Smoke Stack MOD ? - Page 3

@fearless. Did you delete the copyofparticles.dat after tweaking the particles.dat?. If you don't the game will use that copy instead of the "newly" tweaked file, resulting in "no change"

@nattydread, the tweak I did here was fast and dirty. The best way is what Anvart did for SH3 I think, mentioned earlier in this thread. Have not had time yet to look in to it.

I assume that Anvart's mod in SHIII hasnt or cant be ported over to SHIV?

I am sure it can, but needs some looking in to. Actually Anvart recommended us/me to look at it for reference

The tweakfile that Anvart did is HUGE!!!!! (respect) hence the time needed to port etc. Its not a 5 min job + all the necessary .cfg tweaks for the ships etc.

well if part of the work is the smoke modding, I'd be more than willing to accept a scaled-down range increase only mod

There are some clues around here...or rather hints/leads as how to attack the "LOD" in SH4. But if you look higher up in this thread Anvart is mentioning that its pretty tricky.

Thanks!

1) Unfortunately new SH4 graphic features do this job not easy ...
