Will there be a remake/update to this?

this needs to be approved.

@[xG:DM] Scootaloo gotcha, still looks good either way, thanks and gl

@Meh, sorry. I simply misunderstood the terminology. I thought of it as making it MORE opaque, not increasing the opactiy percentage.

But to answer the question, I already have increased the alpha levels to about the highest they can go before we get weird flicker effects. =)

@[xG:DM] Scootaloo sorry i hadn't read the past comments, i understand. and perhaps look up the definition for opacity, i don't know what software you're using but in most contexts, increasing an opacity/alpha value means it will be more opaque/less transparent?

Also, if I added MORE opactiy, it'd be LESS visible and MORE see-through, so that's definitely a no. The trail effect is exactly the same as Burning, smoke an all.

@meh, I've already explained in my creation video why it's not as simple as copying and pasting the color scheme from other purple effects such as poisoned shadows.

The Burning/Scorching effect is based on the flamethrower particles, which are already precolored an orangeish/reddish color. Taking the color code from the other purples results in a blend of the purple color and the reddish color, which creates a very light pink. It doesn't work correctly.

What had to be done was the purple had to be manually created by blending more of a blueish tint with the existing orange and red. The lighter you do it, the farther off base it looks in the final product.

Check out the creation video I linked earlier and you can see perfectly what I'm talking about.

needs more opacity, needs more trails and less smoke.... if you're reusing burning/scorching, why dont you 'copy' over the 'color' from poisoned shadows instead of eerie orbiting fire?

new burning flames?

nice - voted yes as it would be a very nice collectors effect. any chance to brighten it up a bit? maybe call it Eerie Burning Flames? dunno just throwing ideas out... but would DEF love to see this effect in game and Limited due to halloween.

We need this effect, but it needs some work. Too dark like this. Needs to be as vidid as Scorching/Burning.

yep,same here.i swear Scootaloo if this comes into tf2 i give yah a hug #Nohomo.

@MarioForLife, you aren't alone. :D

Millions of yes. I have wanted a purple flames effect for so long

looks damn good and i wanna see it in tf2...tho...nice job.

I actually just started from Burning and applied a recolor. I did my best to match it to the color scheme of Poisoned Shadows, but didn't actually use its particles. Does that make sense?

I'm not very knowledgeable about particle effects, but I'm a bit curious, why didn't you use the particles from poisoned shadows? Excuse my ignorance, I'm just wondering.

I know that people who create hats/cosmetics get the hat they created in Self-Made quality with the Community Sparkle unusual effect (and of course, community map makers eventually get purchasable stamps made for their maps). I'd have imagnine that they would give something to creators of unusual effects, but I'm not sure what that would be. I mean, if they don't, it's probably because unusual effects are (comparatively) easier to make than cosmetics and much easier to make than maps, but anyway, my rambling thoughts aside, good luck getting it accepted!

I really don't mind if I get a hat with this effect if it is actually accepted. Just the thought of possibly being the dude who got it submitted and accepted is totally enough for me. :D

(cont.)
Hats of choice with Unusual effect of choice were never given out just for modelling, only to those people who found and reported (quote) "major economy-breaking bugs or remote-code-execution bugs, and provide(d) detailed information and steps to reproduce".

In the August 15, 2015 patch notes Valve announced that from now on such bug finders would get a special hat (with Unusual effect of choice) called the " Finder's Fee ", a baseball cap with a roach on top. The Finder's Fee "will be awarded going forward on a case-by-case basis"

@xG:M|Armin Armout, Goofy Goober: Why would Valve do that? Yes, normally item creators who manage to get an item accepted are granted said item with Community Sparkles effect, which is kind of hard to do on Unusual effects. But to my knowledge Chaofanatic, the creator of the four End of the Line particle effects (and several more that were not accepted) was not granted hats with those effects. (cont.)

I have updated the file slightly. I increased the alpha levels on both the flames and the smoke, so both are now much more visible than before.

Scootaloo if this community workshop item gets in in the halloween update i'm pretty sure you get granted a tf2 hat with this unusual effect in-game

I don't believe I know anyone calling for an Eerie Plasma effect. It's a pretty predominant demand for Eerie Flames.

Why not make it as a plasma instead of flames?

Simple and visually pleasing. Too many of the unusual effects look over the top and out of place, nice job man.

Added a few more screenshots, as well as a link to my video review of the standard and extended effects.

alright

I'll take a moment and try to add a few more screenshots with different hats, so we can hopefully see it a bit better :D

the effect i find hard to see but it still looks cool
