[WIP] Fire effect

[Karle94]

I have been experimenting with the fire effects of the big caliber guns. I have always felt that the stock fire effect has too little flame and smoke. So I replaced the old texture used by the guns and replaced it with the texture for explosions. When I tested it it looked better, but not perfect. When the smoke/flame began to dissapate, the game crashed. Don`t know why. So I made a new file, based on the explosion, but the effect part was smaller. When I tested it it worked just fine.

Here`s some before and after shots:

After


As I said, it`s better. But it ain´t perfect. It`s a little narrow at the middle. When the effect dissapates it still leaves behind white smoke. If you could help me, then feel free to make a donation on your way out.

P.S. I am also making a new sound mod for the main guns. These sounds are from the movie Otokotachi no Yamato (or simply Yamato). The new sound might work well with the new fire effect.
