Changing MGFF smoketrails
« on: December 18, 2011, 09:58:25 AM »
HELP!

Cause I'm not so clever about class files work could someone change the smoketrails of the the 20mm MGFF so it can use the 3D spiral smoke effect instead of the actual one?

I only know that in MGunMGFFs.class file the smoketrail effect is pointed to "effects/Smokes/SmokeBlack_BuletteTrail.eff".

To have the correct spiral smoketrail (that one made by philip_ed/Eexhaton) like the MG151 I think that the related lines must be changed to "3DO/Effects/Tracers/TrailCurved.eff".

The ash file is 9CF2C1F6BDE9F6FA and is contained into the DBW's XTD folder.

I hope someone would be so kind to do this changes for me and anyother interested in it (CWMV perhaps).

Thank you in advance!

Regards

Why change the classfile if you can change the effects file?

Yep, those guns all share the same SmokeBlack_BuletteTrail.eff for their effects.
So change that, and they all get the new effect.

It was planned to be done anyway...

But later on canceled it, because too many planes with this effect enabled will really kill your game...
Something with the dreaded particle limit..

2nd point to cancel it, was that the 3D spiral only looks good directly from behind it, never really solved that problem.
So, be my guest and get someone to do it, but; on your own risk ;)

Here it is:
Link removed, a new version is out...

I think it's better to update your HGuderian_Weaponsmoke mod with it instead of everybody download it here. ;)

Edit: It's my first classfile mod. :)
