Smoke comparison +picture

[gamita]

hey guys,playing a little bit the new version of the game, first I realized that the smoke is taller than in 1.6.
This is a comparative screenshot with the awp spotng from ct in dust2 to TT. It shows that from that point you are not able to see what is happening in TT base, or viceversa from TT to CT, because the smoke is taller and more dense in the top. This is not a bug but i think it has to be corrected.

You can also compare the crosshairs when zoomed in, but i think this is good and is not a noticeable difference ingame.

Please feel free to give your opinion ^^

First, Mazzer i'm so happy for see one devloper (not counting alba) active at the forum....

Second.. I've noticed that T-CT there is not the same as in cs1.6... It's a big diffrence beetween the 2 games and looks weird at cspromod (maybe cuz im used to 1.6?) i'm tired of school and i have no patient to make a post with all i want to so right know i wont provide comparison ss..

Nah, should be the same. It's like saying it doesn't matter if bullets get a delay because it happens for everyone, saying it doesn't matter if grenades do more damage because it happens for everybody and stuff like that.

Just copy 1.6 :p.

Honestly, you should stick with the smokes you have now cuz now at least the smokes are not pointless like they are in CS1.6. I really like the thickness of 'em.

[rvT]

Yeah I like CSP smokes, they are okey (I'm 1.6er) ;p

[n69ky]

well maybe they are "to strong" ? :O

[blackaddR]

If they're too strong so you can't see further down range, people are unhappy. If they're too weak so you can see through smoke and see further down range, people are unhappy. No win situation.

The size itself of the smoke pretty much matches 1.6 as well as the opacity at the center; however, the opacity of the outer parts differ in 1.6 compared to the center: http://bugs.cspromod.com/tiger/smoke.bmp

Whereas the opacity is the same for the whole cloud in CSP. Someone who knows the Valve Particle Editor well would be useful to try to mimic that effect.

Just copy 1.6 :p.

lol, thx for taking my point out of context of "smoke doesn't go as high as it does in 1.6", marginally i would add, and saying that i dont think it matters about grenade damage, thats totally unrelated.

This is 100% true, and not just with the smoke.

This was what Xizt said talking about the latest beta of promod:
"Then maybe I should add that the smoke and flashes are sick overpowered"

[DanLegenD]

a lot of people think that flashes are overpowered because of their dxlevel. I think they are both tactically fine.

[fingerling123]

I don't get why the flashes differ from videocards and dxlevel...why don't they just make the flash just a white jpeg over the screen and make it fade out, i think that won't differ from any pc ?

[steelchamp204]

the smoke are fine but the smoke last to long

That's how it's done IIRC. Not with a JPEG, but a white overlay which fades by function.

Sorry, thats not what I mean. I mean that if it's possible, be consistent and make everything the same. Saying that little things like these don't matter in the end won't do good for the quality of the mod. I just exaggerated it a bit to make it clear that you have to be consistent or you might as well be careless about other things, like grenade damage.

You can't make 100% 1:1 copy...

But we can about 85/90% with Particle Editor.
