Yeah it's a little too complicated for me. The guide helped but I tried putting the effect on kemmler and he doesn't even have a dedicated vfx file, since he has no vfx effects on him. I thought maybe making his "bin" file which dictates his animations include Mannfred's vfx file, the same way it's in Mannfred's "bin" file, might give him the effect but that's ultimately beyond my capabilities in coding lol. Thanks anyway.

I never added effects to a character, only removed, so I don't really know.
Assuming it's an existing character what I would try first is finding a xml file they already use and add/replace the effect you want.

There's this guide here, it helped me a bit, maybe it can point you in the right direction.

I'm assuming "shadow static" is the effect coming off of mannfred and wraiths, Is there another folder where i'd have to add said effect to make another character emit smoke?

Thanks. Holy crap that vfx stuff is a bunch of complicated coding. If say I wanted to add the smoke effect to another character, would I literally have to go and add each of that character's mesh's and what not to the vfx list of that effect to make the smoke come off of them?

That one took me a while to find as well =P

Can you give me a clue what the vfx effect name is for the smoke around mannfred in PFM?

Pushed a small update to tone down flames and glow on corpse cart variations.

Very nice bruh, VERY NICE!

Big thanks for this!

These effects, cairn wraiths and mortis engine especially, absolutely destroyed FPS. I don't know if they ever fixed it.

yep, thanks for all the juice tho. It's good that this mod exists, sometimes the lag from all the effects gets annoying...

@toby van kenoby I think it will still work.
The file for that effect has been the same since Warhammer I days from what I saw while tweaking it.

@JethroKirby Does it work? it's old, and not updated. This mod is fresh. Freshly squeezed mod juice. yum.

If I knew that mod existed it could have saved me a lot of time.
That effect was the hardest to remove as the name of the file doesn't match the units it affects.
Oh well...

@toby van kenoby It already exists

id like a mod that only removes smoke from mannfred and cairn wraiths... just sayin :)

The black smoke on the wraiths and Manfred looks so bad
