I understand that the smoke is very demanding, but I was curious if there was a way to prolong the effect? It is cool seeing rooms fill with smoke, but I feel like it would be even COOLER if the smoke lasted more than a few seconds. Like seeing it billow out of doorways and into the sky like an actual fire would be amazing.

take a look in the preinstalled mods there is a "smokegun" the description says configurable smoke effects!

It affects the smoke coming out of the gun yes, but even still it doesn't prolong the smoke effect

Any ideas for any mods? I can't find anything like it :(

no not rly sry what you want is a pretty specific request dont think many people would do something like that because it would destroy performance on a lager scale

Yeah that's why I was hoping it'd be some .ini or console tweak, something I could easily change back if needed

there is a file in the game (Teardown\data\script) with wich you can edit exlposion fire and smoke or so i think i don't know lua but here it is: (if someone know what lines need to be edited you will have my eternal respect and love)

my bad i think it just does explosion. i could be wrong.

wait im dumb just increase smoke.life you can also edit the smoke life of the smoke gun in mod\smokegun. but i didn't found a way to increase the smoke life of fire

i got an rtx 2060 and 50 smoke life seems fine on performance just do a backup of the files before you change anything to be safe.

ps please do not edit :
smoke = {}
smoke.age = 0
smoke.size = 0
smoke.life = 0
smoke.next = 0
smoke.vel = 0
smoke.gravity = 0
smoke.amount = 0

edit those under
"function explosion" small, medium, large.

other guess for fire is script\winddust at the end there is a particle type smoke

(for i = 1, gSmokeParticles do
local life = 1.0)

that could be the life of smoke generated by fire testing it right now

any way to remove smoke?

uhh... there is a lot here, what am I changing? has anything worked for fire smoke? lol

apparently no but you can change basicly every thing else.
in script\explosion you can change those how you like:

function explosionSmall(pos)
[...]
flash.age = 0
flash.life = 0.1
flash.intensity = 200

light.age = 0
light.life = 0.8
light.intensity = 15

fire.age = 0
fire.life = 0.5
fire.size = 0.2

smoke.age = 0
smoke.life = 1
smoke.size = 0.5
smoke.vel = 1
smoke.gravity = 3
smoke.amount = 2

(its under the type of exlplosion: small medium and big)
don't change "age" it will lower the amount.
for the smoke gun you can also change the smoke.life amount. its located in the mod folder.

life reffer to the time smoke "lives" vel is velocity and age is the amount smoke has allready "lived" wich is why it should stay at 0.
if you put life = 30 smoke will not fade for 30sec.

But exlosion have a limit to smoke life. Im trying to find which line of code limits it.


be gentle with it don't put crazy numbers if you dont have good specs.

yes just put smoke.life = 0
