Thanks

When I write an "how to" for someone, I hope that someone else, a new comer, will read my instructions and will be lured into following them.
Once you start messing with SH object and controllers, no matter for which task, understanding their structure, and the logics behind them, is relatively easy. But future modders (which, by the way, we desperately need for) need for a good starting point; having a fresh memory of my first steps in SH modding, and of how hard was for me deciphering what I was reading on the forum, I try to make my instructions as detailed as possible

Distance and DensityScale in GlobalScaleFar as in TorpExplosionGreat (1000/0.15), others values not changed yet..

03 (PierreE 03 in TDW Materials.dat)

...

I think, we can add another textures to the TDW Materials.dat for RInitial and RDelay effects , and PierreE + PierreE2 will use for TorpExplosionGreat effect only..
What do you think?

Those particles look extremely blurred. What are their size (main and overlife) settings? Have you them by hand?

they are probably specular to RInitial and RDelay, and they will look as bad. But checking them won't hurt

Have you taken the screenshot with sober's smoke screen mod enabled? If so, we should do the following:

1 - Retrieve the original smoke settings
2 - Duplicate the same particle generator (but with sober's settings) and linking it to some other particle generator which is played only when ships get alerted... TDW's flares. for instance.
3 - Modify the duplicated particle generator for making it to behave according to our liking.

What do you think? I hope that sober and TDW will be fine with it
