How to reduce dust ?

**Lindwurm** · January 21, 2012, 07:36 AM

I've noticed that any unit movement produces really TONS of dust! Even in the grassland. And it is much more dust than in vanilla Kingdoms. Is there any way to reduce the dust ? What files need to be modified ?

Bumping this to the first page as i'd also like to know. Reducing the "effects" quality has no effect

I'm not sure but they even produce dust when they are walking throw the water, LOL

So, it is no solution ?

to remove dust delete the file C:\Games\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\descr_particle.txt or just rename it to "-descr_particle.txt"

to reduce dust, edit the values marked with bold:

type dust
action accel_simple, 0.7, 0.0, 0.7
action advance
action damping, 2.16
action age_to_limit 8
action colour_shift, 181,179,178,200, 131,120,95,200, 0.23 ;0.045
action expand_param, 0.8
action max_particles, 3000
renderer quad_fade, 0.01, 0.1, 0 before it was 0.1 and 0.9
renderer_class blended
anim 1, 0, do_not_loop
texture data/battlefield/cloud_sprite.tga
texture_frame 0,1, 1,1, 1,0, 0,0
