fincuan 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Good and np You might also want to look at checking the config against the muzzle and not the weapon, so that weapons with multiple muzzles work correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opticalsnare 12 Posted January 18, 2011 Right ok fixed the rest of the stuff, seems to be working properly so far "crossfingers", the solution was in front of us the whole time. Anyway ive started the epic task of editing the configs to support the new fixes which as i stated removes ALL custom ammo and magazines from the mod which should no longer conflict with other mods and enable the mod to work properly online. However this cannot be proven until tested so il release a community beta this wkend so that it can be confirmed properly. If all goes well then il release Blastcore R1.2 and R1.2 Lite... The audiomod as i stated few pages back will also need to be changed as it also uses custom ammo & magazine classes, so all these will be removed and be edited to the new method. But at the current time il focas on the current BC release to fix all issues and make that solid first. Cheers guys will keep you posted if anything comes up.

sickboy 13 Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Awesome guys! Sorry for not having gotten back to help implementing the method I proposed, been very busy, but glad to see you were able to work it out! BTW it is recommended to use Extended_FiredBIS_Eventhandlers.

So in this case N1HbX8w0Djw, which gives you [YOUTUBE]N1HbX8w0Djw) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
das attorney 858 Posted January 19, 2011 Mate, For future reference; If your URL is for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--dmLwKs_Ww You need to copy this bit (in bold): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--dmLwKs_Ww --dmLwKs_Ww And wrap it in the Youtube tags.

Opticalsnare 12 Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Yeh those effects are possible, however the increased amount of sparks/particles being created puts enormous pressure on the actual amount of particles allowed to be emitted at any given time. This causes the cutoff of older particles to occur more frequently and can be very unsuitable and generally look bad. The other way is to make the sparks or actual effects by a animation sprite to be used and made via third-party software, but again this has its own side effects. The bigger the size of the animation spirte being used the bigger the displacement of the image, this can be noticed on the GAU12 sparks, if you look at the impacts at a slight angle you can notice a slight displacement from its intended location. Theres nothing i can do about this unfortunately, and this kind of method is only used on small effects to min the displacment. Anyway made some good progress today, no problems to report so far.. Were still good to go for a beta release this friday :) Edited January 19, 2011 by Opticalsnare Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted January 19, 2011 Awesome news OS and thanks for the description. Is there any way to increase the amount of particles or lights being rendered at a time via engine tweaking or otherwise? Regardless I do strongly recommend having less smoke and more sparks behind rockets such as the Hydra. They create almost no smoke in real life but they spark like a mother******.

das attorney 858 Posted January 19, 2011 I think that's hardcoded by BIS and without access to the source code, unchangeable. It's probably there for a reason but without being able to change it, we can't see what detrimental effects increasing the particle count would have. I would guess that frame rate could dip significantly with too many particle sources alive at any given moment. OS posted some thoughts about this in the WarFX 1.4 thread some time ago. Search the forums to check it out. :) OS, I've noticed that when using an M2 tripod (for instance), the player can freelook while firing and your custom muzzleflash will drift out of proportion away from the muzzle. It's not a big deal, and something common to a lot of BIS 'floating things' like this http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_3Dcredits Just thought I'd chime in on the topic. As I say, not really a massive problem, just an anomaly. Let me know if you need me to upload a demo vid to youtube. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 4049 Posted January 21, 2011 Hey OS, question for you about Blastcore, How do I disable the loading screen at the start of the game? not that i dont like it but I'm trying to run a loading screen that gets overridden by blastcore loading screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opticalsnare 12 Posted January 22, 2011 Im not sure tbh, maybe mod order? Ive also fixed the RPT reports from the loading screens as someone reported is well. Sorry didnt release anything this friday as i stated prev, i still have a few things to finish off, i finished work late and didnt have time to finish off the mod bla bla its friday i got drunk bla bla anyway No problems to report in the actual new method which is good, i just need some more time in putting in the new config thingys for the weapons. The community test version which i hope to get ready for testing later tonight ie saturday will be the "Lite" version which has reduced smoke and dust effects etc etc. Ive also done some work on the main effects obv like smoke grenades and the TOW smoke as someone stated bla bla Some of the muzzleflashes and effects might be a bit wonky tonky still but the main things to look out for is conflicts with other mods. As this release will be focasedon solving the issues with mulitplayer issues where the gert bloody AI dont die when used with ACE and servers and crap ya know Sorry been drinking so gonna sleep and finsih off whatever and release etc. OP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
