@Stryfaar scroll to the bottom of that link^
@mxt333 Hey man, I just tried v3.2 ingame and it looks really great. The orange fireball and dark grey smoke not only look great in the game, but are also very realistic according to real explosion photos from google. And the sparks dont look like fireworks anymore and they look great inside the new fireball.
I honestly cant think of any way to further improve this mod. So I guess there wont be any more feedback from me as I'm perfectly happy with this version. Thanks for all the work you did. Looking forward to more awesome stuff from you :)
@John Doe im glad you like it! my favourate feature is when a car or wheel catches fire you actually see some nice blue undertone. gives it that gas is present feel and you dip the hell outta there. Im heading out to Colorado to visit my lady wont be back till after easter holiday. Thats why I tried to update all my mods before heading out. Enjoy GTA. When I come back more things in store, hopefully not just realistic, but wacky too!

@mxt333 Cant wait. Enjoy your holiday man...

Came back to say I installed and loved 3.1, but have just noticed another new update lol.. Installing now! :-D
@mxt333 Is there any way to change the particle animation and make it longer ?
@mxt333, looks nice, I'll try it
any way to improve the quality ?
After I installed the mod, but only this mod, I get the error "ERR_GEN_ZLIB2" is never works for me.
Sorry if this is a noob question, but where do I put the core file? installed everything else fine, just stumped as to where core goes, also as to hwy you have no install instructions lol :P
@mxt333 sir where can i get the V2 of it? cuz its better than the 3.2
great mod! using with NIBmods quantum break & Zippos violence for slow mo HD explosion greatness!!!! YEA! Your in the jungle now baby!!!!
Hi i get "Failed zlib cal" error,how to fix this?
@mxt333 Hey man ive been using a bunch of different explosion mods for a while now. I think your explosion_fireball_rgba texture inside core.ypt should be a little darker. It would be perfect.
The fireball_rgba is the outside?
Fireball (one with purple in it) is the inside texture? Correct?
@mxt333...At night time burn out smoke from car is ink black at night even in street lighting, day in fine.
Also the file vfx_reference extn (Rockstar stock) end in ytyp. dose that matter?
Do you know where to find the muzzle flash textures?
Vanilla were better
Hasent worked
