I don't really see how it can be related to that, but I will check.

I think it got already mentioned, but the new fx (if its them, but what else) break some maps by removing reclaimable things. Shouldn't be forgotten.

I.e. on WD one side got no big rock next to hydro.

It's currently a mix of 4DC and Firey explosion with some textures I've redone.

Looks way better without bloom!

Yay! I'll admit that my battle with the lines of code was a slow a rather fruitless one...

this is just the Firey_Explosion_Mod i linked with some (500mb) of extra textures...

i have not taken a look at them, but i will do this ASAP. it looks like you have to replace your textures. therefore, you can use the textures without the other players in your game having to use them, too...

I can vouch for this one, I don't remember any issues, but it was so awesome.

We are taking of a 100 mb mod here.

Also, need mod author authorization.

there is another fx mod, which is called "Firey_Explosion_Mod" maybe you can look into this and take something (if it is possible).

They are unambiguously bad. Can you give us names of these people? Just to know they have no taste.

I'm pretty sure a modder made a visual effects redesign mod few years ago. I will try to find back the topic on gpgnet forum.

Those new effects are not bad, but not extraordinary either.

I tested a bit. An easy way to keep the nice new weapon fx and get rid of the too flashy explosions (until someone is able to tone them down) is to restore the unit.lua and defaultexplosion.lua and erase the "explosion effects" section of the effecttemplates.lua

Code:: #--------------------------------------------------------------- # Explosion Effects #--------------------------------------------------------------- ExplosionEffectsSml01 = TableCat( FlareSml01, ExplosionDebrisSml01, TLandGaussCannonHit01 ) ExplosionEffectsMed01 = TableCat( SmokeMed01, FlareSml01, ExplosionDebrisMed01, ExplosionDebrisSml01, NapalmExplosion ) ExplosionEffectsLrg01 = TableCat( FlareSml01, SmokeLrg01, ExplosionDebrisLrg01, NapalmExplosion, TLandGaussCannonHit01 ) ExplosionEffectsDefault01 = ExplosionEffectsMed01 ExplosionEffectsSml02 = TableCat( FlareSml01, ExplosionDebrisSml01, NapalmExplosion, TLandGaussCannonHit01 ) ExplosionEffectsMed02 = TableCat( SmokeMed01, FlareSml01, ExplosionDebrisMed01, ExplosionDebrisSml01, TLandGaussCannonHit01 ) ExplosionEffectsLrg02 = TableCat( FlareSml01, SmokeLrg01, ExplosionDebrisLrg01, BigExplosion, NapalmExplosion, TLandGaussCannonHit01 ) DefaultHitExplosion01 = TableCat( FlashSml01, FlareSml01, TLandGaussCannonHit01, SmokeMed01 ) DefaultHitExplosion02 = TableCat( FlashSml01, FlareSml01, SmokeSml01 ) ExplosionEffectsAir = TableCat( FlashSml01, FlareSml01, FireCloudExplosion ) DefaultHitExplosionAir = TableCat( FlashSml01, FlareSml01, FireCloudExplosion )

I would also personnally remove the "reclaim effects", the flash is too big, there is no need to increase this effect.

#---------------------------------------------------------------
# Reclaim Effects
#---------------------------------------------------------------
ReclaimBeams = {
EmtBpPath .. 'reclaim_beam_01_emit.bp',
EmtBpPath .. 'reclaim_beam_02_emit.bp',
EmtBpPath .. 'reclaim_beam_03_emit.bp',
}

ReclaimObjectAOE = { '/effects/emitters/reclaim_01_emit.bp' }
ReclaimObjectEnd = { '/effects/emitters/reclaim_02_emit.bp' }

After that, a big problem remains : the ugly fire fx for trees that also doesn't destroy trees enough when the ACU spaws. I can't find what needs to be changed / reverted to get the normal fire back.

EDIT: since this thread is about testing new fx, I'm posting here a new fx for the cerberus / rhino shot.

EDIT2: if the poptree.lua is modified too, it should be restored to prevent the (ugly) fire to not destroy trees enough when ACU spawns.
