Yeah I agree, but having tried it Isee only the dust that is gone, also works on high setting

Cool!Thanks! I will try

Well done Zowrath great mod, made my day

+REP - GREAT WORK!!!

On High settings dust is still present :-( Really horrible feature. In CA have some strange feeling about how arrows work or maybe they think they explode after impact......

**zowrath** · March 21, 2011, 10:37 AM

Well, I think I have narrowed it down to projectile_impact_tables and possibly the effect Musket_impact_soft, but I can't be sure. Point is I need to replace that with some other value and it doesn't seem to be an option for blank or none. Though it would be cool to insert Lightning_strike instead and see how that turned out

Perhaps Toon can shed some more light on this, as he's done work on blood.

I did the blood mod so long ago now (1 year ago!) that I have forgotten myself what to do!!! Would it not be possible to use "Radious No Dust" mod from Napoleon? or will this not work? thanks Toon

I have no idea about porting that mod, as looking at the DB's there are a lot of changes to parameters. I'll keep looking into it though.

Thanks, really appreciate this!

Oh i completely forgot on my no dust mod. But since i am not good in hex editing i cant do much in Shogun yet. So maybe you can look into it and try removing it if its possible. Shogun has no more dust when units move, but this arrow impact dust can be similiar maybe.

**zowrath** · March 21, 2011, 11:16 AM

Well, I wonder if this file emp_dirt_burst_static_diffuse.dds, under effects\textures, may be the actual effect? So if anyone with any skill for editing graphics perhaps they could just edit it out?

I'm not sure if just having an empty file is enough really as that is not my domain

EDIT: Never mind, didn't work....

It also removes those annoying clouds that make everything further away wabble and "shake", if that's the right word.

The only thing I noticed bad about this mod is arrows are now really hard to see, but that's not the fault of the mod. Good work.

A texture? If so I can't find it anywhere....

Great mod

, but that download link is horrible.. There's 3 different download buttons, all are ads, until you find the "real" download button.

Please use something else next time

Hehe, it's the big button right under the description that says 'Regular download'

Sendspace is free, been using it for years, and like it.

Yeah, it's a hoodwinker site.
