.kju 3245 Posted November 21, 2007 Okay Maddmatt. I believe you for now. The old OFP movie made me remind how bad OFP looks today. Maddmatt follow your way - you know you can't make everyone happy - most important make yourself happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted November 21, 2007 Small update to version 0.52. Check first post for the link. I just added correct addon dependencies to get rid of the MP error message and make sure the mod warns you if you don't have certain required files. I also improved the rain effect a bit. This isn't a major update. Nothing else has been changed. Could the other hosts please update their mirrors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArmaVidz 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Hey Matt, do you think it's possible to create a visual shockwave in Arma? Like from bombs or tank blasts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters1807 0 Posted November 25, 2007 That would be a really cool idea, i second that Also, i dont know if this is within your realms, but the when there is an impact near you, the default BIS camera head shake isn't that great, could you make the screen shake more?

wipman 1 Posted November 25, 2007 Hi, i think that the tanks blast effect when they fire the main gun could be a bit improved, to make 'em use a fire effect like when they blow up... but lighter and much more shorter, so it may look something like this: M1A1 Firing: I think that will be pimp, but i don't know if it's possible to make it orizontal instead vertical.

LastNinja9 0 Posted November 25, 2007 This mod is just fantastic !! But I would love taller, and more long-lasting smoke. Is it even possible to make some smoke/condensation effects for planes ? Like wingtip vorticies, and condensation under heavy turns ? Something even more far fetched would be some sort of heat effect from the engines. Don't know if any of it is really possible though oh well, just thinking aloud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Nice effects that improve ArmA + rain atmosphere. Is it possible to make those black smoke fade to grey in shorter time? Sometimes its look like little burning oil rigs Another idea: some (car) crash effects only with little smoke no explosion, no flames. greetings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lee_h._oswald 0 Posted November 25, 2007 Best effect mod ever. No comic explosions, just realism! Great work, keep it up! MfG Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddmatt 1 Posted November 26, 2007 Hey Matt, do you think it's possible to create a visual shockwave in Arma? Like from bombs or tank blasts... Yes. With particle effects. Though it wont follow the terrain properly when the surface isn't flat, so I'm not sure it's worth it I could use some method to get it to follow terrain, but the results aren't too good and it hits FPS. Also, i dont know if this is within your realms, but the when there is an impact near you, the default BIS camera head shake isn't that great, could you make the screen shake more? It will take some scripting, but it should be possible. Not high priority though. Hi, i think that the tanks blast effect when they fire the main guncould be a bit improved, to make 'em use a fire effect like when they blow up... but lighter and much more shorter, so it may look something like this: I might do that It's tricky, the flash is very fast so you don't see the kind of detail as in that picture when it's in motion. But I would love taller, and more long-lasting smoke. More smoke = lower FPS I've been trying to keep the FPS hit down with that smoke, but maybe I could get it a bit taller. It is already much taller and longer lasting than default ArmA smoke. Quote[/b] ]Is it even possible to make some smoke/condensation effects for planes ?

Not sure that's possible, not without heavy scripting. Only crappy drivers crash anyway I would like to do that, but I don't think it's worth it. Don't even think I could. Would it be possible to increase rotor wash effects and dust trails from vehicles? Just a thought... Yes, but I'm not sure I should. They look good as they are, will be hard to improve them.

andersson 285 Posted November 26, 2007 Would it be possible to increase rotor wash effects and dust trails from vehicles? Just a thought... Yes, but I'm not sure I should. They look good as they are, will be hard to improve them. And it will not look good in north sahrani. Already now the dust from the car is big when you drive on a forrest road. So I think its quite good as is. Decrease it and it will not look good in the desert and make it bigger and it will not fit the northern parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LBpilot1 0 Posted November 27, 2007 I was wondering if you could add some cobra 20mm cannon effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
straubinger82 3 Posted November 27, 2007 OMG. I was stunning for this FLAK-Effekts... These would be very fine here in ArmA too. Seeing this 1. Video in a post before me, makes my eyes wet.. all those planes and stuff shown.. Here the Effeckts were the 1. Step for me in this direction, so please keep up pimpin ArmA^^. Just another thankfull user.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted November 27, 2007 Ever looked HERE at 04:15 ? Or HERE at 00:26Just great, isnt it? By the way, while we on it, can u make the water as reflecting as in the second video? The rotor effects do look good there. I guess the water effect shape and size is a bit better than in ArmA. I'll see what I can do. As for water reflections, someone with some programming skills would have to do that. I can't do that. I was wondering if you could add some cobra 20mm cannon effects. You mean the impact or firing effects? Both are planned. I was stunning for this FLAK-Effekts...These would be very fine here in ArmA too. Seeing this 1. Video in a post before me, makes my eyes wet.. all those planes and stuff shown.. The FLAK effects are not going to be in this mod. They would be better suited for an addon or another mod. I don't want to change gameplay with this mod, this way it can be allowed on public MP servers that block cheats and gameplay changing mods. I haven't done much work on this mod recently, partly because some other games have distracted me So far I've made a new weapon smoke effect that uses scripting. Unlike the default ArmA smoke effect method, this one wont get messed up in MP. Threw together a quick .50 cal effect, but not finished. As well as effects for heavy vehicle weapons like the 20 - 30mm cannons on the BMP, Vulcan, Shilka, Cobra and so on. On some of these vehicles these weapons previously had no smoke effect at all. These weapon smoke effects are a bit slower moving and longer lasting, as well as being effected by wind. They look much better IMO. No idea when I'll release it, you'll have to be patient Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
