PFC_Mike 2 Posted July 3, 2003 Most explosions on the battlefield don’t involve a lot flame. Hand grenades, tank rounds, and cannon rounds don’t burn when they hit a building, the ground, people, or even other vehicles. When the vehicle’s fuel and ammo go off, then there is a lot of flame. Basically, in a future version could you limit the flame to having all tanks/vehicles burn if there is fuel or ammo in them? The actual explosions would be better to be just dirt and dust colored. This isn’t directly related to the explosion mod but perhaps you could make the launch of an RPG be tied to the creation of a cloud of smoke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn’t directly related to the explosion mod but perhaps you could make the launch of an RPG be tied to the creation of a cloud of smoke. Because of only one "class Explosion" handles all explosion effects in config.bin not easy to find the balance that every type of ammo be exploded nicely. (For example if I want to make a bigger flame for grenades, it will raise the flame size of rest of them) As I know only one way have to change flame of one type of ammo, to change it's hitpoints. Bigger point effects bigger flames. But beyond at certain point it will destroy the realism of game. Besides we could shape the explosion effects further if trying to change values in "class Explosion". Today I made some alternative explosion modifying values. If somebody feel willingness to do this, here is the key values that worth to change (in the editable config.cpp find "class Explosion" part): - cloudletAlpha: density of explosion (or flames) - cloudletFadeOut: time while explosion fading out - cloudletMinYSpeed and cloudletMaxYSpeed: Upspeed range of explosion - size: size of one flame - sourceSize: spread of explosion (I fixed the to much flame coming out of trucks) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sxep 0 Posted July 3, 2003 It´s cool an all, but i freaken still get the error message i posted on the screen at the first page. Think i have to live with that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PitViper 0 Posted July 3, 2003 I have to agree with PFC_Mike. I think this should be called "movie explosions" and not "realistic explosions". I think the defaults are more realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PitViper 0 Posted July 3, 2003 Quote[/b] ]Fingers crossed that the Super Config team can get all of these things into their config.bin, as well as a number of variants which cater for all possible combinations ;) We have a good number in things in there however we are still discussing how many variants we will release. Quote[/b] ]Would it even be possible to have a kind of menu selection script built into the super config that would allow you to selectively enable/disable various features from within the one mega config file, such as dynamicrange, blood, inquisitorsHDweapons, and the newExplosions? I don't believe that is possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PFC_Mike 2 Posted July 3, 2003 Maybe it would be better to remove color from the grenade explosions. But for obvious reasons a gas station is going to go up in flames, lots of them. 2nd picture from bottom (Mortar I think) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burningfire is an addon, i think it´s from CAT(_SHET) Search for CAT in opf.cz i´m sure you´ll find some of his stuff, it must be in some pack of him i think.

goldmember 0 Posted July 5, 2003 Burningfire is 'my addon' (but is it true it's came from CAT's).This addon is stored in GMR.pbo which is in version 1.1. These error occured when you use my testmission? If yes please edit that mission.sqm and check the first 3-4 row. addOns[]= { }; If you see there "Burningfire" here please delete it. Something unique problem could be because only you report that!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
