[Question] effects question

[mike653048]

okay, so i got PR .75 installed and im impressed, i REALLY dig the effect for the cobra gun and i was wandering, which effect do you guys use to make that? And if its possible, would i be able to put the effect into VBF2 cobra?

heres the quick vid i made:

YouTube - project reality cobra gun effects

You will need to copy the adequate lines from the PR exp_medium_20mmshell.tweak or something like that in to the right vbf2 files. These can be found in the objects_sever.zip/effects/weapons/muzzleflashes in PRscase. I am not on my computer at the moment so I can't be more precise. I will post back in a little while.

Could you post 1 threat witch include all your questions instead of opening 4 different threats.

[mike653048]

lol srry mora

[mike653048]

okay, Alex, i have the objects_server opened. which one is it, 25mm or 35mm? and could i just copy the tweak file into vbf2?

[mike653048]

plz i wanna know

-The effect you are looking for is in:

objects_server.zip/effects/impacts/explosions

of PR mod and its called:

e_exp_medium_20mmshell

-What you want to do is copy this into:

objects_server.zip/effects/impacts/explosions

of BF2 mod


-Then:

Open your cobra tweak file in:

objects_server.zip/vechicles/air/ahe_ah1z

Find these lines:

rem ---BeginComp efaultDetonationComp ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent DefaultDetonationComp
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionMaterial 87
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionRadius 3
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionForce 2.5
ObjectTemplate.detonation.explosionDamage 75
ObjectTemplate.detonation.endEffectTemplate e_exp_small
rem ---EndComp ---

And change:

ObjectTemplate.detonation.endEffectTemplate e_exp_small

To:

ObjectTemplate.detonation.endEffectTemplate e_exp_medium_20mmshell


That should work, If you want to do it for any other aircraft you will have to change the same line in its tweak file.

But you won´t be able to join a server with a modified effect, I assume this is for singleplayer/your own mod?

[mike653048]

wow thx alex, and yeah its for singleplayer only

[mike653048]

when i go 2 save it says something about not the right path?? that it cant create it

what do i do?

[Alex6714]

When does it say that?

[mike653048]

nevermind i git it to work!

thx alot alex

[Alex6714]

No problem.

[mike653048]

nevermind i got it to work, i just saved it to desktop and copied it to the ah1 folder and it worked great. so, could i also do the same for the m1a2 abrams cannon?

[Alex6714]

Sure, if your talking about the explosion you just have to do the same as before but in the tanks tweak file.

USTNK_M1A2 in vehicles/land.
