To get the newer effects of this mod into the x2 mod you would need to extract this mod and find the files 406.jpg and the particle3 file and put them in the x2 mod. It should replace 2 files in that mod.
This would give to some of the new effects but its the best you can do with out touching the tship file.

I check my tship files none edit the dolphins speed. And the bug i was refering to was the one where it woudl turn into a ball if the ship went too fast.arcana75 wrote:Hi killerog, I saw ur OP update. Does "speed bug" refer to the dolphin speed or the smoke appearing infront during seta for fast ships or something else?
The bug where it appears in frount i cant fix.
Check the 3 pages in this link http://after-domination.net/xfpboards/v ... 88a0082c77 for a few topics on the subject, i dont have the time at the moment to write anything about editing them.
wow. The mod is great.
But i just recognised some "bugs". Well it's not a bug, it's just looks not so good.
Most of the ships have just one engine right in the back-center. So with this mod, there's just one particle emmiter activated an it looks fine. (That's the entry in the tships...)
But some of the ships look a bit unproper. I shot a few images to show what i mean...

The hawk ('Raider' i think?) has got 4 small engines placed in a rhombus. (Here are just 3 engines and the engine effects are missing, i dont't know why, the image has been shot from a simple Teladi Hawk...) But the particle emmiter creates the engine trail just in the center of the ship. A better example is the paranid M5 with it's huge engine section. Just one trail out of NO engine. The Eclipse is a good example too.

Lot of other ships have the right alignment and number of engine trails (like the khaak-ships)
Now my question: Is it possible to edit all the ship-scene-files to add more particle emmiters to such ships? (or doing something else that results the same?)
I'm sure, when this mod reaches gold status, it'll be added in the Superbox. The trails look great, the effects look good (finally the same colour effects like X-BTF, X-T and X²), the Idea is great

Was nich geht, geht nich... oder doch??
hmm ok, then let's go to work
I just managed to "repair" the eclipse's engine, take a loot at the result:

Maybe I'll make a list of ships that look not that good and add them the engine trails, when you agree...
