I tried this and it looks nice. Unfortunately it overwrites some missile mods I've made in TRockets.pck.

Do you have instructions so I can manually add the effects in TRockets.pck and keep my other modifications?

Thanks.

Do you have instructions so I can manually add the effects in TRockets.pck and keep my other modifications?

Here are instruction - how can manually add missiles different trail effects:
Open TRockets file with X2 editor and change this "Unknown value" - as see into the screenshot: TRockets
Add each missile numbers 1 - 6 vanilla ships trail effects numbers.
Number into this "Unknown value" are number of trail effect from the "Particles3" file.
Here are list of trail effects (vanilla ships trail effects):

Code: Select all

1: greenish dot structure / argon
2: dark blue cloud structure / boron
3: green cloud structure / teladi
4: Red cloud structure / split
5: Yellow dots /paranid & xenon
6: Khaak
7: Grey smoke (vanilla missiles trail effect)

Other trail effects not tested in missiles.

Brilliant.
