[1.8.x-1.12.x] Reentry Particle Effect Renewed [26-Mar-2020]

[xman1]

@jimmymcgoochie - There is a plasma trail from a spacecraft when reentry is going on, just like any other object when entering the atmosphere at high speed.  You either like the effect or you don't I guess, but just wanted to point out that it happens for real.

Is this mod good for rss?

Hey @leatherneck6017I love the particle effect. Thanks for keeping it updated.

Would you mind telling me where the effect is located? It mentions in the description that it uses an unused stock particle effect but I can't find it.

Thanks.

Is this available for KSP 1.11?

The mod loads "Effects/fx_reentryTrail". It's probably located in the asset bundle, so you'd need to install Unity for a closer look.

it probably functions fine -- if you're using CKAN and don't see it, you can expand your available mod versions to include 1.10, etc. Otherwise, install it and report back!

I knew it before you chatted me. It works finer than cheddar. Thx

@leatherneck6017 do you know if the version of reentry particle effect as listed in post 1 of the thread still works with the current version of ksp?

So I've been using this mod with ReStock in 1.12.2 and for some reason only when I reenter with the 2.5 Capsule the effects don't show up. They show up in every other capsule I've tested, and also in every separate piece. Is there some kind of known incompatibility or bug with ReStock or the 2.5 Capsule/heatshield?

Noticed this in someone's logs:

[LOG 17:12:39.677] [KSPCF:MemoryLeaks] A destroyed ReentryParticleEffectRenewed:ReentryParticleEffectRenewed instance is owning a onVesselDestroy GameEvents callback. No action has been taken, but unless this mod is relying on this pattern, this is likely a memory leak.

What?  It’s compatible.

@JonnyOThanI already told him in another thread but he doesn't seem to understand. Now the request to update comes from him in all kinds of mod threads.

Is there any way to modify these effects? Like opacity, number of particles, and so on?
