they do work -and thank you for being beta tester

Any screenshot possibility?

 

I uploaded version with new file structure, so anybody can pick up the kind of effects he/she wants before messing up Effects folder.

 

Also included previously missing credits for Deuces . Sorry about this

I'll post up a screenie sure. But FE freezes on me. Its the heat in the living room, that's where my PC is. So I'll try to capture some flaming crates ;)
