Just a quick update. Im now using differnt particle effect textures. Which is alot better than the org arma ones. Basicly arma uses a index of 8 particle textures to use as shown here



Basicly the #4 is the like the universal explosion effect used in arma this has been kinda annoying as its mostly been alot of fiddling and farting about with the cfg settings for each explosions. This has been restricting me getting what i want so im doing my own insted of using 8 im gonna be using 64 for each explosion and smoke effect. The only downside to this is that its taking awhile to do and i havnt tested this yet and im hoping all turns out well and the engine will support it,

il let you know how i get on.

Hey Opticalsnare, you're welcome to de-PBO my addon & have a look around. I did exactly what you're suggesting and made my own animated textures. You can indeed make 64-frame animations & put them in the game

In fact I got 2x 48 frame anims and 1x 64 frame anim. And there's nothing stopping you going even higher, making 12x12 arrays etc.

Thats great to hear that it supports it. The only thing im a bit stuck on is the .p3d files im not sure how to do them yet but im sure il get to know them. Those textures look great btw ive been using a program called ParticleIllusion its got loads of differnt particles which are animated. Ive been saving them out and putting them into adobe to put them down on a 128x128 grid pretty much like yours above. The explosions are going good so far im not sure how im gonna do the naplam but hopfully we can work something out that looks decent.
