There is smoke for every musket that fires. If there isn't, the specific man did not fire.

Thanks, ADukes !

So, if the misfire can be adjusted in rifles – everyone should display smoke from the muskets when firing!

I try this approach first.

Ok, I think I understand. The animations keep on cycling, which for every man shows him loading, and bringing the musket up to the aim position, but at that point depending on the game calculations he may or may not fire. If the game calcs tell him to fire we see the smoke. If the game calcs don't tell him to fire, we don't see smoke, he reloads, and the animation cycles through another loading sequence.

Correct.

OK, taking into consideration what ADukes has said, and watching the soldiers in action this is my take on it.

Each sprite can represent more than one soldier, so if sprite 3 - soldier is in action, whether he is shooting or not, one of the other soldiers contained within sprite 3 may be firing his weapon, and this will produce the smoke effect .

So, with that said, I don't think that it is possible to have the smoke only displayed when the sprite that is seen is firing his weapon.

This may not be correct, but I think that the smoke is more of a symbolic gesture is represent that firing is taking place, instead of firing is only taking place with the soldier that we are actually seeing.

I believe the firing mod is now conflicting with the new patch. I have gotten CTDs whenever a regiment begins to open fire on another unit (artillery is not affected). Is there a quick fix I can make to the file that will allow it to function properly?

The Mod has to be redone, I'll try to have it posted by saturday.

Basically, the units that were listed in the gfx file, have been moved to a new file called unitgfx .

Much thanks to you. Every time I play without it I keep hearing Buster telling me to watch out for the guys who keep loading and loading and go home without ever firing a shot.

Damned Black Hat - if you get the time , try out this one and let me know if it works.

Only good with the default units!
