Adding a realplume effect to a certain file?

[Anjomar]

Hi! I was wondering if anyone here knows how to add a a smokescreen effect to a certain file. I'm currently running Realism Overhaul with SSTU. When I installed Realism Overhaul, it added a part called RSRM(Modular) I've been using this extensively and the original plume effects it comes with isn't too visually pleasing (Basically, stock). I tried to create a smokescreen .cfg file for it myself but when I create it, the rocket loses all plume effects and when I go to the smokescreen effect, it doesn't have a particle model effect that I can open up and config it with. Anyone familiar with this and can help?

Can we see this RealPlume config?

      //plumePosition = 0,0,3         //Specify flare and plume positions separately.

        energy = 1                      //Adjust length of plume
        speed = 1                       //Adjust speed to fit resize, 
                                        //generally close to 1:1 with scale.
    }
    @MODULE[ModuleEngines*]
    {
        @name = ModuleEnginesRF
    }
    @MODULE[ModuleEngineConfigs]
    {
        %type = ModuleEnginesRF
        @CONFIG,*   //Add the effect to every engine config
        {
            %powerEffectName = Solid-Lower
        }
    }
}

You are missing a "powerEffectName" field in the "ModuleEngines*" module. If your part config does not have a global engine configuration then the "ModuleEngineConfigs" will not apply it's patches. The fallback "ModuleEngines*", since it is missing the field, will not apply a plume.

In the end, no plume will appear.
