[CS:GO] Colored smoke density and fps drop
VaaLaaKi opened this issue · 2 comments
Is it possible to make the smoke more dense?
I tried different values for "density", but I couldn't get results like the default smoke ingame.
My settings:
"Red"
{
"rgb color" "255 0 0"
"start size" "220"
"end size" "2"
"base spread" "100"
"speed spread" "20"
"twist" "5"
"speed" "80"
"rate" "60"
"jet length" "200"
"density" "200"
"lifetime" "15"
"unique_id" "uid_smoke_color_red"
"price" "1000"
"material" "particle/particle_smokegrenade1.vmt"
"type" "ColoredSmoke"
"preview" "1"
}
These photos were taken from the same angle in the red and default smokes. I'm standing in the center of the smoke.
Red smoke 1
Default smoke 1
Red smoke 2
Default smoke 2
With the following settings I managed to get a similar performance as the original smoke but it is not the best.
"Red"
{
"rgb color" "255 0 0"
"start size" "110"
"end size" "2"
"base spread" "85"
"speed spread" "20"
"twist" "5"
"speed" "80"
"rate" "200"
"jet length" "200"
"density" "200"
"lifetime" "15"
"unique_id" "uid_smoke_color_red"
"price" "1000"
"material" "particle/particle_smokegrenade1.vmt"
"type" "ColoredSmoke"
"preview" "1"
}
Also, the fps drops from 400 to 30 when you get into the smoke, so I'd rather not use this addon. If I may suggest a new color smoke store plugin, I think this plugin works better: https://github.com/vanz666/ColoredSmoke
It is true that, if you stand inside the smoke the colour remains grey, but there is no fps drop and the smoke is the same as the original.
I found a good working version on another website. (https://hlmod.net/resources/grenade-smoke-colors.3920) I'll upload it here in case someone needs it. However, there is a small flaw when two smokes overlap. I have attached photos.
I will close this issues as CS2 will be released soon and this smoke plugin will be irrelevant I guess.
