Permanent projectiles minimod for TATW 3.2 with better torch lightning. Compatible with BS mod compilation and MOS 1.12:)

[Anorfwael]

hey zax I tried your new file and it's working, I got a battle where the ennemy had 3 full stacks, over 6000 and I had 2000 archers...
at the end of the battle, the FPS were very slow ^^

anyway, still a problem of angle :
when arrows are fired above the wall, they arrive on the floor as if the angle was 20° in spite of 75/90°.

Also, when firing at the gate I can see arrows floating on nothing,
another thing : catapults firing like mortars (so weird ^^) with the accuracy mod I think.
and finally, do you know why there are so much problems with archers on walls and if I can fix them ?
Example : Dol guldur, my stupid archers fire in the sky, at about 90°, in spite of firing very low, like -45° (or 315° if you prefer).

Thanks !

shameless bump, MOS added, see 1st post

I don't understand how I suppose to do this step:
3) unpack mod\data archive into \Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data
click yes when asked to overwrite

Compatible with the latest MOS?

just wondering

[SRACon17]

i think this is already in MOS. you can see that since the arrows stick in the ground during battle.

If you merge descr_projectile.txt it should be; the other files are fine.

It's not in MOS no, as it slow down the game very much with all those arrows staying on the battlefield, it's just not worth it.

Actually even the descre_projectile.txt is updated for 1.3, so just replace everything and it will work.

Also you can add it as a enable/disable future for PCs that can handle it . It is a nice little future to have for immersion and realism purposes.

I havnt tried large battles with arrows flying everywhere so maybe you are right.

Is that the current MOS v1.2 made 2012 the OP is refering to or the original MOS 1.2 made ages ago?
Just making sure as I do not know when the MOS-submod was updated
If the former that's

[Granatenwerfer]

I like your mod very much! It is a good idea to see arrows and projectiles sticking in the soil!

I play Vanilla M2TW. I adopted your code and it works, except for the Javelins. Javelins are not displayed.
In descr_effect_impacts.txt I found the following code and I changed the green lines:

effect javelin_ground_impact
{
    type projectile
    {

        ;model        models_effects/ground_weapon_javelin_high.CAS
        model        models_effects/arrow_projectile_ground_impact.CAS
        ;model        models_effects/weapon_javelin_high.CAS

        ;sort_for_speed
        ;clr_adjust_by_ambient_intensity

        fade_time    3000
    }
}

When I use the 2nd green line, I clearly see arrows sticking in the soil. When I use the 1st I see nothing.
The file ground_weapon_javelin_high.CAS is at the right place. I assume there is a problem with the .cas file.
Please help. Is it right the file has 1KB only? The arrow_projectile_ground_impact.CAS has 3 KB.

Sorry, the directory with the textures was missing....all works good,now.
My post is scrap.
