Hi,

I'd like to know if this mod is compatible with the Combat Mod. I've got that one and i don't like the engine trail effect, so I tried to use your mod. I first made a fake patch, but it didn't work, so I converted it into a .spk file, but once again I saw no changes.
Have you got any idea of how to solve this issue ?

Thank you.

PS : Please excuse my bad english, i'm french :roll:

EDIT : Sorry, I didn't see that the same question was asked 3 post ago.

hello bounty_hunter66

i think i found a bug in this mod

im not getting ship rewards from corporate missions and treasure hunt when using this mod
for example when i have finished the last mission in treasure hunt, got message that i received my xperimental shuttle, but none is visible in argon prime shipyard

so i removed your mod, reloaded game and now i get xperimental shuttle
with NMMC corporate missions a had similiar problem on 4 rank i didnt get my prototype

please check it

sorry for my english, not my native language

greets

This mod is not compatable with the last couple of pacthes. The reason you are missing that ship is that you game dose not have it due to this mod using an older tships file.

Always make sure the mod you are using works with the latest patch.

I think you only need to change the tship file in your mod for it to work.

I just checked and the 2.5 patch doesnt add a new Tships so the cause is not the patch compatibility

Is there something wrong with this mod? I extrcated it and put it in the mods file and I started the game and there are no color trails? Is there something I need to do to get them to start?

when you startup the game(using the shortcut / exe, not the plugin manager)
youll see a option called "select mod package", gotta enable it in there then start the game.

I did that....
This mod is broken, all I get are black smoke trails on my ships. I down loaded the one off the file front and put it in my mods folder, but I only get black smoke. I'm flying a hyperion right now, so it should be yellow? anyone know a fix for this? Am I missing a file somewhere, there was only the 1 download from file front, so I put only 2 files in my mods folder. Whats wrong here? Its almost like I'm missing the color pack somehow...is there 2 downloads for this mod? I only have found one, and it gives me a trail of black only smoke. Also I just checked and none of the other npc ships have ANY trails at all.

I read theres a way to change the files for the colors anyone know how to do that? Also, does anyone know of a script or a mod that conflicts with this one to make it not work, because I have a lot of scripts/mods in my game. It's so weird I have the dang smoke, but not the color. It's like I am missing the color pack or something! Help Pleeease!!!

What do you mean? You are posting in a mods topic that adds smoke.

Sorry I misread what you typed, joys of coming on here and looking help while doing an essay for uni on EMC. And yes I do read and speak English.

Its easy to make a no smoke mod, even though the current in game smoke is barely noticeable. All you have to do is change the particle emitter value in tships of each ship to 0.
