sweet havok, cant wait, is it possible to have 1 version with the fire starting and one without? Because for me, the fire thing with grenades brings my fps abit (due to my crappy comp) So when grenades and rockets start flying, it gets abit hefty on my peformance.

Any news on the updated alpha? As you can see, I hate waiting  Think you'll have it ready in about 8 hours?

I still have a lot of optimizing to do. My battledust effects are saddly extremely unrealistic. After watching countless youtube vids of people firing AK47's and SCAR's its hard to say that there actually would be any battle dust. But this is NOT a realism mod. This is a fun mod. And smoky war torn battlefields are FUN

Sounds awesome. And yes, take as long as you want optimizing  But you could try us out on the it while its unoptimized and we'll tell you how much lag we get :tongue: Just joking :tongue:

I'm thinking of getting some testers to run a simple benchmark, the only problem is there is no benchmark that makes excessive use of particles, apart from the island on with the rockets.
It would be nice to show people some numbers to reassure them that this isn't an FPS killer...

Advanced Particles V2 has been released to Alpha Testers.Here are some of the updated features: Quote: Features
*Fire System; when an explosion is close to a house or vegitation, fires will start and eventually die down. *Fire now damages the player and AI. *Smoke stays for much longer after explosions. *Enhanced battle dust; Smoke forms across no mans land. *More 3d Particle Physics, Wood splinters, rocks, bits of concrete. All behave with realistic physics and are generated when Buildings, trees, etc are shot/exploded. *New Blood effects, more splatter *Explosion effects optimized for better performance *LAW rockets form trails of smoke (Like in Killzone 2 Preview Videos) *Lots more that I've forgotten

Is the LAW's smoketrail supposed to dissapear after a few seconds? ?( If it is, it would look better to me if it didn't  Also is this a big? You can just see the rocket without the smoketrail a tiny bit ahead of the smoke.

Great job Havok.
This Mod is not only useful, but interesting. Although I think you should focus on blood spurts that come directly from the body as well as stains on the ground (I might be wrong though)
The only way I'm leaving is either with a degree in my hand or they drag me out by the ears. And last time I checked no one's holding my ears.

This is why we do testing before release  Very easy to fix that. May I know what settings you are using and whether it does that in the editor also. I have sometimes noticed that the particle timings are a little off when they are put ingame. As for making the smoke trail stay, thats a good idea! What do you think to the new fire and battle dust?

The fire and battledust looks awesome  ) And I'm using medium settings, and that is in the Editor, I just got rid of the editor bits in paint to make it look neater
