The Particle Massacre -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ||I thought to write a lot of text, but as they say “Brevity is the sister of talent” - All of you favorite mods for effects that are twisted by 200% and recycled by 80-90%. + All this from above is supplemented with many new effects and modified old chips. Now every gunfight will be distilled chaos and evil bloody carnage. Well, a slight drop in frames to your basket [dudes, I think we all understand].|| ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What is this mod based on? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ||**AutoGibbon's Hollywood Shootout v1.2(Basic)\1.4(Partial)\1.5(Partial)** by [AutoGibbon](https://modworkshop.net/user/2439) https://modworkshop.net/mod/12606 **Extreme Muzzleflashes** by [Nonhuman](https://modworkshop.net/user/8769) https://modworkshop.net/mod/17863 **Slightly Exxxaggerrated Effects (FPS+3rd-Person+Tracers)** by [fugsystem](https://modworkshop.net/user/32041) https://modworkshop.net/mod/26054 https://modworkshop.net/mod/25764 https://modworkshop.net/mod/25476 **PD:TH Smoke Effect (PD2 Colored)** by [Dorpenka](https://modworkshop.net/user/38327) \ [Jarey_](https://modworkshop.net/user/1664)\ [fugsystem](https://modworkshop.net/user/32041) https://modworkshop.net/mod/27478 **Bloody Screen Effect (Restoration)** by [Dorpenka](https://modworkshop.net/user/38327) https://modworkshop.net/mod/32280 **PD:TH Bullet Impacts (Partial)** by [Zdann](https://modworkshop.net/user/1076) https://modworkshop.net/mod/760|| ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What's new in mod compared to the originals? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ||- The main menu is now more unobtrusive and smooth + Imitation volumetric smoke - Made completely from scratch "Dirty Lens" and is a more advanced replica of the original (now it reacts to almost all light sources and takes the form of the object's light) - Completely reworked several texture atlases (now all flashes, fire and smoke are smooth and soft) - Shot flashes are now smoother and blurry, but also more luminous (my eyes suffered so that your eyes would not suffer) - All particles have been reworked + many new particles have been added to all surfaces due to the PD:TH port **[thanks Zdann!]** (including nothing_pd2) - More destructive explosions with varying degrees of blastwave - Reworked Incendiary Grenade (in AutoGibbon style) - Several variations of impact from different surfaces (metal, stone, marble, ceramics, blood) - Now all flashes, explosions, fire have different degrees of illumination (from intensity to radius) - Weapon flashes now work in sync with "Dirty Lens" (due to which there are many different reflections and color distortions on the screen) - Added particles from PD:TH where appropriate and adapted in size and intensity - Now everything related to fire (flashes, explosions, Flamethrower, Molotov, Dragon's Breath) have distortion of varying degrees and duration - Completely reworked Flamethrower from scratch! (now the flame has dynamic lighting, small sparks, glow effects and is more heat) - Now all lighting from the effects adapts in brightness to the time of day (during the day - moderately, at night - lighting show) - The effects of sparks from a bullet hitting metal have the lighting - Bullet trails were already distorted **[thanks fugsystem!]** but are now slightly reflective of environments and also get brighter in dark areas and at night - The smoke is now softer and slightly grainy (little much) for more realism - The smoke from shooting is more solid and unobtrusive (has a little distortion for the effect of "overheating") - Flashes from first person shots have small random sparks for more impact from shooting - Reworked shells (have a more whole and softer texture, as well as shading for volume) - More intensive color correction due to the new “Dirty Lens” - Reworked blood effects (now they are a hybrid of PD:TH and have new particles, as well as undergone color correction) - Made from scratch blood decals (stylistically similar to the original, but larger and have a slightly longer “lifetime”) - The blood on the screen **[thanks to Dropenko!]** has been completely redesigned (it has three types of effects and works synchronously: “Standard” ;Based on “Rain” ;Based on “Rain” but reworked under “Standard”) - Restored some visual chips from PD2 Beta **[based on screenshots from Steam]** (cyan and blue highlights from flashes; small rainbow from light on “Dirty Lens”; color distortion from different light sources) - And some small changes that I forgot about for one reason or another|| ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gratitude -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ||Special thanks to [fugsystem](https://modworkshop.net/user/32041) and [Zdann](https://modworkshop.net/user/1076) without them, most likely the mod would not even exist, and he would not be able to reach the MWS.||
