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

FalconCAF 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

File Name: WW2 Effects Pack version 0.91 File Submitter: CA_Stary File Submitted: 2 Aug 2007 File Category: Weapons Mods/Skins Some graphic files in this package were created by Deuces or are modified versions of those created by him. My apologize to him for ommiting this info in first release. This version called 0.91 has new file structure allowing you to chose the effects you want, as suggested by Saganuay82. I get rid of the new sounds as they don't seem to work Click here to download this file

Included new version of mine "new guns hit effects". Detailed effects list and infos in ww2_effects_readme.txt Hope you'll like it. Click here to download this file

Saganuay You want to completely get rid of new tracers? The best way is to remove "tracersmokeemitter.ini", "Tracer20MMEmitter.ini" and "Tracer23MMEmitter.ini" from Effects folder. Then you should open bulletobject.ini in Objects folder and for every gun from 20mm up change like in example: [20mmEffects] TracerEmitterName=TracerXXEmitter to TracerEmitterName=TracerSmokeEmitter

Great! Thanks a lot on behalf of all soviet CAS lovers!

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

Hi Saganuay! Surely. If you want get rid of them, simply remove or replace these files: LargeBombEffect.ini MediumBombEffect.ini SmallBombEffect.ini VeryLargeBombEffect.ini All files of course in Effects folder

It's merged into latest Weapons Pack by Bunyap dated 03 Jul 06: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=2672

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

Fubar, what's your system, please?

As for Lexx Luthor's effects they are available here at Combat Ace in the weapons mods/skins section for quite a long time now. And yes, they look definitely great. The only hard thing I remember was the installation process, which was a bit troublemaking but i may be wrong at this. Highly recomended anyway.

I got my copy in early January. Played for two weeks, mostly online. Now she's resting on shelf awaiting some serious patches and new system. I'm going to give her another chance in future. But rather a dissapointment from a CWC vet&lover point of view.

HI! Yes I got most of the ships from here, I was wondering if Baltika gonna add nodes for some cruisers/battleships to BS. I'm not good at campaign editing (frankly haven't looked into *.inis) As for italian WW2 ships by Hinch there are Caesar and Cavour IIRC avaible here at CA, athrough they are not updated to SP4 I think

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

That's a bunch of crafts out there! Really impresive. No rush on release date, mate. You say no Seafires in incoming release, fine, but it indicates that next version will include some carrier ops (and even CAT launches)? Ah yeah one suggestion -more historic ships, can we have those? And maybe earlier Bf-110's But it's up to you. Cheers CA_Stary

Hi Baltika! Just wondering which new A/C will be included in 1.01? S!

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.

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

Yeah, but my personal favourite was old Sudden Strike. Sad it never made it to new standards.

Keith's true, Baltika rocks

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: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?act=a...ost&id=4244 Cheers CA_Stary

It depends. Flying campaign -on runway, for immersion and complexity. Sometimes I do warp (when it's WW2 stuff). Testing new addons or doing my own experiments or effects -a lot of single missions, both random or my creations.
