Jackal326 1181 Posted February 14, 2006 maybe the effects could be fixed in similar way as Kegetys DXDLL?wich means, not really changing anything in the game itself, and also making it possible to turn the effects on and of during play Its not so much the engine that needs modifying to fix these, its the textures themselves. Check my original post on the 1st or 2nd page (can't quite remember where). It basically explains the main flaw, and how it can be fixed, provided someone has the time to do so. EDIT: Found my original post on page two, which for ease of your browsing, I'll quote below. Quote[/b] ]Nice hi-res smoke and fire effects. Really add a lot to combat photography images and such, but due to the "blinking" effect with the texture transitions, they're not all that practical for "action sequences" (i.e. proper game-play/videos). Nice job.By the way, to fix the "blinking" all that is required is to start off with using just one texture, and modify it slightly (until you have 30 or so subtly different textures), and then try those. The transitions should be less noticable, and the whole thing should run a lot smoother with a lot less blinking (theoretically). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nemesis6 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Ok, let me just pull this thread out of its premature grave. Is anyone working on this, does anyone have some unfinished modification of this or can we all safely say that these particles won't be perfected? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHWiiNG 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Hmm, lol, despite johns foolproof method of installing the smoke and fire effects, i cant get them to work , all i can say is that im using ECP and DMA mods at the moment.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belgerot 33 Posted May 25, 2006 I honestly have no clue how I got mine to work. I followed John's instructions, and at first they only worked with standard Res 1.85+, they wouldn't show in ECP. After a day or so, they started working while ECP was running. I have no idea how, but running the install program for the llauma's sky deleted all of those files and replaced them with original smoke and fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHWiiNG 0 Posted May 25, 2006 it works with regular OFP.. hmm, i think im glad it doesnt work with my ECP config.. lol.. i mean they are nice, but not gameplay friendly, only really good for screenshots methinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr burns 132 Posted June 28, 2006 If you look in your DTA folders there should be a copy of your old data.pbo as data.pbo.bak Deleted long ago And i don´t want to delete data.pbo´s because the installed skymod was kinda pimped and i forgot about most of the addons in there, would be a big loss really.
