[REL] CPlosion mod V4 (23-03-2015) 79600

If I could add the slightest amount of ambient lighting to dark nights so that you could faintly see things...

PA would look amazingsauce.

You got some picture for me? I can't use the dark nights mod since it'll interfere with the amd brightness fix. Kinda curious how those coloured exlosions look like in the dark >.>

any pic from the screenshot wars thread.

Updates this one to V3 last night

The dox changes from the stable build have been copied over to CPlosion. So it really is neccesary to update this to V3.
Also there was a light ray bug which caused some gliching when you zoomed in and out of the battlefield. Reedited this and its fixed now. So no weird light rays all over the place.

• Removed the vehicle file to avoid conflicts with the PA-FX mod

Have fun!

I played a game with this mod today. The client crashed after at least a half-hour of play-time.

Unfortunately, I have no screenshot of the game at the time of the crash, so all I have is the log file filled with "particle system overflow" errors.

Thanks for this I'll definately look into it. Did you had this problem with the v2 version also?

No, that version ran without any client crashes. Everything worked fine with v2.

Hmm oki. I'll look it up in the files tomorrows and remove the ray replacement. That should do the trick. we'll see. Thanks again!

V3.1 just went up! Changes are:

• Hopefully fixed the crashing. Getting the unkown error type RING shouldn't be possible so we'll see how it goes.
• Gave the orbital CPlosion more luv. They're looking much more spacy and nice. the original was kinda boring.

Have fun!

V3.2 just went up. Fixed a bug with the air explosions which created lots of errors (no crashes thankfully). Error free now .

Also I've noticed that we hit the 2000 (almost 2100) downloads this week! Pretty amazing stuff . Guess that needs to be celebrated with adding new CPlosion thingy's .

Out of curiosity, can you change the explosions so that they're in less of a hurry to be over? I feel like every time something dies the explosion just doesn't wanna be there. Does its thing and leaves asap.

Also, the circular motion downward? At the end of the explosion. Is there anyway/easy way to make it fade in an outward direction, rather than make it look like it's going back down to the centre on the ground?

First of all. Remove the mod with the new update. I'll try to update it to V4 tommorow.

I've also temporarely disabled it on PAMM to avoid any F!@# ups .

Hmm I can't let the particles be alive for too long time as I don't want to decrease performance (more particles is more rendering for the gpu). Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it fade, though I havent tried that yet. That effect is copied from the commander landing explosion and rescaled to small units. I'll look it up! Thanks for the tip!

CPlosion V4.0 just went up.

Changelog.

• Put in the stable changes into the CPlosion mod. (naval and the dox change).
• Added new CPlosion effects to the Pelter and Holkins.

I hope you like the new CPlosion effects. You'll now immidiatly notice when someones got a Pelter or Holkins up.

Have fun!

Its going fast with these versions >.>

Anyways v4.4 is up.

• Fixed the ring error for naval CPlosions.
• Naval shells now have a better suited CPlosion when they hit an enemy ship. It just looked weird when using the default one.
• Did some work on resizing the CPlosion for two naval ships.

Enjoy!

Nice job!

Best mod! Nice

Thanks @xanoxis and @goofyz3 ! I'm glad you like the CPlosion mod. I'm still not satisfied with the pelter and holkins CPlosion so these might changes in the future again. We'll see.

personaly not a fan of the this colormod but like the effects ... wasnt there another explosionmod that doesn´t change the colors but simply makes them look better?

can´t find it on PAMM

Good call there indeed was the XPlosion mod however I temporarely shut it down since it wasn't up to date with the latest patches. I'll try to fix that one this weekend. Thanks for noticing it.

keep up the good work
