[REL] black smoke 1.5

vickers03 · 03-29-08, 07:52 AM

hi,
here's a ROW inspired but heavily edited thicker
black/brown smoke for 1.5, now visible over horizon.
also there was a bug in the row smoke where it
dissapeared when the emitting object was out of
sight.

updated: darker now, with reflections affected by fog

compatible with stock 1.5, RSRDC, W_Clears Environment Mod

JSGME ready.

Hi Vickers!
is this smoke actually black?? I'd love to see a really BLACK smoke in the game. The row tweaked one is nice, but too brown for me..

Excellent! I pick and choose the mods I want for environment. I was hoping for a separate smoke mod. Thx a million!

Don't know if this is any help at all. There is the 'Smoke_volum02' TGA file in this mixture of TGA mod files I put together for SHIII (SmokeFire_textures_TGA.Zip) which I darkened. Not sure how it would look in SHIV though. On my File Front page.

I took the liberty of some screen shots

With the smoke mod:

Without the smoke mod:

As you can see it is darker and more visable. You could go even darker IMO

Looks good and I will continue to use it.

update: slightly darker now and with reflections

AVGWarhawk · 03-29-08, 10:31 AM

Cool. Will give it a go!

AVGWarhawk · 03-29-08, 07:51 PM

The darker smoke works just fine.

Good one kaleun,

Nice looking smoke and reflection

but you see reflection without smoke. The ship is too far or behind fog. look

Any change to fix that ?

I staretd a new US career with 1.5 and this add-on. I was heading south, west of Luzon when I came across a medium Japanese convoy heading north. I saw the smoke on the horizon before I saw the ships. Very nice touch and nice addition of realism.

JSGME says that:

"particles.dat" has already been altered by the "ROW Pacific Environment FULL" mod.

Will you please what it changes in the dat file and how will it affect PE?
