I just wanted to show you differences..

I was more thinking out loud than explaining: I needed to convert your numerical differences into visible features. Also notice that my excercise is based on my understanding of generator properties, which might be wrong in some cases

Adding new material nodes shouldn't be a problem, and it can be quickly done is S3d. Replacing SmokeAdd is a good idea anyway, as apparently it is not used. Maybe you can replace it with some of Rosomaha's textures; try these for instance:

If you are using Fx Updates, this is probably happening because TDW embedded several textures in his custom material dat files, rather than using textures in the tex folder

Speed, direction, size, opacity, etc of those particles is evolving over time, but the texture that they are using is always the same. In other words, you cannot treat them as single frame of an animation. The advantage of this metod is that you can use relatively small textures, and that due to their randomness and their interacting with the surrounding environment, you will never see the same huge splash in game

The other option is to try and rework the explosions, although I don't know how difficult that would be.

I don't get your point.
What is your definition of 'explosions' and 'water splashes'?
