[E.P.P.M] Enhanced Physics Particle Mod

Description
E.P.P.M breeds new life into Black Mesa with Increased "life time" on particles, debris, broken wood pieces, adding a much more immersive experience while playing the game.




Here are the following changes this mod does so far:


V.1.0.0 (Initial Release):

* Spawned Debris from "Concrete" has been increased by 0.3 %.
* Spawned Debris from "Wood" has been increased by 0.3 %.
* Spawned Debris from "Plastic" has been increased by 0.3 %.
* Spawned Smoke/Dust from bullet impacts has been increased by 0.9 %.

* Debris will persist in the level until you exit the level.

* Smoke/Dust from impacts will linger in the air for a realistic period of time.


WARNING!
Not compatible with ANY Mod that changes the "impacts_fx.pcf" file.
If you have any previous mods OR install any that conflicts with E.P.P.M , then it won't work.



How to install:

1: Subscribe to the mod.
2: Find the workshop folder named: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content/362890
3: Copy the VPK file found inside to the: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa\bms\custom
4: Enjoy!


Optional:

Please give feedback after use!

Any feedback helps me with bug fixing (If any) and adding additional features later on.

Also feel free to rate my mod as well! Thank you!

For those asking, this does conflict with Permanent Debris (why would you need that, this mod already makes the debris permanent) and conflicts with all the VFX enhancing mods. However, this does not conflict with Permanent Shells.

Very underrated mod due to title and tags. Its basically a better version of permanent particles mod by another creator. Thank you for creating this mod.

How do you install this? I heard something about the game doing it automatically now.

so apparently that was someone elses mod but yours starts fine with random words than falls into more chaotic symbols

how did you open the impacts pcf file? looking it up says any normal text editor works and notepad shows chinese with emojis mixed in and notepad++ shows random symbols

Sorry Sarnen but you're graphic glitch seems to be a local problem, the mod only change the time value of the fading for particle decal.
I use it with a tons of mod, even mix it in my own .vpk. Never add problems.
Try to reinstall the game or update your driver.
This mod works just fine

this adds a bunch of pixelated boxes to all sorts of sprites in a new game, all over the test chamber sequence. Doesn't look like its working out. Not using any other mods/workshop items.
