Javelin Ground Impact Gone?

[Garensterz]

I dont know if they changed this for the 2.1 version, but I am not seeing any javelins stick out to the ground anymore. However, arrow impacts are still there but not javelins or pillums.


I just noticed this after downloading the crimson tide for EB II(gives me the though that this might causing this). But I wasn't a hundred percent sure because I wasn't really paying attention on the ground impacts (too focused on the battle tactics) when i downloaded the latest version of EB.


So, any of ya guys know how to bring this back? Just the javelins and pillums.

Edit: Correction, even arrows disappears but not entirely. Arrows only disappear for a few seconds.

I wish arrows disappeared for me. After a while there are thousands of arrows in the ground and they negatively impact frame rates.

[Garensterz]

I have a pretty decent rig, so I really wanted it back.

[Garensterz]

Alright here's what happened. I have managed to make the arrows stay on the ground for a long amount of time by editing the descr_effects. However I cant seem to find the one for javelins and pillums. Someone knows where I can edit these?

[Thuycidides]

Can you describe how I would remove the persistence of arrows in the ground? Thanks!

[Garensterz]

look for descr_effects_impacts then "effect_ground_arrow_impact" fade time to whatever you want.


A little help on the javelins guys please? I would be very thankful if someone gives time on pointing me out the javelin ground impact.

Hey man what file do you go to in order to edit arrows to dissapear?

Hey man what file do you go to in order to edit arrows to dissapear?

descr_effects_impacts

in Medieval 2 Total War/mods/EBII/Data

Look for 'effect arrow_ground_impact' ..once opened, use CTRL + F and type it in there for quicker searching.

Edit the number where it says fade_time 300 change the 300 to something smaller, like 3 (which is 3 seconds before they start to fade away) or whatever number you like.

So it would look something like this

effect arrow_ground_impact
{
    type projectile
    {
        model        models_effects/arrow_projectile_ground_impact.CAS
        sort_for_speed
        clr_adjust_by_ambient_intensity


        fade_time    3
    }
}


effect arrow_wall_impact
{
    type projectile
    {
        model        models_effects/arrow_projectile_wall_impact.CAS
        sort_for_speed
        clr_adjust_by_ambient_intensity
        fade_time    3

I changed the Javelins as well in my own which is further down the text file.

They should stil be there, in the projectiles .txt file there should be:
javelin_impact_ground_set

Which is described here: descr_effects_impacts

[Garensterz]

It seems crimson tide changes the descr_effets_impacts. I noticed it when reinstalling EB, because before I can't see the javelin_ground_set anywhere in the descr_effects_impacts file. What I did is just made a copy of the vanilla EB descr_effects_impacts, imported the crimson tide in EB then pasted back my backed up descr_effects file and thats about it .


And thanks Alin for giving time to help, I know you and the crew are very busy for the full release to finish. So good luck!

I have a problem. Even with the fade time set at 3 the arrows still not disappear for a long time.

[Garensterz]

Try changing these: effect_set arrow_impact_ground_set and effect_set arrow_impact_wall_set

Change the play time from 300 to 3. Hope this helps.
