Defining Dust/dirt effects for surfaces

[ANZACSAS Steven 395]

Hey guys,

 

I ve noticed that most addon terrains are missing their custom definitions for dust effects for specific surfaces.

Heres an example of addon terrain surfaces entered into the dust/dirt effects for air vehicles.

 

The custom addon surfaces are named "SAMountainClutter","SADesertClutter","SAGrassClutter".

 

 

 

class CfgVehicles {
class AllVehicles;
class Air : AllVehicles {
        rightDustEffects[] = {{"SAMountainClutter", "RGrassDryEffects"}, {"SAMountainClutter", "RDirtEffects"}, {"SAMountainClutter", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SADesertClutter", "RGrassDryEffects"}, {"SADesertClutter", "RDirtEffects"}, {"SADesertClutter", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SAGrassClutter", "RGrassEffects"}, {"SAGrassClutter", "RDustEffectsAir"}};
    };
};

 

For practical purposes i have only listed the addons custom surfaces above.In the config these are entered with all the other surfaces from the vanilla game.Below is how it looks with the vanilla entries aswell as the addon custom named surfaces and their various effects defined.

class CfgVehicles {
class AllVehicles;
class Air : AllVehicles {
		rightDustEffects[] = {{"SAMountainClutter", "RGrassDryEffects"}, {"SAMountainClutter", "RDirtEffects"}, {"SAMountainClutter", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SADesertClutter", "RGrassDryEffects"}, {"SADesertClutter", "RDirtEffects"}, {"SADesertClutter", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SAGrassClutter", "RGrassEffects"}, {"SAGrassClutter", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtGrassShort", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtGrassShort", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtGrassTall", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtGrassTall", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtRedDirt", "RDustEffectsAirRed"}, {"GdtField", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtForest", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtVolcano", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtVolcano", "RStonesEffects"}, {"GdtCliff", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtVolcanoBeach", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfRoadDirt_exp", "RDustEffectsAirRed"}, {"SurfRoadConcrete_exp", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfRoadTarmac_exp", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisConcrete", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisConcrete", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtStratisBeach", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisBeach", "RStonesEffects"}, {"GdtStratisDirt", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisDirt", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtStratisSeabedCluttered", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisSeabed", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisDryGrass", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisDryGrass", "RGrassDryEffects"}, {"GdtStratisDryGrass", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtStratisGreenGrass", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisGreenGrass", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtStratisGreenGrass", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtStratisRocky", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisRocky", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtStratisRocky", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtStratisThistles", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStratisThistles", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtStratisThistles", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtConcrete", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtConcrete", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtAsphalt", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtAsphalt", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtRubble", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtRubble", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtSoil", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtSoil", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtBeach", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtBeach", "RStonesEffects"}, {"GdtRock", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtRock", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtDead", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtDead", "RDirtEffects"}, {"Default", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtDesert1", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtDesert1", "RSandEffects"}, {"GdtDesert1", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtDesert1", "RStonesEffects"}, {"GdtDesert2", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtDesert2", "RSandEffects"}, {"GdtDesert2", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtDesert2", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtDirt", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtDirt", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtGrassGreen", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtGrassGreen", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtGrassGreen", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtGrassDry", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtGrassDry", "RGrassDryEffects"}, {"GdtGrassDry", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtGrassWild", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtGrassWild", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtGrassWild", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtWildField", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtWildField", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtWildField", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtWeed1", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtWeed1", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtWeed1", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtWeed2", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtWeed2", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtWeed2", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtThorn", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtThorn", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtThorn", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtStony", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStony", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtStony", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtStonyGreen", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStonyGreen", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtStonyGreen", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtStonyThistle", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtStonyThistle", "RGrassEffects"}, {"GdtStonyThistle", "RDirtEffects"}, {"GdtSeabedDeep", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"GdtSeabed", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfRoadDirt", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfRoadConcrete", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfRoadTarmac", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfWood", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfMetal", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfRoofTin", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfRoofTiles", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfIntWood", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfIntConcrete", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfIntTiles", "RDustEffectsAir"}, {"SurfIntMetal", "RDustEffectsAir"}};

	};
};

 

 

Without the custom entries the game uses the base class (class default) dust effects.Very basic effects.The bis surfaces quite often use more than one dust/dirt effect per surface so as to achieve unique effects for many surfaces.

 

Hope it helps.

If your map is using CUP it's best to add their configs as well, otherwise you break the dust on them
