PoeSmoother - effects remover

[Nuk3d]

Ok ill try that. I should do the same thing, probably, if that doesnt work, I'll reinstall path of exile and make a fresh copy just in case.

[Nuk3d]

It seems that it helped, thanks alot!

Zero breach effects seems to be working very good, thanks buddy
Dead bodies still crashes when mapping sometimes

The breach effect remover works wonders, thanks

Stable Breach: Release stable breach * vmv/PoeSmoother * GitHub

- updated breach files, breach is smoother then ever.
- added support for fmod .bank files, can be useful for removing sound packs.

FMOD .bank files are too large for github, so only the support function has been added.
To remove any sound pack simply open with notepad++ any .bank file and delete the content (it has weird symbols, don't worry it's ok).

Some useful file to delete, ofc it's preferential, like removing the crit hit sound...:

- General_Gameplay.bank
- General_SoundEffects.bank

Give it a try.

thx for update.

had this error while casting herald of ash.



e: similar error on blood rage. used same options as last version.

Just registered to say thank you to you vmv. This tool is totally awesome.

Also, wanted to ask, is there a way to re-enable circle around ground mark of storm call when using improved effects from skills tab? Because it's hard to tell where it would hit stuff.
Haven't figured that out yet. Same goes for vaal storm call.

Here same problem with solution:
PoeSmoother - effects remover

edit:

Ok, first thing now is to use a clean client (do a PackCheck or replace the thing), now with this new patch i think it's fine to have a clean one.
Then, in your game there is folder named ShaderCache...delete all folders from inside.
New shaders will be created when first start the game.

Try this and see if it's working.

Yes, here is the fix i think, not tested...:

Go to config\Skills\Storm Call\removeEffects\Metadata\Effects\Spells\storm_call\... and open with notepad both files, for normal and for vaal :
-stormcall_impact.aoc
-stormcall_impact_vaal.aoc

Copy the original SkinMesh functions from restoreDefault. This is for normal gem:

SkinMesh
{
    skin = "Art/Models/Effects/storm_call/impact/stormcall_impact.sm"
} 

The check recheck the checkbox to update the files.

Do you know which folder I should manipulate to improve / disable Flamebast effect? Please don't ignore me...

Thank you, but actually, I'm dumb. Player storm call doesn't have an outline, it has pulses, which I thouht was the outline, but they aren't.

But in any case I've restored initial first impact, and it is quite nice to have (runes show AoE quite nicely).

Also, changing stormcall_impact.aoc to

ParticleEffects
{
    animation = "animate"
        0 = "mid Metadata/Particles/storm_call/mid.pet"
        0 = "cyl Metadata/Particles/storm_call/cyl.pet"
} 

puts initial first hit (with runes, but w/o excessive amount of particles) back in.

It seems the way to go is to remove all particles, except runes, lightning spire, mid and ground fx, to maximize fps output to skill "readability".

EDIT

Here's my version of improved effects (with spire, and runes), if anyone is interested:
Dropbox

How to use:
- Extract
- Remove folder in config/Skills/Storm Call/removeEffects
- Replace it with extracted one
- Start PoeSmoother, reset skill as usual. Make sure to set it to default first (so that restoreDefault folder would kick in), and then tick it again.

So i have the same problem.

Clean ggpk , game runs. As soon as i run smoother and remove stuff i get the same error with herald of ash ^^

PS: It runs fine with master smoother so i guess the problem is with the new breach stuff....
