John - Fire & smoke effects released

John has sent us his new fire and smoke effects, which are replacing BIS ones. You need to read carefully the readme to understand how to install them.

These new textures do not slow down the game too much (unless maybe if there are a lot of units at the same time on the screen). Effects are looking nice on the screenshots but when it is animated, the transitions between the different textures are too fast, so it makes the fire or smoke effects looking a bit like a blinking object.

It is probably an OFP engine limitation and we do not know if John could find a solution to fix this. Anyway you can still give it a try because the concept is very interesting, just read the readme in order to keep backups of original OFP Data.pbo files.

There is a thread in the OFP.info forums about it here.

A broken download, a missing picture, an article that reads wrong. Also a file the archive does not have and you do, or an idea for what it should hold next.

The site is open source, so a fix can arrive as a pull request as readily as a message.
