So i take it no one likes my mod?

your mod is cool... but killerog is working on having a exact copy of yours... for now he has only engines with different colours.... but will surely add all types of things to make it better than yours...
And will surely make major improvements over time, to be sure your mod will be never remembered.

that is why I hate competition...

and always post my work into the Community Library, it is like the Patent Office.
As I said before, once your mod is in the Library you can say that all other similar mods that people create after yours "have stolen your work".
And make them feel bad and nasty.

p.s. when I'll decide to integrate a trail mod I'll choose from the best of the two...

And i didnt mean to step on anyones toes with this mod. Like i said i check the stickys, searched and didnt come up with any mod that did this for Tc. Only started this as i added the trails to my X2 ships.

Hi... just wanted to say, no offense to all mod devs, but I tried bounty's mod then 2 weeks later tried killerog's and I have to say killerog's is better. The trails look richer.

Is there a way to add super short trails/particles to capital ship engines?

So I take it this is compatible with your X2 callback mod?

In the earlyer version of my mod, the Boron had blue trail and smoke (like in x2) but after playin for a while i realised......blue trail emitted from a green ship? i dont think so....i doesnt fit. I never understood why ego changed the theme color for boron from BLUE to GREEN. And WHY they removed trails in the first place, leaving only the black smoke and blue static trail for ALL ships

So you see, every person with its taste. I cant please everyone

Killerog could u check if u didn't accidentally change the Dolphin XL Superfreighter's speed to 122? My game has their speed at 122ms!

My x2 mod includes the older version of this. I will be updating the x2 mod with 2.1 compatibility and the newer version of this, this weekend.

Would be cool to make engine trail/smoke for larger ships also! This is a great mod!

I will be looking into this but for the time being it is for small ship only, not enough time to start editing every big ship.

StormMagi · Post by **StormMagi** » Thu, 18. Jun 09, 18:44

Yeah that would be a bit of a challenge

Does this work with your X2 callback mod Killer?

This mod dose not work with it, but like i said above the x2 mod contains the first version of this mod. So you will still get trails ect.

StormMagi · Post by **StormMagi** » Thu, 18. Jun 09, 19:01

Sorry I missed that

What would be the easiest way to get them working together?

killerog · Post by **killerog** » Thu, 18. Jun 09, 19:04

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.

StormMagi · Post by **StormMagi** » Thu, 18. Jun 09, 19:12

How much of the Tship file is actually altered?

killerog · Post by **killerog** » Thu, 18. Jun 09, 19:14

every small ship has its particle emitter value chnaged.

StormMagi · Post by **StormMagi** » Thu, 18. Jun 09, 19:25

So it is just a matter of sitting down and going through umpteen ships to change

I can manage that I think

killerog · Post by **killerog** » Thu, 18. Jun 09, 19:29

lol im working on the update x2 version now, should have it up in under an hour if you can wait.
