HotRockets! Particle FX Replacement + Tutorial

[DasBananenbrot]

The exhaust of the nerva is not (very) radioactive. It is hydrogen that has been heated by a nuclear reactor. There are no fissile materials in it (unless there is a problem with the cladding)

and radioactivity cerainly doesn't glow green well only in comics

[Psycix]

Well it can, but it's not the radiation that glows green. It is more like fluorescence or phosphorescence where energetic photons are absorbed, and then released at a longer wavelength (which is visible light)

I would like to add sound to ion engine,where do i put my sound to be recognized?

See this mod for details. The folder order has to be correct.

Awesome mod. Love using it. Only two minor issues I have with it. At low throttle the engines have an unnatural exhaust plume, it shouldn't be that big, also there is no sound. Second is the jet engine looks beautiful, but the high tone sounds too much like a harmonica. It should be single sine tonal if you are going for the turbine whine.

I have previously used this,and works,but if i use with this mod,the sound is gone,so i guess the sound must be set in MM.cfg for this mod.

It is, and the sound lines are removed from the ion engine. You can try copying the sound modules from another engine in the cfg and switch out the names for custom sounds (might need to name them modfolder/soundname)

[sebi.zzr]

do you mean like this:

AUDIO

{

channel = Ship

clip = modfolder/soundname

volume = 0.0 0.0

volume = 1.0 1.0

pitch = 0.0 0.2

pitch = 1.0 1.0

loop = true

}

}

EDIT:i made new folder GameData/sound/Sounds/sound_ion.waw and works:

AUDIO

{

channel = Ship

clip = sound/Sounds/sound_ion

volume = 0.0 0.0

volume = 1.0 1.0

pitch = 0.0 0.2

pitch = 1.0 1.0

loop = true

}

Thank you

Im gonna have to keep my eyes on this and watch as it mature a bit! Looks very promising with lots of potential!

[AdmiralTigerclaw]

Hmm... What this needs is for the particle spray of engine exhaust cone to react to atmospheric pressure.

That way you can get your shock diamonds at sea level, and huge gas gones when you're up near Space.

Probably, as they would search for ModuleEngine instead of ModuleEngineFX, so it would break.

MJ works fine with ModuleEngineFX

RCS build-aid was bugging out this mod, BUT now they have fixed it and updated RCS bulid-aid

[Matrix Aran]

Has anyone yet considered trying to write a config to use these with Interstellar Mod's engines?

[Mokmo]

I'm not ure if my situation is because of the mod or my low fx settings, but my Skipper and Mainsail engines have actually lost their effects. The LV-T45 works just as advertised though.

EDIT: And a restart fixed it it seems... Oh well

Any updates?

Is it possible to make the engine effect get larger with rescale? I wanted to size-up my edited ion engine, and the effect stayed small. Do I need to make a new effect for that scale, or use a different one?

[Flixxbeatz]

BEAUTIFUL

will try this sometime. Ion engines are now less boring

I've been trying to figure this out myself and so far no luck.

This is the problem

[mushroomman]

Something I just noticed, I don't know if this is with every engine or just the poodle, but the effect doesn't decrease when you turn the throttle down. The sound just goes down.

You can't do this right now, but you will be able to when Sarbian's plugin is out.

Probably looks that way because of the speed - the emission ramps up but the speed starts off high

Could you add configs for mods like KW?

If someone would like to set up a config for kw they can; I can't get to it atm.

can l edit this mod? not distribute

can l edit this mod? not distribute

You can edit any mod for your own personal use. If something explicitly says you can't, it means you can't tell anyone about it

[nianor]

The install instructions left me a little confused. How do I do this again? Any videos out?

Should look like ksp/gamedata/MP_Nazari
