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

[jrolson]

I don't believe the blood mod is in the light version. To test this I staged a siege battle and watched cannon round shot smash through stacks of infantry. Only in the full version was I able to see the blood effect (very nice btw). You may want to double check to see if the blood is actually in the light version.

I use the light version, and im able to see the cannon blood effects just fine.

I really hope to see musket blood to work in a future version.

Good job! Keep up the good work.

ok i downloaded the mod put it in my data folder and it still aint working..What am i doing wrong?

[ManUnitOn]

I incorrectly stated that the light version of the mod did not contain the blood effects. Not sure how I missed them before but they are definitely working. Keep up the good work mech

Amazing.

Good looking out on having the mediafire hosted link. Many of us with certain satellite connections can not download anything from filefront. I'd appreciate it if that was kept in mind in the future.

[Kal-El]

Outstanding. Thanks!

[Conquistatore]

Really nice work!

You did extract the files, didn't you? With winzip and winrar? Just curious...

Looks brilliant, can't wait to get home and try it!

[Treehuggerish]

This is excellent! the battlefield looks so much more confusing and foggy now after a while.

Thank you very much!

Good find! Question: does anyone here know the individual who actually wrote the original British Grenadiers tune? It's often credited to "traditional". Another use of this music was of course John Tams' "Gentleman Soldier" (on the Music of Sharpe soundtrack album).

As a side note, I seem to recall watching a history documentary once about the SS regiments of WW2 and at one of the Nazi rallies this famous marching song was playing, which at first I thought was quite weird... but then again... perhaps not.

Thanks again for this awesome mod Mech_Donald! I think that R4nd0M deserves some credit for originally repacking the mod with LtChambers patch packfile method. He helped discover this way of modding and it's so much easier for us to do now thanks to him (I've already repacked my own battlefield music with my collection of fife and drum tracks edited in Cooledit pro).

You should release yours!

Please post how you installed? as the pack needs to be placed in the data folder and should work

Any chance we can get the blood mod in a seperate file.

The smoke mod full version eats up my FPS, and the light version has too many obvious graphical faults, but the blood mod is awesome.

Pweeeetttty pleeeeeeaaassse

[titanvoyager]

First of all, this is awesome, it increases the feeling of real land battles.

So I must wonder, Can you do some kind of damage terrain when a cannon ball hits like a hole or a 2D black spot like Imperial Glory or... just something?

Need some advice here please

Do i make a copy of my ETW(through the steam ""copy yre game"" option)and Mod that copy?

or do i just extract the winrar in to my Original data folder

Im allways affraid to mod the original game

any advice would be very much appreciated !!

greetings

[lesterthenerd]

dont bother copying the original files. this pack file doesnt touch or change anything in the original pack files. just extract it to your etw data folder.

[MorganH.]

^^^Ok mate,thanks
Dling now

[MorganH.]

mmm...i found c/program files/steam ....and then what map i put it in???


would that be :steam/steamapps/common/empire total war/data

???????

[freitach]

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?
