ACE2 ball tracers port. #378
Conversation
Pushing for later, cause apparently we won't be using them right now |
ACE 2 had very good tracer effect thick and bright. Vanila Arma 3 tracers are maybe a bit too thin and not visible enough compared to real one |
There was some arguments back and forth about the laser beams so these weren't implemented. |
I got solid 1080p arguments for more visible bullet tracers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8766Nh-oGE ACE 2 had it right. A3 effect is just not enough visible, need brighter more intense phosphorous combustion. |
Is this ready for merge? |
@ulteq, this PR only contains the ball tracers models from ACE2, but they are not used for any ammo yet. The actual usage should probably be an optional pbo, cause not everyone likes them @cych, tracer looks shouldn't be evaluated from video footage. Bright lights have much more persistence in the human retina than on video. I've heard people with real military experience say tracers-as-lines are much closer to rl than tracers-as-balls. |
This is why blastcore and JSRS have always been incorrect. What they sound and look like on footage is completely wrong @ulteq @esteldunedain All we really need to do to integrate this is create an optional pbo which replaces all the appropriate CfgAmmo bullet models. |
@jaynus @esteldunedain Thanks for the clarification. |
Ready for testing. What do we do with the new classes that did not exist before (e.g. the 30mm rounds)? |
I think you should appy the ball tracers to them too. BTW, is that list of tracers complete? It would be very usefull for #1008 |
One more thing; should be rename the pbo to "balltracers"?? |
Yes
We can't rename it without changing all the p3d files as well. |
Easily doable, I already had to do it once. These are all MLODs so there is nothing stopping is from renaming it. |
Those ball tracers are pretty ugly by the way. |
They are 10000x better than the laser beams |
Ready for merge. |
Any one test and confirm this? |
Bring em back they are alot nicer than the ones currently or make it optional |
I didn't see any difference on some vanilla weapons. Maybe I was missing something. @ulteq ? |
Which vanilla weapons? |
My setup was messed up at the time, this is good to merge. |
This merges in all the ACE2 ball tracers models.
