I posted this in the general thread; my mistake.

I am trying to replace the bullet puff sprite for 1.0. Can anyone tell me what the name of the sprite is in the sprite folder?

Thanks in advance.

I would like to know this as well. I want to experiment and try to have bigger and more visible smoke puffs.

Another problem we have is that if you disable particlefx, some terrain, when shot, offers NO SPRITE AT ALL. Nothing happens. Ugh.

These sprites are called:

shot_smoke1, 2, 3, & 4. As well as shot-dust.

Thanks, but that's funny. I tried changing these exact same sprites that you mentioned, but nothing changed.

Will try again.

Well if you look those sprites mentioned look NOTHING like the smoke puffs in-game. They use to be the smoke puffs used in the 2.X-3.X days and are quite inferior now with the particle system obviously. I really wanted to know where the smoke puff sprites are kept too but haven't found them and I looked in the sprites folder. It's funny, I can't find the sprite for when you shoot a sandbag (which IMHO is awesome, but I still wanna tweak it...) and the smoke puff which I won't touch for now, but may decide to beef it up later. I've found sprites for every other effect out there except these too. *shrug* There are a lot of stuff in the sprites folder that are kinda dated, like the zerogexplosion...kinda moot now with the particle grenade explosion. And unless the Dog1 sprites are used in conjunction for another map, then they don't belong either. I think it's all just leftovers. I'm kinda wondering if the smoke puffs are somehow hardcoded in because of the way they react, emitting from different angles and such. So far the rest of the particle effects are basically really really cleverly disguised sprites, or as I've come to think of it, smart sprites! But I think the smoke puffs are a little more complicated, as FA (FireArms, another HL Mod) featured pretty much the exact kind of smoke puffs and debris now in DoD, except quite a while back. I never could find sprites for those too, just the debris sprite which functioned the same as the DoD ones.

Thats what they were in 3.1. I had custom ones and saved them. Is that what they use now for that effect? Dont know for sure. I think a lot of the effects are all incorporated around the particle system and this may not even be modifyable. As Vash said, a lot of the sprites may just be leftovers or obsolete.

Strafe,

Yep, I changed them but nothing happened in-game.

Anyone have any luck? :( :confused:

Well, I know what the sandbag puff is. It's in sprites/effects/debris_dirt3.spr. I have no clue where the new normal ones are, though.

it's the puff.spr

shot-dust.spr is the sprite for when you hit somebody. It can still be replaced. DL free kittens puff shot sprite at the DoD editing center or look for it here. Just type in search "puff shot sprite" :)

Heh... a little self-advertisment never hurt did it? Hehe got your re-release of Free Kittens stuff Lt. Firmalo, used his smoke puffs all through 3.0-3.1

I was just trying to help him out :) Wasn't Free Kitten's puff sprite released back in 2.x? I kept using it all the way till v1.0.
