Some of the effects posted earlier are the cinematic effects mods by Soccorista over at Ultrapack. Great mods but there are two different series, one for gameplay, and one for movie makers.
The gameplay versions are awesome, and greatly enhance the looks of plutonium efects pack.
The movie maker versions require signifigant work to make look right in gameplay. Add the fuel truck explosion effect, fire up the black death and watch the convoy attack 10 times and the effect will present itself in game 10 different ways, and half just don't look right lol.
But again, they are for movie makers, not gameplay. The gameplay versions are spectacular and run beautifully.

As to plutonium effects, on the two machines Ive run it on it actually improves framerates over the stock effects, on my last machine by more than 10fps when there were a lot of particles being generated. And with the advances made by the mod community in the form of UP3 and DBW the old 2d effects are simply an eyesore.

But that says nothing of TD. They work with the stock game. Why would they revamp the effects when they arent revamping the rest of the game?
