Did you post the Info in the Troubleshooting thread?

Furthermore the crashes causes my game to freeze, maken my screen go black.  And haven a sound loop.

Hafto hard reboot to fix.

I have the same problem since I installed my new sound card, but I don't use this mod.

[niQ® 0]

you can make the smoke white rather than black??

[Deathstruck 375]

Aye great effect mod, however I am still getting insane dust from the small arms. I am currently playing the Tomb addon and 2 bullets hitting the wall from Val+Cobra Rifle causes so much dust I can see sh*t in those tomb corridors

Can somebody tell me what to do ? Telling me what to edit would be enough

EDIT: Now I have discovered that it happens wit every weapon. BIS, RHS, Vilas....

[andersson 285]

Yup, to much smoke imho to. The smoke looks good, but should appear in smaller amount. I have never experienced this much smoke in real life. Maybe it should disappear faster?

[wipman 1]

Hi, those big smoke clouds also obscure completly a unit at 150m

if your first bullet hit the ground in front the unit that was over his

knee; it's the only bad thing that the ArmaEffects have for me. Let's C ya

[Maddmatt 1]

I haven't done any ArmA modding for over 2 months due to not having access to my PC. And I've been busy with other stuff recently.

Looking at it now, I agree about that smoke being overdone. I'll reduce it when I work on the mod again.

Also, the bullet impact sparks, what do you guys think about them? Should I reduce them even more or just remove them? Maybe just get rid of that centre part that looks like a flash?

I was playing online in public servers a bit recently, nice to see that this mod is pretty popular. I see a lot of people join servers with "@ArmAEffects" in their mod line and the servers I tried accepted my signature

Hi Maddmatt! Is it possible to remove the impact sparks on infantry(coz it looks a bit cartoonish)? The sparks on vehicles are fine.

[Maddmatt 1]

Hi Maddmatt! Is it possible to remove the impact sparks on infantry(coz it looks a bit cartoonish)?...

You can do that yourself by going into the video options and turning blood on, just like with vanilla ArmA.

When you turn blood off, then infantry are going to have the same impact effect as any other object or vehicle. That's just ArmA, nothing I can do about that.

[Makake 0]

Remove sparks. As ArmA does not distinguish between Wood, Concrete and Metal surfaces, it looks rather odd having trees spawn sparks when being hit. Otherwise remove the big centre spark. The other ones are not that much irritating (especially from a distance).

One other question: I have used ECS recently. There's a problem concerning fire FX on burning vehicles when using your fine mod, too. I already wondered when DM Smoke came out: isn't it possible to work together to incorporate the best FX for ArmA available? Maybe now with ECS with the optiom to turn them on and off when needed. I use all 3 mods together and they - IMO - enhance ArmA that much, as if it were a new game. But there's still some flaws of compatibility, as it seems. And I still don't like the FuelFireFX from DM , while the rest of the mod is great and mixes very well with yours.

[Deathstruck 375]

Hey Matt Payne can you please tell me what should I edit to lower that dust a bit ?

[mrcash2009 0]

Sparks is a bit like rain (although now the reain is superb ).

Maybe have the sparks element as a moduled pbo /on or off like rain? I don't mind it at all, just thinking about the split down the middle on taste issue

[kuIoodporny 45]

Again: question about multiple guns for AH-6, ZSU-23-4 and Camel. Could the particles position be reset same way as muzzles in SDP_Vehicles? It's a shame that it doesn't work same as bullets

Eventually - is it possible to catch smoke particle to setPos it together with bullet?

[Deathstruck 375]

sorry for hi-jacking but can somebody tell me how can I tone down that goddamn smoke ?

At least tell me what should I edit, I will do the rest

If you know how to edit configs, it's "class impactcloud" or something like that.

I'll try to get a minor update out soon with the smoke reduced. I've just been busy with other things.

Getting that working seems to be more work than I originally thought, that's why I haven't done it yet.

Nope. You gotta put the particle in the right position in the first place

Give me a week or so for the update with impact smoke reduced.

Then I can finally call this done

I like the sparks. Especially when shooting haevy MGs on tanks etc. And you do not get sparks when hitting infantry, it is when the inf weapon is hit.

So if it is removed and can be done in sep, pbo like rain, id be happy.

Thanks for fixing the smoke thing Matt.

Regards

Alex

I agree .... I like the sparks. Remember this is a GAME after all, and a little bit of UNrealism (sparks on wood) aint gonna kill us !

Keep up the good work Matt. Your work has been on my config line almost since the start !

New version released

Check first post for info and download link.

New in 1.1:

*Sparks toned down again

*Modified impact effects - smoke reduced and changed blood impact again

*Missile/rocket smoke trail modified, shorter with fewer, larger particles - less performance impact now

Probably the last update. Hopefully there are no more real issues
