Scourge of War Boards

I edited TheBaymonster's fine realistic smoke mod and made a light version which does not have so much smoke. I was wondering if I could post it here as long as I don't take credit as I did not really do anything except change the numbers around. I was not sure about the forum rules about mods and I can't seem to get a hold of Thebaymonster. Either way I am cool with the answer, just think it looks great now after a few edits and wanted to share it.

Where is it? I'd like to try.

I would say if he doesn't respond by the end of the day, go ahead and post it. Usually the general rule with mods is they are pretty much open to anyone to edit, re-post, or do whatever they want with them, as long as they give credit where it is due.

Ok here is TheBaymonster's smoke mod edited for a light version. All credit goes to him, as I just tinkered with the files Download the original Realistic smoke mod, then overwrite the file in the logistics folder ( inside the realistic smoke mod folder) with the file below to try. Always backup your files. :cheer:

A screen showing my desired effect which is to have white out conditions down on the battlefield but a more lucid view from up above.

View from above in the same area in the battle.

A major engagement still gets pretty smokey, but only when there are a lot of units in a small area. The smoke will still become thick, but will dissipate quicker than the original mod never completely obscuring your view unless you are close to being on the battlefield level.

Massed confederate artillery.

A nice shot of smoke in the distance.

Looks very cool.

I'm going to do a few updates to the released mods topic today and I'll make sure and include this.
