Given your grasp of howitzer related modding (and the fact that I know almost nothing about the subject myself) I though I'd ask if it would be possible to add shrapnel shot to howitzers? Even if it wasn't possible to add a whole new shot type, would it be possible to reduce the explosive power of shells and add lots more fragmentation to produce a similar effect? It would be nice seeing airbursting shells dumping their shot into an advancing column.

I had a look at adding extra shot abilities to artillery last week and Its seems that the max abilities you can have is three(including the barrage and accurate fire abilities).I think it a case of remove one to make room for the new.I tried to add round shot to Russian unicorns and was unsuccessful.
Regarding shrapnel shot,I looked in the projectile tables and it seems the shrapnel shot abilitly has been removed altogether.But It wouldn't be too hard to recreate it,but at the exspense of one of the other abilities.
I will investigate further and see what I can come up with.

That would be very much appreciated. If anything I think the targeted fire could be done without - I've never really noticed the difference in accuracy when I use it.

I have copied the Realisticexplosions_noairburst.pack in the data folder.
but unfortunately in the game does nothing?

what have I done wrong?

what the difference between Realisticexplosions_noairburst.pack and Realisticexplosions.rar is?

Which is better?

I've got the same problem as M@gic. I copied realisticexplosion to data folder and adding 'mod xxxxxx' to scripts, and nothing changing.

Guys, could you put some more screenshots of the explosions of the mod?

**M@GIC** · March 31, 2010, 12:04 PM

can not tell us how to do it so it works?
I see no change in the game

I have added a new version where you don't need to add/edit the user.script file
just remove the version you have now from your data folder and replace with the new one posted at the begining of this thread. Use the movie_RealisticExplosions.rar or movie_RealisticExplosions_noairburst.rar

the 'no airburst' version make all shells and rockets explode on impact instead of ramdomly exploding in the air-This makes explosive shot and rockets more deadly,expect more casualties.

**M@GIC** · March 31, 2010, 03:31 PM

why they have changed the keyboard settings?
battle, Campain are not there any more commands?
should indicate something like it when they change something like that!
Can they recover?

Since I have copied the data folder mod in all of my settings in the game away?! Why did you change the settings in the game?
And the mod not wrong with me!!!!!!
HELP

**WILLIEHUNTZ** · April 01, 2010, 01:14 PM

There is no way My mod could've changed any settings in your game.are you sure you have not deleted your preferences script by mistake.
nobody else has had any problems with this,it must be something you have done.
Your posts are not very clear.Tell me what exactly has happened and I will try and help
