Jetpack Smokes

<div class="IPBDescription">discussion of the Jetpack smoke.</div> i just have a idea, that like the Grenage smoke of CS, the option or variable that can be adjusted for graphic nature, i made a comment in the IRC channel that why not have the Jet pack smoke , be much more realistic, and i got the comment back that well that would look really nice, slower systems would laf. so here is my solution, why not have a option in the configuration just like CS, where smoke, or Jet pack flames etc..
Are a option of graphic detail 1) Low 2) Medium 3) High
or something of this nature, and low or medium being the blue crap you see now, and high being the Realistic smoke.

I would like to hear peoples comments about this.

    Hey, that sounds neat. Maybe this can be added after all the knotts are strightened out, allowing Flayra & Co. to sit down with nice cold ones and relax. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> (By cold ones I mean cream sodas...I love cream soda; I really do! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    I dont like it.

    It would slow down the FPS alot for people if there are like 2 or more marines with jetpack.

    Not everyone has supercomputer!

    Its fine as it is.

    Way to read the post


    It's an idea, reasonable, my only worry would be it would slow the server some more, and possibly help overflow ent limits if there were > 2 marines flying.

    smoke wouldn't affect the server.. it's rendered client side. so if the clients had a way to change the setting that would be fine.

    counter-strike has the same thing for it's smoke grenade. You can lessen the detail for wimpy computers and crank it up for "super computers"

    i think that the jetpack smoke looks like s*** right now. I like the idea of having options to increase the detail.

    i belieive it should be a client side var and not a server setting. Using the same techinque on the server...but the client side would see the different smokes. I believe that is what you were trying to say?

    I bet you could change this with a new sprite for the jet but it would make the fades smoke <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> LOL! I'll check into it

    I think we need to come up with some more desriptions of what needs to be done before he will take it into consideration.

    Or unless someone personally knows him and brings this too him.

    Yeah , i dont believe this is a Bug but i guess its a Suggestion.
    I just dont want it to be another lost Thread, that will never be looked upon on the right people.

    i think the smoke is bright purple for a reason...as an alien, its pretty hard to see the jetpacker but the purple trail lets you track them easily. A realistic-ish smoke would be hard to see, effectively making some sort of high-tech-ninja-with-a-shotgun <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> A better looking bright purple smoke i would agree to. fades can also use a better blink-smoke-thing
