Revamped FX

Revamped FX

It's a pak retexture of some of the game's (most notable) FX visuals.

My personal goal was to update the quality of the effects without slipping into tastelessness and to keep them generally true to Bioware beautiful art design. The insides of the mod:

• []Sparks displayed during every combat action in the game look a more colorful (honeyed) and leave a small tracer as opposed to the pale yellow vanilla ones.

  []Lightning, Force Drain, Death Field now look a more colorful. The spell curve has been replaced (jo version) and is now more broken. The spell textures on the bodies have been completely redrawn, as I was not entirely satisfied with the previous version. Instead of a uniform “web” entangling the entire victim, now a large lightning bolt breaks into dozens of small dancing discharges. The goal was to replicate the effect from the Clone Wars show. As the lightning's rank increases, the number of discharges increases. DF and FD now improved with AI and edited manually - to avoid monotony in textures.

  []Grenade blast marks look similar to the original ones, but with improved resolution and transparency.

  []Smoke became blacker and thicker.

  []Explosions became more decent, but this is just AI upscaling, not new textures. Maybe it's because I almost never use plasma grenades. Also replaced the texture of the droid fire gimmicks. Not perfect, heh, but at least it's not out of place.

  []The texture of the burning bodies became more sympotic thanks to transparency and less like a ridiculous orange shield.

  []The effects of the “fire sword” (Master Power Attack etc) are less intrusive, but the original idea and visual distinction are preserved.

  []Also various little things like blaster bolts, campfire, ice, carbonite etc.
