@NukerMunky

Sorry i do not upkeep this mod anymore. so i cant answer if it will work with that mod. But people can feel free to use it in their own mods if they want to

Will the new sound effect override the "Deep Impact" or "Deep Thrust" sound mods that make everything sound deeper, bassier, and a little more muffled (cause the vaccuum of space and all), but still very punchy and stylized.

TL;DR: For those using Deep Impact & Deep Thrust, will adding this mod only overwrite the Flak sound, or will it cause everything in Deep Impact as a whole to revert to normal and then add the new Flak.wav from this? Or even worse will it totally revert everything, all weapons, all engine sounds, and then apply the new badass Flak Sound?

Also also - If i may ask, would you be willing to make a Deep Impact patch? Or would you be ok with the guy who makes those doing a Deep Impact patch for your mod?

Very nice addition, thank you!

Это визуальные эффекты не меняющие логику и параметры игры, работает.

с 7,1 работает?

Dis still works in 7.0 stable release r8t? ?w?

thx man

nightwolf yes to both questions.

Is it compatible with the previous version? can i use it in my save to do a test and withdraw safely if i don't like it?

Oh my bad i did not realise you were also the producer of that YT video.

Thank you for the input and yes it is working, to the point i almost turned my laptop into a waffle oven after being a bit too liberal on the number of bullets fired at once...

Awesome work however, than you!

im assuming you're the guy that commented on my experimental BSG flak mod on youtube? if you change the deviation value to 360 that will create the flak shield effect you may like. i found if i went above 8 bullets per shot though it would cause a fps drop. your milage may vary

@mad_manitou if you go to the bullet_fx for flak turrets you can change the amount of explosions per shot by changing the bullet value and then changing the bullet spread by modifying the "deviation" value or its called something like that, so that way if you have a gun shooting 10 bullets per shot (think shotgun) the deviation value is the angle of how they spread out over the bullet range, 0.3 would be a 30 degree angle. this is all from memory though i haven't played/modded x4 in a while

Can someone explain to me how i could modify the file in order to increase the number of flak bursts on screen.
I just want to pump up the visual candy to go with the Galactica ship i got from the Ossian raider mod.

I am absolutely loving it but i feel that my Graphic card is not stressed enough yet so i could potentially double of even triple the visual effects given it is possible to do so.

Any input on this would be appreciated!

This happens because of the ----> in the link.

The joke is it did'nt take me off site but it opened my webbrowser instead of staying "in app", it was (and the remaning link still is) the steam layout and everything.

What it says:
Link blockiert!

Which means in short: potential harmful - steam blocked it for your own good - and the usual blabla but without the option to do it anyways.

ah yes i had to remove my kinetic weapons mods as it's no longer compatible with 6.0

not sure why steam says it's taking you to another site but you can always find my other mod via my profile :)

@Sir Snuffles
There is something wrong with your links - the bottom one ends in the steam void ("sorry blabla") and the other one leads allegedly to harmful content and is blocked. xD

@[TA] BarricadePrime
Oh man you triggerd my pseudo PTSD with that short sentence of yours xD
I totally forgot about that thing and how much i hated it until now ...

Do you have a discord where i can contact you? Your mods seems to conflict with the other mods. And i have a solution for your code. I love your mods. It's just that it conflict with mine.

can you make a cluster flak array weapon like the X3 one?

I've tested and they are working now, you may need to uninstall the mod and reinstall to force the update through. although it may just be the case you cant hear it over all the other gunfire as i didn't want to make the sound effect too loud as it's a medium gun that can easily get spammy.

The weapons from the kinetic mod sound louder and I can hear the 320mm and 1200mm, but the flak is seemingly silent. I'm baffled but the explosions are a treat.

to be honest i play almost exclusively VRO as i find vanilla weapon ranges are laughably low. Sorry it took so long to realise the mistake :P

Ah i see what's going on now, the vanilla versions were still trying to source the sound files from the VRO version. which i had installed so i never noticed the no sound issue. I'll patch it now and re-upload both this and the vanilla kinetic mods. Let me know if it's still now fixed

Alot of them, I disabled them all then tested using only the weapons from your two mods. I think the issue may be the volume is too low, because I could barely hear the flak, they sound like a cannon going off in the distance but delayed by a half second or so. the 320mm couldnt be heard at all but the 1200mm was heard although other turrets like the bolt are louder than it. in combat all other weapons overwhelm the modded sound.

@taivas possibly, what other mods are you using?

I don't know why the flak looks so bad in the normal version. This mod makes it right.

Strangely I dont hear any sounds when the flak and the guns on your other mod are firing, I suspect having other weapon mods causes a conflict.

Sounds good. Thanks for the explanation.

@ashaz un-modded flak turrets shot a lot more bullets per salvo, with my mod this would cause the game to be filled with too many explosions per second and potentially burn out some gpu's through excessive effects :P. so what i did was decrease the amount of shots per second, increased bullet speed to make each individual shot more accurate, decreased shots per second and then increased bullet damage per shot so the average mw damage ends up the same as original values

balanced damage how? What is the difference between this and the other version?

It's perfect. Thanks!

should be live now :) i did have the strength set to 1 at first but i thought it looked a bit drab. let me know what you think please!

oh nice! i'll take a look once you update. Thanks!

i managed to figure it out afterwards :D

I had to make a new material for the flak explosion particle effect and then a new particle effect using that new material with a lower diffuse str value (original was 15, now it's 5) seems to have worked

Yep...Im not familiar with the effects but my guess would be to play around with the configuration in the effects.xml file?
<!-- Geometry Light -->
<element id="3" ref="impact_light_orange_macro" forkeffect="none" duration="0.1" minscale="6.0" maxscale="6.0" fadeout="0.1" forklod="largeffect"></element>

yes i do agree they're too bright for my liking too, unfortunately i havent found a way i can change the brightness yet. stay tuned as it is one of the things im looking into :)

The flashes are a bit too bright and can be overwhelming to look at when a bunch of flaks are going off. Other than that, I really like it. Thanks.

Awesome! Thank you! :)))

Love it! Thanks!
