just did a test with XR-5's, docking ports slightly off, it shows more accurately with the XR-5 port rather than the DG ports

and still no smoke.

here's the .ini so far

You don't have a texture list. It looks like this.

[TEXTURE_LIST]
TEX_1=Exhaust2
TEX_2=Contrail2

The Shadow · Jun 19, 2009

is that the

PSTREAM1=DGContrail
PSTREAM2=DGMain
PSTREAM3=Contrail2

located before the landing points?

MJR · Jun 19, 2009

The texture list is at the very top of the ini file. Let me show you another example.

This is a multistage file so you will have some different things in your spacecraft3 file.

The Shadow · Jun 19, 2009

ok, i'll put that in real quick.

and i still start falling and the landing points put me upside down laying horizontaly

MJR · Jun 19, 2009

Launch points, not landing points. Lol.

The Shadow · Jun 19, 2009

get rid of the landing points?

and still no smoke texture

MJR · Jun 19, 2009

Let me see the file real quick.

The Shadow · Jun 19, 2009

do you want the file or just tell you what it says?

MJR · Jun 19, 2009

Paste it here and I will tell you what to do.

The Shadow · Jun 19, 2009

ok

PSTREAM1=DGContrail needs to be this MAIN_PSTREAM1=DGContrail and so on.

You also need ENG_TEX. Other than that it is fine. Tell me if it works.

The Shadow · Jun 19, 2009

where does the ENG_TEX go?

MJR · Jun 19, 2009

Right before the main particle stream.

The Shadow · Jun 19, 2009

ok

i did the other things and now have smoke, one huge smooth wall that dropped the fps down to 8 and lasted until i was in orbit.

MJR · Jun 19, 2009

Change the source rate to a lower number.

The Shadow · Jun 19, 2009

it was at 20,000 :blink:

MJR · Jun 19, 2009

Thats kinda high unless you have a high powered operating system.

The Shadow · Jun 19, 2009

yeah...

i set it 20 but it's still a little much in orbiter. the srcrate determines how many "clouds" it makes in a certain amount of time, is this correct?

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

and we should probably continue this over PM, it's gone way off topic from "Making textures"

MJR · Jun 19, 2009

Precisly. What it actually is is how many particles or clouds that the exhaust renders in seconds. If you put 500, that means that 500 particle clouds will be produced in a matter of a secind, thus lowering your frame rates the higher you go.

Is everything working for you currently or do you need some more assistance? I will be glad to continue and help you. Just rename the thread to Galzxy development. If you are wondering how to do that just go to where the thread is located at and double click near the name.

Orbiter 2024 has been released!
