Unified Effects Pack 1.0

[dsawan]

Hi, thx for this. However, i dont get the tracers for the flak effect or the white puffs. I forgot where I got them from. Is there a way to reactivate that feature? Haven't played in soooo long. Thx.

[+Stary]

I never seen tracers for FLAK, might be it was included with SF2V Air and Ground War Expansion?

[+PureBlue]

Can't remember which mod it was it., but the S-60 had, both a gun and a tracer, so you'd see the green tracers coming towards you, and the flak starts bursting. Pretty niffty I think.

I'll copy/paste the guns_data when i get home

Hi, dont remember green tracers or effect. I just remeber seeing puffs of white clouds and and non-stock flak and the sounds were different. it could be the Vietnam pak or Nato IV. I'll have to reinstall those effects and see unless someone here knows the specific files to get back. i dont have a nato standalone.

Might be AAA mod for NF 4 too... Any and ALL weaponspacks changes the effects and aliases in a way, that's why I'll have to do in my update to this pack two wersions -for standard install and with MCGunny's one -in His pack most missiles use "*airexplosion" when hitting ground targets (wchih is some effects I don't like used this particular way) while standard installs use *bombairexplosion, which with my pack works better. Pure visuals 80% of folks don't care about

[dsawan]

you're right I forgot about gunnny's ord pak. It may be from there. I will try that too. I just love those flak effects for some reason. I realy should have 3-4 separate installs to differentiate everything.

The one I was mentioning is the S-60G from the Vietnam Air and Ground Expansion Pack.

 

From S-60G_Data.ini

The flak and AAA effects you are referring to are included in the SF2 Expansion Pack, NF4+, and the SF2I '48 mod.

 

I may talk to eburger68 about a standalone AAA effects pack, but for now they're only in the 3 mods mentioned above.

 

*edit* - Oh, they're also in the Falklands mod. I'd guess they'll probably be included in most big mod packages moving forward.

Tremendous job, Stary !

 

I've been really impressed by the explosions, during bombing !

 

Thanks !

Hello Stary,

 

could you please tell what is the included WEAPONDATA.ref file for and how does it interact with the resident WEAPONDATA or even with the installed weapon mods?

[+ST0RM]

Thanks Stary. The combined pack is much easier than separate packs.

Stary,

 

I'm getting a weird effect with the flares. They seem to get a trail from one effect to another. Even more so when the opposing aircraft is popping them after I shoot an IR missile. Check out the screenshot.

 

 

Any ideas?

Same here STORM, I'm on WinXp (DX9 so).

I'm on Win7 with a 1Gb Nvidia 485.

 

Its not a show stopper, but looks odd.

I've seen this too, only with my effects, very strange

It's my reference copy I had for, oh well, specific weapons effects reference, you can delete it as I forgot to do so

[+Stary]

I've uploaded independent update that brings some new effects and corrects some that I didn't like, pending approval
