Ok so here it is, people have been requesting it and it made me do something about it. After digging through 4.85 files and 4.88 files it seems the Mortar Projectiles from 4.85 are actually in the 4.88 Mod but they are just dormant (inactive).

All the mortar projectiles both light and heavy were replaced with a single horrible mortar shot which we know today.

What is different between 4.85 and 4.88 are the Mortar Explosions and the INI file which dictates what effects are connected with which guns.




I have included a download link to the files you need to update your mortar effects / explosions to 4.85:




Installation Instructions:

go into your file directory where 4.88.1 is installed this is usually in C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Local\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1

1. Once in the game directory goto DATA \ EQUIPMENT \ and replace the weapon_equip.ini file with the weapon_equip.ini file in the zip file you have just downloaded from the above link.

2. Next goto DATA \ FX \ EXPLOSIONS then copy and paste all the files in zip folder - "Data - FX - Explosions" into DATA \ FX \ EXPLOSIONS




NOTE:

As I explained ingame, edits for graphical purposes won't get you banned for cheating, but the anticheat will still pick you up and add you to the watch list.

I won't approve or deny this edit, there's still the possibility something unrelated will cause the anticheat to go ballistic on you, so use this at your own risk. I highly suggest keeping a backup of weapon_equip.ini in the same folder if that happens.

BE SURE TO BACK UP ALL THE FILES YOU ARE REPLACING INCASE YOU WANT TO UNDO THIS MOD, also remember it is purely graphical in nature and does not affect gameplay or mechanics thus this mod is not considered cheating.

>>>> BUT IT DOES HOWEVER TRIGGER THE CHEATLOG AS ALLEY HAS EXPLAINED, WHEN IT RECORDS A CHECKSUM ERROR FROM THE CHANGES MADE IN THE WEAPON EQUIP INI. ALLEY SAID THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM SINCE KICKS FOR THIS TYPE OF ERROR ARE NOT ACTIVATED, SO IF YOU INSTALL THIS BEAR IT IN MIND. <<<<

When DSLauncher updates your game files this mod maybe over-written so beware of this. It is possible however to program in the FX yourself just by updating the weapon_equip.ini if the DSLauncher replaces this file.




I will produce a tutorial on how this can be done later, but for now enjoy the pics and the mod (:

Many thanks, Black Widow. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Alley was right.

You'd better have done the Gallic ones too, or else I'm going to slap you with a fish.

Seems that update messed this up.

[Black Widow]

yeh, the latest update means the Weapon_Equip.ini has also been updated so this mod will no longer work with the new update. Hence I will have to update the ini in order to reactivate these effects
