(Update: 16.11.09 - BSM version 4.1 standalone and for all current supported Mods)
I'm glad to present you the new version of my Battlefield Smoke Mod. It has taken a long time to finish this. But i think the end result is worth a try. I have made some fixes (to bright fire effects for instance) and added new effects you'll like.
This version also should not work perfectly with other mods, that changes the following db files:
- projectile_tables
- projectile_impacts_tables
- projectiles_explosions_tables
- particle_effects_tables
If you are using such a mod you will surely miss some effects or the mod won't work. If you have a request for me to make this version compatible to other mods, please let me know and i will do what i can.
You need LtChambers fantastic Mod Manager to get this mod to work. This is surely the safest method to run the BSM without any troubles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what's new this time?
First, the smoke mod is not compatible with the bloodmod standalone! So use either the BSM or the Bloodmod!
Please get sure you load BSM above all other used mods to get it to work.
This time there is no video introducing BSM 4.1 (yet). I have made one, but Youtube has blocked it, because i used musics youtube won't show. I will upload it to Peacekeep3r and he will either try his luck on youtube or upload it to filefront or something else.
Here are some screens from the movie i made:

And THANK YOU to everyone who helped me to make the mod better! Especially to LtChambers and R4nd0M for his Pack File Manager and Mod Manager, Gilad Pellaeon for the additional music files, Hinkel for introducing the mod to the TWC Community and LochKopf for testing version 3.1 and Peacekeep3r for the additional textures and beta testing 4.1!!
Installation!
First, make sure, you have no other, older Version of Battlefield smoke mod or Blood mod installed.
Winrar is needed to extract files from *.rar archive.
You can get it here: http://www.win-rar.com/
You need also LtChambers Mod Manager: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=240335
The mod is compatible with LtChambers excellent Mod Manager. Just extract the modfile into your ">your steam folder<\steam apps\common\empire total war\data" folder and activate it with the Mod Manager.
Thanks to LtChambers for his help!
Please note! If the mod doesn't work, you can try to change the loading priority in the Mod Manager.
Have fun!
Here are some Fan Bars from Arctander for you to use. Thanks to Arctander!
