Some weapons don't have effects.

[liamp51 6]

Hi all,

 

I was playing around with the F-111A today and set the load-out to 12 CBU-72B Fuel air explosive bombs and dropped the. I was expecting a napalm effect, but got no effect at all. I have Stray's BEAUTIFUL Unified Effects Mod 1.0 for SF2. Is there a way I can manually add the effect for weapons that don't have effects? Also: I am doing a cockpit re-paint for the F-111A and need to know the creator of the cockpit so I can give him credit.

 

Thanks!

the creator of the cockpit left the community some years ago. Go for it

 

adding effects to weapons is a simple edit of each weapons' data ini. Look to one that has effects (stock CBU or napalm, for example) to see how they sit

As my memory serves, FAE effect was included with Deuces Effect Pack 2 or 3 but these are long gone with his site. Try searching in older Weapons Packs (for series 1) or use one of standard effects (mediumbombairexplosion would fit well) I will include one in an update to Unified Effects but not sure when it'll be ready.

 

as for changing weapons effects, here's example from HunterNapalm100Gal_data.ini :

the highighted line sets the effect for given weapon upon exploding, try napalmexplosioneffect for your CBU-72 :

the above will give you napalmexplosion effect to your lovely CBUs as explosion effect
