[CS:GO] Colored smoke density and fps drop #165

Closed VaaLaaKi closed 1 year ago

VaaLaaKi commented 1 year ago

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.

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.
