Hi !
I recently did a darker smoke particles.dat for my personal use. The funnel smoke is a bit higher and darker and the smoke of burning ships as well.
Just give it a try. It's JSGME ready.
Here is the download link --> *edit* Link removed, new version is up. Visit http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...638#post614638

Thanks to Anvart for his tweakfile i used and thanks to timetraveler for his minitweaker.

Regards,
Tell

Looks nice !

Good if you can do a manually editing guide, or merge this mod with the "Low Speed Smoke" to have both on one.

Since this 'modded' particles.dat was intended for my personal use only, i didn't document all the values i changed. That was just a playing around with some values to get a feeling of what changes what. But i don't really remember what i changed in the end.
I will download the SLOWER SMOKE mod and compare it to mine and change it accordingly. Maybe i simply ask Scoochy (the author of the mentioned mod) if i can do some minor changes to his mod and release it as a enhanced SLOW SMOKE mod. Credits go in any case to Scoochy of course.
I'll see what i can do.

Certainly the smoke from fires need to be darker, but warships didnt belch out dark smoke and neither did modern ships that werent coal burning.

That's true but nonetheless it's an improvement.
