Hi there,

after about 600 trialfiles of 36MB in total I am finally pretty satisfied with my new effects. I have run into many problems of which the biggest was to discover all previous files I have done were in the wrong resolution due to another stupid programming error within EAW. Rescaling just ruined the effect I wanted to obtain so I created new sets from scratch to get rid of the edges being displayed by this error. I don't think I am far off when I say this thing nearly drove me crazy trying to find out what was wrong.
 A warning to all wanting to improve on these files: don't get drawn into endless experiments like I did, it will take the fun out of modding and may seriously harm your creativeness. Due to the nature of transparency files you could go on forever and ever without ever reaching your goal.
These files are only the tip of the iceberg on which I have spend about 640 hours to get to where they are now and I hope you will like them. 
Included in the package are:

New superblast file with improved transparency
HighRes shells with 4 times higher resolution
HighRes dead (no more faceless) pilot with more blood and added attributes
New improved watersplash with better transparency
HighRes impact debris with 4 times higher resolution
New explosions and smoke with improved transparency
New contrails and smoketrails optimised to make them as lively as possible
New improved tracers
New improved fire
New improved sunglare with deliberate shimmering and better transparency
New muzzleflashes with improved tranparency in 4 times higher resolution (allthough I have no idea where they are used)
Improved AAA clouds and explosions
A few other things on which these files may have an effect  but weren't spotted by me

I am still working on another addon to make a part of the 600 files available which will give more types of firetrails, explosions, smoke/contrails but I need a rest from this first.

To install:

Extract to a G OAW folder of your choice or straight into your EAW folder.
