Stalingrad Smoke Effects

[SCG_Darbzy]

Hi all,

 

I can't remember where I saw it now, but someone had a template for the big smoke coming out of Stalingrad. Anyone know where it is?

Cheers,

Is it this one you are thinking of? 

 

 

There is also a mod for generate random smoke effects in quick missions (which I think might include the above to make them appear when they are further away)

Thanks for trying to help, but I think there was a very large smoke plume used in the game to simulate the huge fires over Stalingrad.

there is, its in the effects tab on the RHS. I cant remember which one (maybe "city smoke") and i think it needs an effect sustainer to keep it running. (as per jims manual).

The example groups that come with jims manual may have a premade one with this.

 

they tend to render in an out with distance tho, which can be pretty ugly. I ended up removing them when i tried to use them.

Okay, I'll keep testing the effects. Is there an easy way to replace the standard buildings on the map with destroyed versions? I'm trying to simulate the after effects of a bomber command raid.

Cheers!

To get a permanent effect, you need to import the group "EffectSustainer" from @JimTM (download the Sample Missions From the Manual):

(as you will see when importing the group, the effects in the tab in the RHS need to be set in a rather complex loop in order to be permanent). 

 

To damage buildings, you can use this:
