[NorthFireworks] Mod Sets (Singleshots, Cakes, Compounds)

[distant lily]

Hi,

The mod Sets will feature some of my favorite Effects, or well known ones from Cakes or Compounds. I already got many done, like Effects from: Aniol, Goldbomber, Barbies Boy, Pretty in Pink, Sulphur Crown, Trigger 1, Juggernaut, Mamut, etc..

they will be available as a Singleshot, so u can enjoy them just like normal, or build up with the fuse some Cakes or Compounds with your favorites Effects from each Set, u like the Goldbomber and want it to be shaped? just build it yourself, all Effects are in the Set. Make your own Goldbomber with 500 Shots, however u like.

For Example i really like the Effects from the Pretty in Pink, so i made them as a Singleshot. Now i can decide how i want the effects to shoot in which speed and Shape... I hope you could at least understand a little bit what I like about it and why i do it. xd

If anyone has an Effect they would like to see added, please let me know. but i only scale them for 20, 38 and 50mm

I will bring some update Clips for the effects in here, maybe also some new effects to show off or creations like cakes or compounds i did, just some short Clips

[shell monolith]

GG @distant lily, you just advanced to level 3!

[desert jay]

a fish effect (like the weco firefly) would be nice i guess (20mm)

[distant lily]

Some work has been done, for me a huge upgrade. the 20mm was way to big before, but that has been completely changed. And also some new and more polished 38mm Effects. The lights that where way to bright are now changed too(i dont even notice that i had flashbangs the hole time) aaaaand i tried some new launch sounds, really like them. https://youtu.be/YbQ9RzS7sS4

And something new for 20mm: https://youtu.be/4YwaGAMGC-M

[distant lily]

[distant lily]

I was thinking about it, but im pretty bad in blender so it isnt that easy for me. second problem is, i would have to create custom lables for all the cakes

[distant lily]

[twin jetty]

pls release it in a pack and not single mods 🙏🏻

[twin jetty]

oh lol

[lyric meadow]

[twin jetty]

[shell monolith]

GG @twin jetty, you just advanced to level 18!

[exotic glacier]

oh my god the cakes are so good i love the sounds they are amazing! good job @distant lily

[distant lily]

thank you!

[hidden epoch]

i just love this mod. The breaks are so much more realistic. I would love to see some rockets from North!

i also would love to see some "realistic cake sets". I know that a few cakes are "reallife cakes" such as the Zaplon, but also with the "real model" if you know what i mean

[fallen lodge]

Do you have the labels for that?

[hidden epoch]

yea

i am a "collectin every box i can get" guy

I can offer push it to the limits, blütenrege, fermata 100a, diwalli, king of bling etc... Just a few samples of big show boxes i have

[fallen lodge]

@velvet garnet what labels do we still need?

[hidden epoch]

i can give you a pic of my lattest stash from new years. Then you can tell me what you need and i can look if i still have the box

[fallen lodge]

👍🏻

[hidden epoch]

the quality of the pic is bad, ik. But it was made why a trash phone. i also got some cames, so i think i can give you good lables

[exotic glacier]

omg we need the ying and yang labels

[fallen lodge]

We have them already just no one wanna make them

[velvet garnet]

@fallen lodge We need
Albert the neonfather
Argento syringa
Argento avalanche
The iskra cakes of hé still has them

And those 3 fan shapes

[hidden epoch]

i can give you syringa and neonfather. avalance is sadly burnt.

[shell monolith]

GG @hidden epoch, you just advanced to level 3!

[exotic glacier]

ahw i rlly like them but if not i cant change anything about it sadly. one day we will get em one day we will

[shell monolith]

GG @exotic glacier, you just advanced to level 2!

[fallen lodge]

In general fountains are not that popular by modders

[distant lily]

Working on Compound Set 1, what should i add to it?

[distant lily]

Rockets may be planned 🙂

[shell monolith]

GG @distant lily, you just advanced to level 4!

[hidden epoch]

neonfather or fermata 100a would be very nice ;D

[twin jetty]

i love foutains

[twin jetty]

fermata 100a is already ingame

[twin jetty]

funke shockwave f3 and fireball f3 would be nice

[green jewel]

I have already made the real Fermata 100a

[green jewel]

What makes them more realistic if you don’t mind me asking?

[hidden epoch]

I am a really big fan of your mods. But I really miss some big breaks and gold effects.
For example, the Fermata 100A. I shot it in real life, and the breaks are just insanely huge. Another example is Funkenweide or other gold effects. Some gold effects burn so long that they actually fall to the ground.

The NorthFireworks Funkenweide falls to the ground, and the Amnestey Funkenweide is also very pretty, but the gold doesn’t even come close to the real-life experience, if you know what I mean.

I remember you saying something like “I am doing the breaks realistically” when PyroLuca asked why the breaks are so small. Especially if you look at some Funke products, the breaks are huge and the gold really falls down very often. That’s what I love about North: when you shoot some big stuff, you really get that “this is sky-filling!” moment.

I had the same feeling when I shot the Goldbomber in real life. But when I saw your Goldbomber, it felt more like an 18 mm cake.

I hope this text doesn’t sound mean. I just wanted to give some feedback about the breaks and gold effects 🙂

and please dont get this text as a "just make every break bigger". I know this is a lot of work for every "break" item in every mod

[twin jetty]

i feel u

[distant lily]

Im working on Aniol in 20mm, i mean its the same as neonfather 1 just some nice Salute finish that i like more

[hidden epoch]

very very cool ;D

[hidden epoch]

i think some old funke compunds also would be nice. Like Mang Shang, Supernaut, Shockwave F3, EOG and my fav Mei Banfa. But those are a lot of work ._.

[distant lily]

from the real ones i got done Neon Knight, Trigger 1 resized to 30mm , a mix of The Great Wall & Only the Brave cause they are both 180sh, Iskra Godny resized to 30mm, and a funke Paranoid with other Effects. but yes the big ones will take a lot of time

[hidden epoch]

Godny in 30mm sounds wonderfull. Just shot this 15 days ago in my "poland trip". Love it

[distant lily]

one of my favorites in rl, just love it for the price and the salute so good

[hidden epoch]

jup. i also like the iskra wampir. The "Weco Diwali" also was very very good. Weco really suprised me

[distant lily]

Compound Set 1 is ready to be released! <@&1120824646997123214>

[twin jetty]

😍

[slow rose]

test fire ^^

[twin jetty]

@lyric meadow can u aprove?

[lyric meadow]

Sorry am not at home today, maybe another <@&1120824646997123214> can do it ??

[glossy jasper]

I have accepted it

[twin jetty]

ok

[twin jetty]

nice

[twin jetty]

could u add deep howler cakes like lethal whistle or the titanium scream from tropic?

[exotic glacier]

15 compounds? my guy ur insane good imma test them right away!!!!!!

[kindred nimbus]

One thing I notice is that the items with a w/z shape in them, take significantly more time to load than other items. It is most noticeable on the Juggernaut compound

[distant lily]

i think the way i do my shapes is wrong, and it is very expensive same in unity. If anybody knows the ,,right" way to setup shapes just let me know. until its fixed i wont work on shapes.

[distant lily]

just want to build a little base, now i can work with them since the main part is finished

[exotic glacier]

omg they are awsome!. i love the color use like its tropical and not basic colors. love the paste of the speed

my fav cake had to be the corolla 100a

[twin jetty]

@green jewel knows

[hidden epoch]

love them!

[modest magnet]

[distant lily]

Cake Set 2 is ready to be released <@&1120824646997123214>

[slow rose]

rocket next ^^

[exotic glacier]

1. donnerfunke 100 f4. 2.fermata 100b . 3. only the wall. its lags kinda much but a nice cake . and lastly palms of extasy

[twin jetty]

ye bc he makes the shapes wrong

[twin jetty]

when u fixing the laggy shapes?

[distant lily]

Set 2 is only the rest i have done in the last weeks, same with the 5 compounds i have worked on. due to work i wont have that much time to fix or create new stuff, same with shapes and models. it does take a lot of time to get something done.. from december to now it is over 800-1000 hours i spent in unity and over 400 hours in fwm since i started modding. and as you see, not much has been done.

[exotic glacier]

no worries take ur time. a game isnt the most important thing in life

[distant lily]

some progress on rockets..

[exotic glacier]

ohhhhh!!!!!!!!

[distant lily]

i really miss the old Sirenen Raketen 🙁

[exotic glacier]

HOLY shi....those sounds are amazing man! tbh i rlly like scream products so its good u adding enough of it from cake sets to rockets good job man

[hidden epoch]

we need some good horse tail rockets!

like the blättertanz raketen (ik, there are alr in the game, but we need more)

[exotic glacier]

and a fun rocket is the 3 step flute rockets

[distant lily]

maybe weco Tolle Lola? or some old weco/nico/comet rockets in general, but i have to find some videos

[hidden epoch]

DAMN yes

pls

[real wyvern]

Hey @distant lily Really awesome cakes you created! Great job! However, it seems one or some, have some fps issues. See @modest magnet latest video here:
https://youtu.be/gvtfDcfYJQw?t=365

Around 06:00 in - looks like you maybe have too many small particles, too many with physics on or something like that.
Think people would be happy if you could look into it as I forsee these mods being fairly popular 🙂

💪

[distant lily]

hi, i will watch the video when im home again, the big problem is, that i didnt really checked on the max particles and just set them really high.. on the weekend i worked on some new Stuff and i already have started to delete all the useless particle effects for better performance and they work way more smooth then before. I mean its a learning process, even tho that i have more fun on creating new effects instead of fixing stuff that i dont know of.. maybe i can get some help from the ones that understand how unity work and what stuff is causing lags 🙂

[real wyvern]

Exactly, its a learning process and we get better every day 🙂
But yes, with particle system you always wanna go for the smaller amount you can do, where it still look as you want or close to it.
It is also a pretty good feeling getting your stuff to perform better while still look the same 🙂

But in Unity you can play the effect and see the amount of particles, if you don'¨t know how let me know and I show you.
Furhtermore, it's not only the amount of particles, its also what modules are enabled. Forinstance, the collision module you ONLY want of particle that really reall really need it. Crackling effect for instance, it an example on something you typically DONT want collision on. Really its very very few particle systems in your effect you want collision turned on, if any at all.

Looknig forward to try it when it's optimized 🙂

[distant lily]

I will start to work on all 75 items across the 3 Sets, already started some testing, and yes, many effects had collision on.. i will just start again from beginning and maybe change some items. for example cake set 1 will get ,,Krawallmonster 3" instead of the old ,,Krawall", for Compound Set 1 im going to change ,,Only the Wall", ,,Juggernaut" and ,,Der Paranoide Riese" with new ones, for example: ,,Iskra - Skarb". ,,Die Goldbombe" will be changed to the real ,,Goldbomber" in 24mm, same with ,Neon Knight" going from 20/30mm to 25/30mm, and Godny from 30mm to 25mm. If anyone has ideas for changes i should try or make, just let me know. It will take some weeks to get all done, not only effects but also the models will be recreated. wish me luck xd

[real wyvern]

Yesh you only want on the main particles. So like the rest ne particle shooting out. But all others smoke, trail, crackling etc you don’t want it.

[twin jetty]

would be nice to have the bomben raketen from funke

[real wyvern]

Send you a dm 🙂

[distant lily]

something new https://youtu.be/JjW8CDdjjCI

[twin jetty]

will u reworks all ur items bc they are sooo laggy i locked the magmakralle on my server bc im playing on 30 fps after that one 😂

[distant lily]

Im still working on it, Set 1 is nearly done same with Compound Set 1. next i have to get the models done but i dont know how long it will take. Magmakralle has been reworked too, i could show some of the new stuff 🙂 ..is there a way to deactivate my mods on mod.io without deleting them? so no one has them active until the new update

[distant lily]

When I compare the mod to the current one, I'm surprised it worked at all lol 😂

[shell monolith]

GG @distant lily, you just advanced to level 5!

[twin jetty]

u can hide the mod ig

[distant lily]

Version 2 of Cake Set 1 & Compound Set 1 are ready to be tested & released! <@&1120824646997123214> I archived the old ones, does that mean nobody can play them anymore? because ingame they still show up in my subscribed mods.

[real wyvern]

I think just hidden them just means new players can't get them, but people that already subbed will still have it. I thnk you have to Archive it or something to force people to unsub from it

But the game uses an really old SDK for mod.io - so I'm not exactly sure if the game support these things. However, working on upgrading to new SDK 😄

[kindred nimbus]

Why didn't you just update the mods?

[real wyvern]

Yeah, that would be smarter really

[kindred nimbus]

You can always roll back to an older version on Mod.io, and you maintain the current userbase of your mods

[green jewel]

I’m confused did you update the old ones or are these new ones?

If you updated the old ones there’s no reason to release it as a completely new mod just update the old one

Then people will have double of stuff in their inventory

[distant lily]

i mentioned that in the description, i reduced the max amount of items and changed most of it, i thought to those that have subscribed it would be a bit weird to completly change all items.. they subcribed to the old ones not to the hole new set lol

[distant lily]

some stuff that was there before but most new stuff

[green jewel]

Then I think you would need to update the old mod so that there are not discrepancies in the files you have out there. Because once someone is subbed to the mod they will have it forever even if it’s removed from the workshop. All removing it from the workshop does is make it so new people can’t find it.

Especially with the MP aspect, some would have some files that others don’t and it would confuse players

[distant lily]

arl then i just copy paste all into the old set ?

i mean on mod io

[green jewel]

No just update the old moron mod.io and it will replace all of the old stuff

Don’t copy paste anything just update the one you had up before

[distant lily]

but i can change description and title or?

[green jewel]

Yeah that’s fine to do as long as it’s the page for the original mod that you are editing

I thought you meant copy all the info from the old mod and create a new one that you will then paste all the info to

[distant lily]

hahah sorry im so long awake just want to get this done for today

[green jewel]

Essentially; Update the title, description and file on the old one

No problem

[real wyvern]

Agree, if you have no plans on keeping the old one updated and this is really the new version, just update it. Also if some items are gone or changed. So just do as Amnestey said, I agree

[distant lily]

they have to be reactivated somehow?

[reef trench]

Northfirework can you change the sound of the crackling in your cakes . your mod is awesome all sounds really good ! but the crackling sound is a bit off

the mod is not on workshop anymore but still have the mods ingame and no One can see the mods when they are joining

[distant lily]

there is a update coming that changes both sets, but they have to be activated again on modio. how does it work did i have to do something for it? <@&1120824646997123214>

[fallen lodge]

If your mod was already approved than you don't have to do anything you just update the one that was approved

[distant lily]

which crackling sound do u mean especially? 20mm or 30mm? and what do u mean by saying they are a bit off? maybe its just the effect

[distant lily]

i archived it before by mistake thats the problem

[fallen lodge]

I restored the old one

[distant lily]

ty Keltusar! should i update them again? i mean there is no info that it has been updated

[fallen lodge]

Yes I removed your "new" uploads

So you will have to upload the update you were planning on uploading to them

[distant lily]

ty for helping

[chilly thunder]

Hey! 20mm Ratter Inferno 1s is missing launch sound

[distant lily]

ahhhhh, gonna make a little patch ready there is a particle on launch i have to change too, let me know if u find more sydathe!

[reef trench]

its all crackling effects its just sound unrealistic its like a short Repeating sound

[reef trench]

your doing a great job we love your mods ❤️

[twin jetty]

https://youtu.be/Ocma_r6hY64
new sound?

[exotic glacier]

W sound the piew/echo sound is so satisfying

[distant lily]

Sounds good, i already got my Shell sounds from Startrade, hopefully we will see some Salute shells too this year.. I could try to implement the sound for 50mm or change it with the 45mm, but I have to test if they fit in

[distant lily]

Is there anything u guys wanna see in Cake or Compound Set 2? more real cakes or custom? I really need some inspiration

[exotic glacier]

we could use some riakeo cakes

[distant lily]

isnt amnestey working on Riakeo cakes and compounds? dont want to double everything xd i got the riakeo phoenix of fire 50mm done, but i dont know if its for set 2 or later 🙂

[exotic glacier]

hey maby some strobe rockets or even girandola cakes would be cool. to have

[twin jetty]

i dot get any ideas for cakes but i have many ideas for rockets ike klasek tiger rockets lonestar v1 funke super bomben raketen or like the iskra alpha

[exotic glacier]

also a cake i would like to see still is the viper.

but we alr have the big lui and thats almost the same caliber of salute

idk i want to mod but there is so many buttons that idk what means what. i tried to search tutorials but i cant figure it out how to mod the way other people do

[distant lily]

for the next update the real cakes will get their original labels, this will continue for the future sets as long i can get the labels.. there are still items that wont get them, due to numerous reasons, like the ,,Mei Banfa", ,,Krawallmonster 3", ,,Red Ram" because i couldnt find any labels for them

[exotic glacier]

omg yay great job on the labels.! they look stunning!

[shell monolith]

GG @exotic glacier, you just advanced to level 5!

[twin jetty]

i think the gold bomber could be more red 😂

[green jewel]

Man some people are just never happy

[twin jetty]

that was a joke bro

[distant lily]

Some progress on Models and the very first custom Label

[exotic glacier]

omg they look stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!

[real wyvern]

Wow! Looks really good!

[twin jetty]

best modells ive ever sen

[distant lily]

a new Mod is ready to be released! <@&1120824646997123214>

[exotic glacier]

wowwwwwww

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[hidden epoch]

when is it coming?

[exotic glacier]

soon

[distant lily]

its uploaded on Modio so its depends on the moderators

[twin jetty]

yo i made a god of lui today

[distant lily]

nice!

[distant lily]

again progress on models. does anyone have labels of cakes? 🙂

[exotic glacier]

oohhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

[twin jetty]

yup

but i need to collect them first they are laying around somewhere

[hidden epoch]

little item request: would be very cool if you make Funke Silberpalmen Bunt (i-shaped version) and Funke Neon Knights. If you're interessted in doing them i can give you the labels

(not the albert neon knight)

[distant lily]

There is a Funke Set coming, so both could be very useful!

[hidden epoch]

alr, i send you lables

dm or here?

[distant lily]

Just like u want, maybe u got some more 🙂

[hidden epoch]

message'ed you

[shell monolith]

GG @hidden epoch, you just advanced to level 4!

[distant lily]

The next Set is ready for a release! <@&1120824646997123214>

[exotic glacier]

omfg jeez!!!!!!!!!!

[real wyvern]

You are too fast, can't keep up *:D

[distant lily]

its the last one i promise xd

[shell monolith]

GG @distant lily, you just advanced to level 6!

[real wyvern]

Approved, worked perfectly, save/load and no errors and cakes disappears after they are done - perfectly 🙂

[real wyvern]

Please no 😄

haha

[distant lily]

cake & compound set 1 will get a patch too today fixing the duration u told me about!

[real wyvern]

One minor thing though, that I saw now...which isn't really a problem, just a smart thing to avoid potential problems...but the name of the actual mod file. Don't have spaces or special characters, you have spaces in it.

Startrade - Draco Set.mod

Again it works fine, but its best to not have spaces like you ahve here

But you can esially fix that in an update 🙂

[distant lily]

good to know ty!

[fallen lodge]

You will get a problem in case you send someone the mod via discord as discord replaces all spaces with _ and mod files can't be renamed ese they are broken

As long as it's just via mod.io it will work fine 😊

[real wyvern]

Yeah, I think I'm just biased working as a developer for 20 years now and have seen so many issues during the years that was due to something as stupid as a space or an odd character in a file name 😄

Becaue yeah, here it's no problem really, but yeah... I just get a bad vibe is file names with spaces when it's suppose to be used in some kind of code 😄

[fallen lodge]

Yeah the German characters äöüß will break the game if your mod uses them

[real wyvern]

Exactly, we have the same in danish æ,ø,å you NEVER use them in anything as a developer as you know it will mess up things 😄

[reef trench]

+cant wait for this awesome !

[reef trench]

we love it ! thanks ! - will love to see you making some Shells we really neeed new shells for shows ❤️

[twin jetty]

only shells i made so far is the god of lui aba 2500bl and a gold crown

[distant lily]

Funke Funke Funke

[exotic glacier]

[reef trench]
