Smoke and Blood Mod Thread (Last Update: 28.02.10 - Blood Mod for NTW ;) )

[MorganH.]

Ok nevermind my earlier Qs

I got it,works great !!

Thanks!!!!

[Aykis16]

uhm extracted it into my data-folder, but no effect?
Possible due I got the extracted main.pack in there and not main.pack?
Or 'cause I removed those strokes from the shots?

Shouldn't be a problem... the directory is right. Try repacking and see if that does anything.

And @Mech_Donald. Alright, I've tested it out a few more times and I've heard 6 of the 7 songs but no matter what I cant hear the one that sounds like trumpets (believe its 7). Also, I still hear the original boring just fast drums from vanilla from time to time. Aren't these supposed to replace?

Anyway great work. I've been digging through the files trying to see if I can find out how to make the music faction specific but no luck so far.

Hi Mech, when you updated your smoke mod to 2.4, did you as well made any updates to the sound mod? Or is the one from the first posting still the most current?

[twisted]

+rep.
Thanks and great job!

[hooahguy14]

is there any way i can get just the blood part of the mod? i dont think my computer will take the entire effects part (smoke and all) and i already have the sound part.

[Swiss Halberdier]

Really nice work you did with this mod!

Would it be possible to include also blood for "muskets/rifles" if they hit the soldier?

Some things :

All the smoke is very nice, but I miss the brown dirt colour, it gets a little too much white smoke, and its really laggy for me . The blood, I love it! Just want it to be when having bullets fired at you as well The music, In testing it soon

[aorda14]

my guys just do drum roll....no fife or marching cadence

[helmersen]

Ok, I tested the music too. First of all, I love the music, but why do they only play it when you are attacking, and then they stop when you fire? The sound on it is too low and it only works for one unit and a time. Think you can fix that?

[asmorrey1]

music was for marching, music would have gotten in the way of order etc on top of all the normal noise of war. Plus if you were a band, Would you want to play as shot wizzed by you? i know i wouldn't!

[helmersen]

The drummer guy dont have a gun, so yes, I guess I would have played, given my friends a moral boost instead of standing still waiting for death to come get me.

[Dimitri_Harkov]

Great mod. Have some +rep!

Cheers,
D.

[TheGreatNazgul]

Great mod! How can i give you +rep? I would if i knew how to. EDIT: Have found it.

But can you tell me how to disable the blood part of the 2.4 version? I'd like to have no gore and blood in my game.

PS: What I Wonder too: Is this compatible with a save game?

[Lucius Tiberius Vorenus]

since this is a patch.pack file, does it contain ONLY the files for smoke, blood, and sounds?

My problem is I have modded all unit sizes in my patch.pack file, as well as some stats. I'm not familiar with how pack files work, as far as overwriting.

If I drop your file, and overwrite my old one, will it overwrite everything or just smoke/blood/sounds.


Oh yeah I have your drum and fife mod already, and its working. Any chance you can list all three of your mods as three separate downloads. Like I said drum and fife is installed and working, I dont want to take a chance of breaking it with a new install.

[snipa]

its realy great! thnx!

[doejoe]

Actually I'm pretty sure I've seen a drummer shooting from his drumstick. Sneaky people, those musicians.

[Nordmann]

Drums were used for relaying orders, just as bugles were, given the noise of battle it would be easier to hear these than shouted orders.

[Hms-Clan]

Okay so how exactly do you apply this Mod, I tried to save it to my desktop and then I dragged it/them over to the data file in Empire Total War. Yet nothing has happened.

[Sir Winston Churchill]

I got Empire via Steam. Where do I find this data folder? -.^

Never mind, I figured it out.
