Every CBE mods are compatible with SFO except Proper Effects Addon, but you have an alternate compatible version of this particular submod. ;)

SFO compatable?

Yes unfortunately, that's also not works perfectly fine, because of a vanilla issue related on how terrain types work with map and their related effects, more details here . I haven't found any way to fix that for now and it's probably not fixable easily or not at all.

I can probably improve performances, but for that I must work on the vfx xmls themself and I don't have the time and motivation for now. And the performance impact will probably remain quite important, so I don't know if it really worth to take time for that.
I would probably have edited the vfx to have a coherent color dust if bounded terrains effects was not a mess.

Anyway, you have a lighter dust version of the mod in this ressources package . But that always have a noticable impact on performances. ;)

The good news: This mod works well.
The bad news: This mod works too well.

Expect a noticeable (4-10) fps drop with this mod on.

Do you want me to upload it for you?
Kapitan 15 Dec, 2020 @ 4:33pm 
I appreciate this bro, perfect FPS now.

I took a deeper look and in fact their effects are not related to dust at all. It's more like something to simulate a light cloud effect where the horses walk, I don't know exactly what is the idea but I think it's that.

So I changed my mind. I don't want to remove it for now, I will try rework that when I can, however I have something for you.
If you prefere to remove it, or if you don't want to use Thicker Dust with the new effect later, here you have a file that disable this effect [drive.google.com].
Simply drop it into your game data folder and enjoy :
by default : " ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War WARHAMMER II\data "

(delete it of your game data folder to uninstall it)

Thank you, can you remove the idle standing dust or whatever from unit as well please?

Ok after looked a bit into the tables, I will probably fix the incorrect dust effects on some flying units through the CBE Proper Effects Addon to keep the compatibility of this mod.
Because that really annoying me.
