Makes much more sense now

No doubt, I vote TDW_FXU_SplashVert_03.tga

I can increase texture's opacity slightly. But have yo checked it global far distance first?

This definitely needs for a new texture. Is the same texture used by any other particle generator?

Yes, I'll post some screens in an hour..
I'm able now to add new textures to the yesterday's (already edited) files and it will not take much time..
I think something wrong with my PC.. probably sometimes there is some kind of software conflict.. who knows.. now I know that PC's reload enough to solve all the last issues with HEX, controllers etc..

No one in the TDW_FXU_Torp_Explosion_Particles or Materials..

EDIT: maybe would be better if I send you my edited files, so you could to see new effects in action

Okay, I will think about an appropriate texture for the water drops effect.

Unfortunately my overheating problem is getting worse. I cannot test stuff which will take longer than 5 minutes in game

Once and for all I should decide myself to open the case of my laptop, or to buy a new computer...

Not yet, but we are getting close, I think

Initial

.

Delay

.

As you can see, initial effect more or less acceptable.. delay effect needs to be adjusted.. maybe some settings needs to edit.. though perhaps everything might be fixed with the texture editing..

guys if i can help u with a photo gallery where u can upload the photos let me know all it's free i have a hosting and there is some unused space

Have a nice day

I like the initial effect, but I agree that the delayed one is too blurry... I would try reducing a bit generator's emission area (for both delayed and initial) and delayed particle's size.

I don't think so. Both effects use the same texture but, I repeat, from what I can see the intial effect looks detailed and realistic enough. I can increase a bit the opacity of the texture, through its alpha channel, but imo the main approach should be through particle generator's settings

here it is

TDW_FXU_SplashVert_03 .......... TDW_FXU_SplashVert_05

Amother modification of TDW_FXU_SplashVert_03. This time I have skewed a bit the texture and lowered it a bit, in order to reduce the empty space at its bottom left corner. Alpha opacity unchanged. I hope you can appreciate the difference:

TDW_FXU_SplashVert_03 .......... TDW_FXU_SplashVert_06

Reduce size? ok, I'll try that..

I'll try both textures and other suggestions.. emission area and particle's size.. will report soon..

On the other side, we can try to appoint a different textures for both effects

What do you think?

Yes, we can. But what is the advantage? Have you any particular idea in mind?
