Rendrocs WarZone for EiB

Description
[b]Introducing the new HollywoodFX mutator![/b]

HollywoodFX will change every bullet impact and explosion in the game.

[b]NOTE:[/b] Rendroc has also fully integrated jmoney's weapon settings from his Ultimate Realism Mod into the new jmoneyWeapons mutator. You won't need the Ultimate Realism Mod anymore, but you should still download the newest version of of his sound mod, jmoney's Real Gun Sounds Mod v2.0, here:

Ah, "Hollywood": the name promises a lot, doesn't it? Well, it's not really about the quality of effects (it's not exactly Avatar), but the type and style that you see in movies. Although unrealistic at times, the purpose of artistic license in these situations is to heighten the excitement, immersion, and utter danger of war, whether you are in a movie theater seat or in front of your PC.

This mutator significantly improves material detection and behavior. Most surfaces in RtH30 and especially EiB default to a few basic bullet impact types of effects. Well, say goodbye to the generic grey/white puffs of smoke.

Dead bodies and animals have their own effect when shot; leaves fall from trees; stone shards are thrown from walls; even glass windows shatter. Bullets will seem to pass through thin cover like hay and wooden crates (although this is still only a visual effect). Lots of bullet impacts in the same area will generate a smokey haze.

The biggest difference you will see is the hedgerow, which now emits leaves, grass, and dirt instead of the default pieces of dried wood that Gearbox decided on for some reason.

Tank round explosions have been enhanced as well. Stone impacts throw stone bricks into the air; shells hitting trees and hedges disperse a ton of leaves.

Some of the sound effects for bullet impacts and have been improved, and the volume the sound of near misses is increased.

The blood puffs from soldiers getting shot now more closely resemble the "pink mist" effect seen in Saving Private Ryan. They also emit blood if hit by a melee attack.

Sometimes you will get some blood on your face from nearby soldiers when they are injured.

The shellshock effect is now more prolonged and has a new sound effect as long as you are also using the CommandMod or RealSights. It will also affect you at a greater distance than before, even though you may not get knocked down.

The HollywoodFX mutator automatically enables the RealTracers mutator and removes the "warning shot" HUD effect if you are using certain mutators. It also includes the new tracers by jmoney from his Ultimate Realism Mod.

Oh, and something... bad... happens when infantry suffer a direct hit from an explosive shell or rocket.
