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

[gerbenboy]

The mod finally works! many thanks and it's a great mod! =D

That looks like a GFX problem to me. I'm using 'mod_BSM_4_1_Full_1_5' and don't get anything like that.


This is what it looks like in my game.

Can I ask what GFX card you are using and what your settings are in the game?

Actually, I had a nother thought when I was doing the screenshot.

What order are the mods listed in your user script file?

I''ve read elsewhere that the Blood and Smoke Mod needs to be the top of the mod list in the user.script file to work properly, otherwise some of the eefects are corrupted by the GFX effects in other pack files.

Mine currently reads:
mod "mod_BSM_4_1_Full_1_5.pack";
mod "mod_NoTrails.pack";
mod "WeaponFX.pack";
mod "7_years_war_battlepack_v1full.pack";
mod "proper_militia_v13.pack";

That might be worth checking first.

What is that weaponfx pack you have?
Thanks

It just gives the cannon and muskets a bit more whoomph!

However, I am looking to change it before I start my next campaign as I really like the cannon and musket sounds used by Kaunitz in his video's.

I have the exactly the same problem as gerbenboy had, with those funny white circles where smoke should be.

The smoke mod doesn't seem to work properly. I've removed all the other mods I had on mod manager and just left the smoke mod on and it stills doesn't run.

Any ideas?

[Didz]

None beyond those which I have already discussed above in relation to Gerbenboy's problems. I believe he eventually sorted his problems out so it might be worth working through the same procedure as he did.

The key points were to make absolutely sure that you have downloaded the right version of the Mod, that you have no other versions of the same mod (or conflicting mods) in your data folder, and that your user script file lists the right mod in the right order.

Sorry for newb question but what do I do if I only want the smoke mod? Not the blood?

[lemoynefan]

The link for the sound mod takes me to rapidshare, but it won't let me download it.. i saw it on youtube and really wanted it. does anyone know where i can download the mod somewhere else?

[Milotic]

For the blood only mod in ETW, I don't see the blood. I used the patch file because I don't use the mod manager. In NTW, I see the blood clearly. Problem?

Not sure how much BSM is being supported as a standalone anymore but I have one question. Is it possible for me to edit the mod so I don't have the cannon firing smoke effect? I like everything in BSM except the excessive smoke from cannons firing. I'm pretty savvy at editing things in the DBeditor so could somebody point me to the file I need to delete or replace or tweak to do this? Thanks.

Nevermind, looks like I asked this question a year ago (forgot) and got an answer then. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...01#post6610901

Could somebody give me the link to just the improved version of the blood in Mech_Donald's mod?
(wish i could use the smoke but my computer can't handle it)
thanks

[abuassad]

where is the link to bsm full mod? tq.

[El-Vi-Riachi]

picked up empire again and wanted to give this mod a try. What ever happened to the dense black smoke that cam from damaged forts and ships on fire? It really added something to the game now the really transparent black smoke doesnt look as effective. I really loved the thick black smoke from damaged forsts under seige, but more so on damaged ships, looked epic mid battle seeing sunken burning ships.

[Devil_Doc]

Ok, so I downloaded the mod the 4.1 full and my WinRar say's the archive is corrupted, but I'm able to extract the file into my data folder, but when I play the game the menu screen turns different colors, and some other weird stuff happens. The mod looks great! I just need help being able to use it without ruining my game.

[Hunter Makoy]

The sound mod used for this has always been my favorite. However, there are some new mods that have better cannon sounds, but none that have better musket sounds. Is the musket sounds available on their own, or is there an easy way to delete the cannon portion and use it with Diggy's Arty sounds for example?

[Hambi]

guys, might be a stupid question but; does the file 1.5 on the first thread also work for version 1.6 of the game or has this new version some fixes that do not cooperate with the smoke mod?

[ScubaSteveWA]

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but is there a way to get this mod without the blood effects? The smoke effects look great, but I'm not crazy about the blood effects.

[tsaysnewusername05]

Can you make the mod compatible with Napoleon Total War bcz i love them so much~~~

[Hambi]

so the last 8 posts were all questions and no answers, so I guess its hopeless to wait for any response...

[General Hizzy]

Cool
