Cannon & Musket shot being visible?

Post by Michael Slaunwhite »

Hi.

I was taking a closer look while playing the Civilwar Mod for ETW, and was thinking is it possible to add graphics which would show the cannon shell, and musket ball flying through the air in SOWgb?

Seeing the cannon shot plow through the enemy ranks looks really cool. Also is it possible to add smoke rising from the ground where cannon shot has hit.

I think it looks pretty cool, just wondering if these things can be modded in?

Cheers...

That's not something that can't be modded, but Norb has stated before that he wants to add cannonballs whizzing through the air. Hopefully musket balls as well. :)

Hi Little Powell.

This is good news. Since I've been tinkering with the ACW mod for ETW, the more I like it. The graphics are really cool (I know cool is my word for the day :) )

Cheers, and take care Little Powell.

I actually meant that it's something that can't be modded. Type-o. :blush:

Another thing we discussed in the past was implementing a time delay for the bursting shell based on distance to the target.
You can get farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

Hi Guys!

I am wondering as well, will there be maps, and scenario's which will allow you too assault forts?

I just finished playing a battle in ETW, and taking a fort was really something that made the old light bulb come on for SOWgb.

Cheers...
