Fire and Smoke!!

[2win_TOWR]

This time i tried to deal with LOMACґs Smoke and Fire Textures. :D

Iґve never liked those big burning fire animations and those plump smoke columns.

 

So i tried to change this

 

Here are some results:

 

BEFORE: (4 m/s Crosswind) AFTER: (4 m/s Crosswind too)

 

 

 

Here you can see, the fire is smaller and the smoke looks a little "smokier"

 

 

and the last ones to compare

 

 

Unfortunaly the duration of burning vehicles seems to be hardcoded. (or are there any other infos)

 

Feel free to post you opinion! :music_whistling:

 

 

P.S.

 

Now i just have to collect all changed files and then i will upload the whole thing. (Problem is, i´ve lost the overview a little :P)

2win towr.

 

I think you might be able to extend the life of burning vehicles, I did it for the trees in my mission builder to overcome another problem but it should work for vehicles too.

 

Go into Bazar and find the file TechnicsTable, that contains all the vehicles, in the line "life" you have to change the value to something very large to make them burn longer. In the case of trees I hiked it up to 5000000 - they burn for hours now but at least they do not diasappear completely when their normal "life" time has expired, in some cases it was just a few minutes, quite realistic of course in real life time scales but a big empty gap where they had been when their 'life' had expired was not.

 

I have not tried it with vehicles but I would assume it will work the same, different vehicles will burn longer so just find the value that suits that vehicle best, try it and let us know.

 

Nice Mod.

[Mustang]

Yep, this looks good! i'll be happy to try this mod out :D

[PoleCat]

[2win_TOWR]

patience guys, patience :smilewink:

 

Iґm very busy at work at the moment and i wasnt that satisfied with the result.

And i have to pick up the files you really need, which is not so easy, cause i ґve edited almost everything! :music_whistling: (try and error-method):D

 

guess it goes out until weekend.

 

Some updates:

 

[Kuky]

good work!

[SuperKungFu]

dude that is awesome man. More rep to you. Does this help in fps? that would be awesome if it did, looks better and better performance, everyone should install that.

[Lotham]

That's freaking good job you show there :thumbup:

I love the blast effect and I beging to ask myself : how could I lived without until this day ?

 

 

Just one thing, on the secpond screen, the burning train, I find that the flames could me more visibles... Just my opinion, but I fiond your work really good at this point :)

Thx a lot for enhancing L.O :)

[Sytse]

Fantastic! Never thought of altering the fire/smoke effects, although I never really liked the default effects. Yours look great! However, I think the fire could be a bit more orange, like the fire on the ship. That's perfect! :thumbup:

[Boberro]

I also rather didn't like oryginal fire&smoke but I feel here the fire is faded too much and has no colors, or I have something wrong with my eyes.

[2win_TOWR]

cheers :beer:
