custom exhaust?
« on: June 04, 2011, 11:58:17 AM »
I'm trying to do something like the red torpedo exhaust for the "ancient" ships, but I can't find where its defined (since I wanted some black smoke to go with them, rather than the red puffs of the Torpedo engine effect)

The actual engine glow styles are hardcoded for now. The launch smoke, though, is defined in the .wpn file - look at smokeSpec in reaper.wpn for an example.

yeah, I saw the launch smoke, but that only works on the launcher, and would have no effect on a ship's engines.

Oh well, the standard torpedo engine will serve for now  :)

Ahh yeah, I misread your post - didn't register that it was for the ships. Gotcha. Well, at least it'll be less puffy-looking since they're going to be slower than torps.
