MIs – TINY VFX

Description


A tiny mod focused on action-packed VFX to make your battles feel raw, brutal, and alive. Here’s what’s inside:

1) Arrows stay forever.
Took twelve damn years, but now arrows stick where they land. No neat little rows, no perfect alignment—just messy, random chaos like in real life. Models and textures got a fresh upgrade too.




2) Projectiles trails.
Tactical visibility meets cinematic beauty. Sieges and naval battles? Now they look like hell.



3) Brand new blood.
Did we need it? Maybe not. But now every fight is soaked in 2K gore. Blood, puke, and, yeah, even sh!t—splattered across the battlefield and the campaign map.



4) New fire textures.
For those who like it hot in 2K.



5) Winter is great again.
No more ugly white decals on units and terrain. Snow, rain, clouds—all overhauled. Now, a battlefield in the snow looks right—cold, brutal and unforgiving.



6) More action, more dirt.
Flying debris in infantry clashes, chunks of earth kicked up by charging cavalry—because a little extra chaos never hurt.




What else?
Didn’t want you to choose between this and the fantastic Para Bellum Effects, so with AveMetal’s blessing, I integrated its best features—dust effects, firestorm scripts, and more. Big thanks to Ave!
Original mod here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2010751092

FPS-friendly?
Optimized as much as possible, but expect drops in large-scale naval battles with fire arrows. If that’s an issue, grab the Lite version below. The difference is only in flaming arrows trails.

Installation:
1. Subscribe to the mod (Blood DLC required).
2. Download movie.pack of your preferred version (Full / Lite) and drop it into the game’s data folder (copy link and delete ***): mediafire.***com/file/afn0f6cym7u7thz/Tiny_VFX.zip/file

3. Enable the use of Movie type mods in Rome 2 (Options / Mods in the game menu)
4. Set effects & terrain quality to Very High / Ultra in settings.
5. Have fun

Compatibility:
Works with DEI and any mod that doesn’t mess with effects. Just load this one on top in Mod Manager. Remove previous effects movie pack if used one.

Credits & Thanks:
• AveMetal and the Para Bellum mod.
• The DEI discord community.
• KAM 2150 for testing
• Screenshots taken with Legendary Empires HD + HeWasaConsulOfRome: Rome HD

Update 01:
- arrow fire and fireballs textures
- minor clean-ups
- reworked blood animations. Overall less Tarantino style, but still visually appealing. In order to make it work, you have to redownload and change the movie pack. New file (copy link and delete ***): mediafire.***com/file/oqe0vulgjnssjf2/MIs_tiny_vfx_movie.pack/file

I've had an issue where blood wasn't staying on the ground. I set terrain quality from extreme to Ultra and i can finally see blood on ground and it stays for a longer period. Weird but if anyone has this issue set terrain quality from extreme to ultra and it should work.
I know it's described in the description below but i was thinking the modder forgot there is even an extreme setting for terrain quality...

I DIDN'T READ IT

Could be a mod conflict, check the data folder for previously installed movie packs. Assumed you’ve read the installation guide

EVERYTHING TO THE EXTREME OR MAYBE NOT LOAD WELL

What graphic settings are you using? Should be at least "very high" for particles.
Mark_Antony 6 Jul @ 2:20pm 
The distance units when shooting show a blue line on any arrow, whether it's the heavy one, the fire one, etc. Or do I have to add something or do I have to update or do I have to improve the graphic quality?

@Mark_Antony I don't really get the issue. You dont have smoke for flaming arrows? Make sure you're using not a Lite version (before the update)
Mark_Antony 6 Jul @ 1:14pm 
It only happens with DISTANCE units, NOT WITH CATAPULTS, CROSSBOWS, ETC. ONLY ARTILLERY WORKS

Discord is bad, I log in and it says it hasn't been found or I upload an image to my profile.
