TK-231's Special Effects Mod V1 Base

Author: TK-231 



This mod is originally created to play alongside the Movie Battles 2 mod.
I've always wanted the game to feel more starwarsy in its effects, recreating the Tantive stormtrooper
breach feel, the smokey enviroment and spectacular effects from the original trilogy.
I started tweaking the original files, and came to understand the special effects engine a bit. Along side I was
recording sounds from the movie dvd's and editting them. After a few weeks of
tweaking here and there, releasing each significant progress to the mb2 community, the effects have
become completely different compared to the original game, effects and soundwise. The popularity of the mod
made me think I should create a simular mod for the base players, with this as a result.

Known issue's: Some sieges are so spam intensive, that some effects 'disappear'.
Thats the limitation of the engine it seems.
