Battlefield Smoke Mod version 1.2
for Darthmod version 4.1++ and above
(29.05.12 - No new version, but a small update to fix a bug with too big oar-watersplashes
and fixed color for sea foam in front of ships)
Hi!
My Battlefield Smoke Mod improves the most and important special effects in Shogun 2: TW, Rise Of The Samurai and Fall Of The Samurai. Nearly all explosion-, fire- and smoke-effects are changed or improved for a more immersive and athmospheric gameplay. Enjoy!
To give you an imagination what awaits you on the field of glory, you can watch my trailers and preview-videos below.
Have fun!

To play with Darthmod just download BSM for Darthmod and extract the files from the 7zip archive to the data folder of shogun 2. Darthmod must be installed first! That's it. Thanks goes to DARTH VADER for his support and the permission to adapt his mod-files to work with my BSM.
Please read the readme.txt for installation instructions!
At this Point, i have to say a BIG, BIG THANK YOU VERY MUCH to Satyrus, who kindly gave me the bloodpack dlc to enhance the blood effects in future releases and Valky, who donated me the Fall of the Samurai addon!!! We all have to thank you for such a friendlyness and helpfulness!
The mod won't work correctly, if you have other mods installed, wich modifies one of the following files:
landbattle.xml
projectile_tables
particle_effects_tables
projectile_impacts_tables
projectiles_explosions_tables
Textures in the Effects\Textures folder.
If you want to use my mod as part of your mods, please ask for permission, thanks!

Hi!
I uploaded version 1.2 for Darthmod again because of a small bug with oar watersplash effects in Shogun 2 (Thanks to Wind for telling me). Furthermore i fixed the color appearence of sea foam in fron of ships to white. No more brownish watersplash in front of ships.
I don't renamed it to a new version because i added no new effects. So if you are annoyed of brownish and too big watersplashes, just redownload my mod.

I think the visual aspect would be the same. But i don't know how its affect DM as well. It might become a mixture of dm 4 & dm 4.1. DARTH VADER can tell you a lot more about. Why don't you want use DM 4.1?

Mech, your mod is finally included in DarthMod. If there is an update, change its name to "DMS_BSM_Shogun.pack" so that the DarthMod launcher can enable/disable it.

I totally love your background music choice for trailers Mech_Donald! Planescape: Torment credits music for S2:TW and World of Goo soundtrack unexpectedly, after a careful timing, make great battlescape background
Now I only have to upgrade my PC to finally be able to cherish all those explosions
