[WIP] Damaged Engine Smoke

Anvart · 07-18-12, 12:24 AM

What and where...
You are seeing existing zones of engines (from Zones.cfg) for Type 7c hull (stock game).
You can use existing zones or you can create new types of zones in Zones.cfg and use them.

Your actions:
* Zones.cfg. Create a new zones in the list... eg:
192 = MyDEngine1
193 = MyDEngine2
* Zones.cfg. Create two sections in UBoat Items part... eg:
[MyDEngine1]
...
Effect1 = ...
...
[MyDEngine2]
...
Effect1 = ...
...
with existing (in particles.dat) or new effects.
* Create new boxes in NSS_Uboat7 *.zon with new zones Indexes.
...
This is a simplified flow chart.
Sorry if I missed something.

Okay, so I have created a new particle generator (based on Racerboy/TDW's exhaust) and linked those nodes to the DieselEngine1 and -2 zones, while using #funnel_smoke as a third effect. Am I on the right track?
Also, brilliant 5-min tutorial

'... based on Racerboy/TDW's exhaust ...'
Don't know what is it...
For these things i used obj_Funnel controllers and custom smokes

Not enough specific information ... but somewhere around that.

Here's what I mean:

The parts in boxes are the particle generators based on this mod: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1496

I will try your method to see how easy (most likely) it is.
