Description
Photon VFX Smoke Addon

An upgrade to smoke visual effects - changes the shape of the particles, and less total particles spawned. Hopefully FPS performance is a bit better than vanilla smoke. Changes affect smoke grenades, grenade launcher smoke rounds, and smoke artillery rounds.
Smoke grenades interact with AI the same as a vanilla smoke grenade. No AI changes have been made.

Compatible and recommended to use with Photon VFX mod (but not required) :

* Not compatible with "Splendid Smoke" or its derivatives.



I'm very open to feedback, so drop a comment below!

This plus the main Photon VFX mod are a must have for me now. Better visuals and better performance than vanilla. Amazing stuff.

Since this doesn't suddenly allow AI to see through smoke, any clues why I might suddenly have that problem? I don't use Splendid.

Both mods are altering the same config values, so one would override the other, causing a conflict.
I'm not 100% sure how Splendid have configured their stuff to affect AI more, but both mods alter the particle effects in different ways.

Could you explain why is it not compatible with "Splendind Smoke", do you know the reason? I really like Photon VFX, but at the same time I would love smoke to affect AI more.

SPE has their own smoke shell effects, I have no plans to change things for SPE at this time, maybe in the future but I haven't set any time aside for it

Would it be feasible to make this compatible with Spearhead's smokes? They seem to be using a different config and not inheriting from the base.

Can't play without it. It even saves me some FPS. Excellent job! Thanks. :steamthumbsup:

Does it have at least slightly more smoke than vanilla? I currently use Enhanced Smoke, but it does impact fps and is a bit too much smoke, anyway.

Only smoke grenades and smoke rounds for artillery, as stated in the mod description : "Changes affect smoke grenades, grenade launcher smoke rounds, and smoke artillery rounds."

@Illu
Read the description and previous comments, your question has been asked and answered several times - this mod does not change AI for smoke, so no, it does not affect AI vision like with Splendid Smoke.

This changes only smoke grenade and smoke rounds or it's also change explosions smoke and burning vehicles smoke?
