Cannon Ball Effects Fix?

[MadMike]

Greetings,
Anyone have suggestions to change the red explosive effects from ball, grape, knipple, and bombs for Build 12 to something more realistic? Tried to changed the smoke.tga but no luck- still get red. Had Build 13 installed, but was encountering some minor problems (hence going back to 12).

Yours, Mike

That's not easily done. Have a look in the Merciless Mark folder on the PotC Files FTP (check the stickies);
maybe the original standalone cannon fire mod is still there.

I think the last time I looked at Build 13, the blast effect from the cannon was red. I'd never noticed that before. It should be yellow, as in Build 14.

Build 13 was much improved, projectiles impacting earth were brown colored. On my system, ship to ship impact damage was indicated by grey or white puffs. Too bad I don't have a firing range close by to test out my swivel cannon.

No luck searching on the ftp for Merciless's cannon effects.

Yours, Mike

What problem exactly were you having last with Build 13? You should just be able to use that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

If you have it, why not? Can't hurt. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
