Doc. Caliban Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I dislike the bright, give-away-it's-location dust plumes that come off of the rear wheels of vehicles when they are moving ... does anyone happen to know which texture I need to tweak to make that invisible? (I did the same thing for the rocket launcher as well, since they don't actually leave a trail of smoke in their wake.) Thanks much! -Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeealex Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) i believe it to be Ike_fx_smoke_dirt.rsb or one of the mist ones, don't quote me. still got a couple to have a go at. Edited March 11, 2013 by Zeealex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc. Caliban Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi there, That was close, and it got me to the right section of textures! It was ike_fx_dust.rsb, and after blacking out the alpha mask to eliminate the effect, vehicles are just that much more realistic now. Thanks! -Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 hmm, might try to edit that to make it look a little less in your face, while still being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc. Caliban Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think the problem is the way the engine uses it. Even if you made it much less obtrusive, it would still be that (IMO) ridiculous little dual rooster tail of dust coming from the back of moving vehicles. (No matter how slowly they are moving, of if they are say ... snowmobiles.) There are very few places on even the Desert Siege maps that would even really cause a dust trail like that, and at night it's totally silly (again, IMO) because they practically glow. I'm not feeling well today, and I am very opinionated on all days, so sorry about the temporary combo. ) -t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeealex Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) true, true, it is one of those fiddly ones, i was going to edit the alpha channel to make it smoother, and lower it's opacity significantly Edited March 12, 2013 by Zeealex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexMods Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Had to resurrect this thread. Anyone published their new ike_fx_dust.rsb? BTW Is the ike_fx_dust.rsb texture also used for helicopters landing/taking off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat50 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 My latest version: https://www.mediafire.com/?8hp0gg2wx2p9d2f Helicopters use the same texture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
