Slipper - If the limit is 128 I can't help I'm afraid.  I'd look at getting the particles replaced with new ones once the old ones expire instead.  Should look alright if you can get the timing right.

Arquillos - think the font was for the hud, but can't remember for sure.

Thanks for the reply mate.

So leave finishtime at -1, and adjust livetime Is that what you mean?

Sorry to be a pain in the butt, but you the guru when it comes to effects.

If remember well, 128s is the limit for LiveTime.
I tested it when I made the nuke effect.
You can increase the number of particles.
It is 128 too, because 1 particle for each second are 128 particles in the air, at the same time.
particles = LiveTime x EmitFrq

But I noticed a small gap in the end of 128s, so, I think one or two more could be better for FinishTime -1:
nparticles = LiveTime x EmitFrq + 1
nparticles = 128 x 1 +1 = 129

Be aware that nparticles has big impact on FPS.

Thanks Santobr 

Slipper, I wouldn't use -1 unless you want your nuke to last until the end of time...

If you get the correct balance of livetime and emitfrq you should be able to have a very high smoke column that lasts as long as you want.  My smokes for example go up to 800 m with a livetime of 36 and last until the end of time...

I imagine the dificulty will be with the "head" of the mushroom.  I can't think of a way to make that last as long as the smoke column at the moment.

Isn't the whole point to drop the nuke, and get the h*ll out of dodge? Unless you want to hang around.. and become a Ghoul..

This is what Im working on "smoke trail" better than square trail. Thanks to Santobr, Thanks Buddy. Dont mean to hijack your thread Gurner.

Santobr and Gurner

Thanks a lot for your help and advice, will carry on testing. Trying to get the smoke from mushroom cloud and column to rise and disperse, while also the smoke at the base lingers for a long time. Not having a lot of luck yet.

cheers both

I have been using Gurner's wonderful effects mod for quite a while now, but because I run a hand modded 4.09m version, I first had to delete all java class files in order to avoid crashes and bugs.

Although I am very pleased with the result, I was aware that there was a price to pay, not using the java class files deprived me of several effects, so i decided to test them one by one in order to be able to use the ones that don't crash my game.

Here is the result, except that I left aside all trains/wagons related java class files in order to save time, I'll test them later and report back ...

It goes without saying that all credit goes to Gurner ...
