Seems burning oil should have a slick...You guys against any eye candy for the non-purist, external view sub simmer?

Read your quote of me again for the "why". Besides the fact that they were never left out, they were never activated to begin with in FotRSU. FOTRS had them active years ago (the predecessor to FotRSU), and on some computers it was too much. Eye candy is great, so long as it does not "kill" the game... We have not begun testing on what TMS did. It might run just fine on a "modern" computer. We really don't know yet. As a side note, there are all sorts of things "left out" of FotRSU... We have to pick and choose what works best in the mod, more in the interest of stability over eye candy, hence the focus lately on ID conflicts in the mod and game. We are still waiting on a TMS response to the smoke and fire, if it is changed.

Just left out completely...If you look in to the Particles.dat file as they are in latest FOTRSU you will find no nodes for smoke or fire water refection's. However Vickers03 has a mod for the DC water splash that not only restores the oils slicks but the refection's as well. Compatible with the 1.7 as I have tested and found no problems.

Yes, that does function correctly in older versions of FotRSU (possibly up through v1.6). The node IDs in some of the related files are slightly different in v1.7, so you might encounter some issues eventually. We are attempting to "match" everything up for the next release.

Is anyone using this with FotRSU v1.8? Are there any issues or CTD? Would love to get the oil slicks back into the game since they looked great in TMO.

It will not function in v1.8 of FotRSU. There are other nodes in the particles.dat file that have different link IDs that will cause a CTD under various circumstances.

Is that on deck for the future?

A version has been fully implemented already. I had adjusted some of the settings to lessen the "strength" of the look, changed colors etc., and will probably do a pinch more noodling with it yet, but it has been in the mix for a while. The problem lately (for the past year) has been finding time to work on modding FotRSU and finalize things. There are other things we want to move on to..
