No visual FX for Group Fly please

[Force Redux]

As the title says, can we have an option with no SFX special effects at all? Constant misting and or cloud effects even with the darkest colors still is obtrusive. Ty

Yeah, this works for me. You've got my support. 👍

The current Group Fly visual effects also makes travel in maps/zones with ambient darkness (e.g. Echo Dark Astoria) terrible.

Trying to think if the radius of the effect has any relation to the radius of the power, which I can't recall right offhand - might want some sort of alternate in that case.

 

(I want to say it doesn't, though as I recall it also has a duration - or had one until recently - which could be throwing off that impression.)

 

If that's not the case, can't really think of anything that might be a downside. (Of course, you'd also just get used to the power, so... *shrug*)

@Greycat correct the effect is much smaller than the radius which is pretty huge.

While it would be nice to have a No SFX or even an alternate SFX option in the CC, you can get around it my changing it yourself in your game folder. Just need a 1 sec silence.ogg to then rename to the appropriate SFX file name and drop it in the correct sub-folder in your data\sounds\ogg\ location. Example, the fly SFX listed below would go into data\sounds\ogg\powers sub-folder.

 

If you've added mods, then you should already have a data folder, if you have not modified any sounds, then you'd have to create the rest of those sub-folders.

 

Folder name: powers

File names: air_loop.ogg, Flight1.ogg, Flight_loop.ogg, Flight1_loop.ogg, Flight2_loop.ogg, Flight3_loop.ogg, Groupfly_loop.ogg, Hover_loop.ogg

Sorry I meant sfx as in special effects not sound effects. I don't mind the sound of group fly it's the graphics that had a misty overlayer no matter how dark you color it.

Try flying through Echo: Dark Astoria with any of the ice armor or fire armor powers active. I've taken to flying with the Forward and Up keys held down, and the character tipped down so their path is horizontal, just to get the particle trail to not fill my screen
