Blastcore: Phoenix 2

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the reply!

Those are all taken care of, but the problem is before that, the game doesn't properly register the mod.

When game is launched it just has it as @Blastcore-A3-Phoenix in the addons section unlike the other that it recognizes :/

You are talking about the configure->expansions menu, right? When an addon doesn't have a mod.cpp file to customize it's display in the in-game menu, then the name displayed in that menu will default to whatever the folder name is. This is normal, and the mod.cpp file is not a requirement so everything should be fine.

Look, you can actually make it say whatever you want by making a mod.cpp file for it. :D

Does this include blastcore tracers or is that a completely separate mod?

How do I fix the dots that I get when I throw a smoke grenade at closer range, anyone had that problem?

I don't know what dots you mean (screenshot) but I can say: smokes certainly look strange after you popped them.

Ok here are some screenshots.

Not really anything distracting but it is strange, no other problems though.

That is actually a known issues that was reported almost directly after Phoenix was released so I'm sure it'll get fixed.

You mean massive chunks of rock, with a completely different colour, should pop out of the soil when shooting? or are you just referring to the borderline smoke grenade smoke puffs?

Along with the "black square" artifacts that have persisted through every version of BlastCore and the smoke grenade problem mentioned above, I have noticed another issue- Dust kicked up from fired weapons (not impact of rounds, dust from weapons fired while prone) only appears for an instant.

Could be debated wether that's an issue. OS might have nerved in order not to impact preformance to much.

OpticalSnare, I have a question.

Do your beautiful particle effects affect AI's LOS? Thank you.

Only smoke grenades and vehicle countermeasures for tanks.

Just a update on wats goin on.

- Making new effects atm for aircraft hitting ground, few changes regarding the effects for explosions trying to add more randomness to the effects explosions so they don't appear the same style. Also working on extra effects for explosions to emit such as huge ammo explosions EOD style, working on shockwave ground, and working on new lighting. Quite a few things to finish off but getting better. Oh and working on a nuke.

Me reading: Randomness in explosions... "Ah, that's nice" Big EOD type stuff... "Sweet" Oh and a nuke... nuke... NUKE... NUKE... NUKE... NUKE...

If you were a woman, I'd find you, and make sweet sweet love to you all night long. But I hope this cat will suffice for now.

Sounds awesome! Would it be too much to ask for a quick hotfix for the smoke grenade's weird grid puff? It really irks me every time I see it, especially because I see so many smoke grenades.

That's unfortunate but thank you for the answer.

Do you know if BIS vanilla explosions and dust effects affect AI LOS? Thank you!
