Version 1.0.0
Removed explosion light, flame, and sparks from all bullet impact effects.
This mod removes the explosion effect added to all bullet impacts by Hitman 2.
For Hitman 2 and 3, small explosion effects were added to all bullet impacts regardless of what the bullet collides with (including humans). These explosions consist of light, flame, sparks, smoke, and debris. This is obviously not very realistic, and makes it appear as if every weapon is firing explosive rounds instead of normal ammunition.
Fortunately, I was able to completely remove the explosions from bullet impact effects from all weapons to all materials. This leaves only normal expected impact effects. The difference is especially obvious when firing on human targets. Some of the blood effects were missing, but I was able to fully restore them using Hitman 2016's. Note: Intended similar effects, such as sparks when shooting metal, are not affected by this mod. No particle effects other than bullet impacts are changed in any way.
