HotRockets! Particle FX Replacement + Tutorial

[Mecripp]

Is there away to set it so out of atmosphere FX changes like we could have nice flames tell space then in space change it to maybe a stock look ?

Not really sure it's possible with mod current version. Emitters seems to be bound to throttle level only.

The existing atmosphereCurve & velocityCurve are only for Isp & velocity, so you can adjust only (roughly said) engine power with them.

I, certainly, can be wrong.

All main engines to sent the rockets in LKO. Off course rockets already used without any problem.

Really weird. Have no such an issue.

[Preliator]

Yes;.; If you want more informations just ask.

Can you pinpoint which engine exactly (its' name) is overheating abnormaly?

[NoMrBond]

Yes;.; If you want more informations just ask.

Wasn't someone was having this earlier in the thread, where they were getting two engines so thrust and heat was crazy?

What was the solution there

[Horus]

AFAIK, all stock engines params where just simply duplicated & only FX override was done. So, overheating is exactly as it's in clean client install.

I'm not sure... I never had overheat in this cases... less than ever with Kerbal X:rolleyes:

Anyway, the problem come with the LV-T30, LV-T45, LV-909, Atomic Rocket, all the Rockomax and all the solid booster (except the Sepratron I). No problem with jet engine.

Ok, thanks for info. I'll check them later today, yet I'm pretty sure that this FX has nothing with it.

Or you can do it yourself:

- open an engine config from FX folder.

- open corresponding engine from Squad folder

- compare the parameter "heatProduction" (and, just in case, check "exhaustDamage" as well).

[Horus]

Anyways, the KSP project is mainly ok with tweaking everything yourself. So, you can tweak almost any part to your taste.

Any update from Nothke on those awesome SRB plumes ~

I'll post the plugin tonight and everyone will be able to work on those.

Do you have Deadly Reentry installed? You might be using an old version of it.

[Preliator]

No, I haven't DR.

[blackheart612]

What exactly are your mods?

[Preliator]

No, I haven't DR.

I made a big mistake:sealed:

I HAVE dr installed and is the last version 4.3. So I tried to play after uninstalling it and... WOW! I can see your fantastic mod in all his splendor!

Then I tried to re-download, re-unpack and re-install dr... overheat exactly like yesterday... now I uninstalled it. Thank you for your help

[Nazari1382]

now I uninstalled it. Thank you for your help

I'm guessing you didn't get the download for DRE in the original post?

[Guest]

Could you clear your inbox, Nazari? I've got a PM for you.

[Horus]

@MeCripp: found the issue accidentialy.

So sad that sometimes modders are more active than developers

If you re-install the latest dev build of DRE, it should work. I don't use it myself, but I've heard from others that the dev build is compatible with this mod.

Y U NO ADD RAPIER?!?

[Mach_XXII]

Y U NO ADD RAPIER?!?

Because the rapier particles/FX dont need to be changed. They look fine

[Pockrtplanesairways]

good point. they are beautiful. Good job SQUAD!

I found a bug.

The effects are not very responsive to throttle. There's hardly any visual variation on engines. I find this is most problematic on lower thrust engines, which already look more powerful than they are, when trying to land without the HUD, which I usually end up doing while filming cinematics. The Aerospike also has it the worst, where the effect won't even show at lower throttle.

The engines in the picture are set up with the one on the left having a 20% throttle limiter set and the right at 100%.

Yes, both aerospikes are running.

[NoMrBond]

You can tweak the HotRockets! parameters to give a smoother effect gradient

As I'd found that I was basically seeing nothing until ~70% throttle and all the gradient was from there to 100%
