TotalEffects now conforms to TSOP standards. Huge thanks to Soase Maelstrom!

Thanks Stant for the updated Diplomacy version.

Anyone may use this mod in their own mod however they like, as long as proper credit is given.

Enjoy

I have now included the Readme here for those who do not wish to download the mod at the moment.

Credit to Bailknight, Mansh00ter, and Zorodius for their corresponding graphical mods and inspirations.
Also credit to Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander for some of the textures.




This mod is an attempt to make another graphical mod that goes with the current list.
It contains a mixture of particle effects of my own creation(the majority), effects from bailknight's graphical mod, effects from Mansh00ter's mod, and effects from Zorodius' Solarflair mod.
I would like critique on my particle effect skills and what looks nice and what does not.

GameInfo changes:
Better range for the Jarrasul drain planet ability so that it actually has the same range as its bombing range. If the gameinfo folder is removed the drain planet effect will look funny.
Cleansing Brilliance has a muzzle effect. (bailknight)
Assault Specialization has an effect when it hits structures.
Charged Missiles now has a different beam texture and hit effect.
Disintegration bounceback has more attached effects and Disintegration itself has an actual muzzle effect.
Volatile Nanites now has an effect when a ship dies.
Tweaked a bit with all of the Vasari capship weapon attachments.
Changed the capship explosion. Getting rid of gameinfo will change the capship explosion back to Solarflair's.
I changed the Argonev's explosion to the same as the other starbases so as not to generate lag on death. If the GameInfo is deleted, the game will lag every time this starbase dies. (How d'ya like 1000000 particles onscreen at once? Attempt at your own risk)
Synced the Skarovas' and the Kortul's wave cannons to fire at a single point.

DELETING THE GameInfo FOLDER WILL CAUSE THE GAME TO CRASH.

The Solanus now has a muzzle effect
The Garda's shots also travel faster.
The Destra Crusader's plasma shots now fire at a single point on a mesh.
Added custom phase travel effects for each race. (Bailknight for TEC, Zorodius for advent, me for Vasari)
The Transcencia starbase now has Beam weapons instead of plasma. No damage change.
The Dunov's shield Restore ability now has a muzzle effect.

There is also a change in the theme music, one that I like more. (NO CRITIQUE ON THIS PLEASE)
Numerous other surprises relating to just particle effects.

I have removed all of the changes that would have anything to do with imbalance or game tweaks. All of the above changes are aesthetic only.
