Improved torch flame

[Santiago de Pola]

Ever since I started playing Medieval 2, it always bugged me how soldier torches were burning weak and lame!

So I decided to add an extra flame to it(increased size and some other parameters)! Here's how it looks now..check the thumbs!

Made night battles a bit more fun for me!

To install place the file into SS/data folder, to uninstall just delete it!

-save compatible..
-applies to all units in the game
-all SS mods compatible(since I think this file wasn't modified yet)

Flippin' Pyromaniac!

Downloaded. Another lovely tweak.

I'll have to re-shoot my avatar, now- any idea how long it took for me to get a decent shot of the torch?

Thanx..I played with fire some more!

Haha..no idea how long! It is rather small, I don't even see what's on it! But you have the permission to use my "after" thumb if you want a good torch pic!

Is it possible to make more soldiers hold torches?

Hmmmm, interesting question..I'm not sure though! :hmmm: Will take a look at it..

edit: I checked it up, but think it is hardcoded!

Yes thank you. Cause it seems pointless with so little troops wielding the torches....there is hardly any light at all when you zoom out.

Check the edit in previous post!

Yeah..well the lighting bugged me too! Cause it seemed to me that torches should emit more light! So I tried tweaking it, but didn't get the wanted result..as when I increased the the lighting output of the torches, by some significant amount, the light became too bright and greenish, especially when one selects the unit!

The light output of torches is however increased by a small amount than in vanilla!

I have put the file in Stainless Steel_6\Data, but there was no other file to overwrite. I have searched and I do not have that file. is this correct?

Yup! It's because that file wasn't changed before..

I list this in my must have mods...

UPDATED!

..some time ago, but just to let people know..

Unit light removed, because of strange glow that occurred with multiple units stacked together..and quite useless IMO.

Light now comes only from torches!

Nice one Santiago, like it loads, will add it to my game.

It appears that you are a person who likes fire.

How about a nice long flame from a cannon, when it fires?

Didn't thought of modding that..guess it didn't bug me as torches did!

But if I decide(and manage) to do something about it, you'll be the first to know!
