Engine Smoke Effects 1.05

Description
Engine Smoke Effects increases the emitter range of the damage smoke that comes from a damaged engine. The vanilla version of the game it's set to a tiny puff ball under the hood, I wanted an effect like the old games on the PS1. This mod intends to do just that.

When your engine gets damaged on the track or in a derby you will see a bigger cloud of smoke pouring from under the hood. The more abuse done to your car the darker the smoke will get until the engine just gives up altogether.

AI cars will also be affected by this mod.

If you play from the cockpit view it will be tough to see in front of you. I can't do anything about that, but it might add to your experience.

There are points where this won't look realistic and realism is not the soul intention. The smoke is not affected by the wind or motion of a vehicle, so when driving the smoke will only puff upward. I don't know how to make it dynamic and I don't think it's built into the game that way anyway.

Reason I created this mod is because I wanted a mod with just the effects and doesn't have all the damage and game-play changes that other mods have.

If you like this mod please rate. This is my very first mod. So if there are any issues let me know and I will try to fix them.

I think so. I don't play multiplayer often as I run a couple of mods and turning them off and on can be a pain. It's probably something you will have to test out yourself. Sorry for the inconvenience.

But does it work on multiplayer? (as effect that only I can see)

I'm glad I could help! I use this on my own game so if something was wrong I would want to fix it. I released it to the public because hey someone else might enjoy it too! if it's broken or not working as intended then that doesn't benefit anyone. I actually have a update coming soon. I'm still tweaking it though.

Moving it in the load order helped. Thanks!

I do love the look of your mod I will try putting it at the bottom of my load order as suggested

Thanks for offering support! To answer your question, no other engine smoke mods. I am using Wreckfest Realism Overhaul https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2502868313 it adds a lot of effects but I don't think it effects the smoke specifically.

I'll take a look at it, it should not be doing that since it only increases the size of the vanilla smoke. I didn't change any triggers, or at least I don't think I did. Do you have any other mods that change the engine smoke? It might be a conflict, if you do have others let me know which ones so I can test and see if there is a conflict. I would also recommend putting this at the bottom of your load order or under any mod that changes the effects on the engine.

I do think it looks neat but triggers at the wrong times. Sometimes triggering when I have no engine damage at all

Version 1.05

Tweaked the size of the wreck smoke, it now rises high into the sky.

Minor adjustments to the smoke effects, placements, emitter areas and velocity.

Increased the lifetime of the grey smoke (Damage 2) should have less of a pop corn or popping effect.

Tweaked colors, some are darker others are lighter, to give the smoke a more dynamic look.

Not sure if new adjustments are resource intensive, my computer is not a low end one so I don't know if this slows or messes with performance. Let me know if it does. If it does it's probably best not use the mod with a low end machine.
