No Smoke in Cities and Villages

[Stromboli]

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I searched and couldn't find anything. But there is no smoke over the Battlefield and I keep getting pop up messages before every mission. Is there a fix for this. I don't remember this in earlier versions.

 

Thanks,

Stromboli

Thanks for the report.  I posted in the ME section looking for info.

Thanks Pat.

I think they moved? For fixing the Random Dynamic 'Battle' Smoke and Ground Units mod recently (author is awol it seems) I found that some of the epl files had moved location. Think the one screenshotted now lives @ graphics\effects\surf\CityFire.epl

 

Not sure if the original poster is running the mod or perhaps you reference it directly in PWCG Patrick?

PWCG never specifies the epl.  

 

At any rate, I rewrote the smoke to use the new loop emitters.  It works.  This weekend or sooner.

Thanks again Pat.

Thanks for taking the time to report it.  PWCG covers a lot of ground as does BoS.  Not always easy keeping them in sync.  Being told that there is a problem is the most important part.
