    Please make a mod that adds lots of smoke and particles to wreckages.

    Thanks :D

    The titan wreckage already has that, but you might want to get a better toaster if someone places smoke effects on ALL wreckage. Imagine the FPS drop.

    I remember max managed to put so many particle effects on a planet you could not see the ground anymore and his computer is still alive.

    And I am looking for an actual reason to get a better toaster anyway.

    I would do it if I wasn't 300 miles away from my main toaster.

    though since many of them work by shadowing unit specs I would suggest they need updates to not create weird sideeffects.

    Effects file can get pretty dirty to be honest. Uber did a really good job handling that through the server (probably with some good reason too:oops:).

    If it crashes the game then it won't work. Other then that you can see sideeffects like range not being shown right I think.

    Rescaled titan wreckage smoke effect. Still could use some extra work I think.


    heheheh I didn't thought about it while I was typing hahahaha. Kinda obvious :p

    Awesome :D A little big and/or dark in my opinion. Can it be rescaled with effect_scale? Would be cool to have a different size for different units (or the bases they inherit from).

    awesome stuff.
    How does the timing work until it is removed? Can you give it a random component, so on some wrecks it takes waaaay longer than on others? Basically some wrecks that stay "on fire".

    There is a uniform random lifetime only. What we would want is something more like a quadratic distribution though.

    Hi there,

    if I might add to this - some sort of particles for moving land vehicles would be highly appreciated (they seem to be even more "sterile" since the navy finally got some trails) - and I am still waiting for trails on the ground like they always talked about in the early dev videos.

    And finally to kill every last surviving framerate - small smokepuffs AND/OR the rolling smoke when tanks fire their weapons - that would hit it !!!

    keep it up - great work on those smoke particles on wreckages :)
