[Mexpex] Thruster FX - Framework (7)

Description
Thruster FX - Framework [TFX]

This mod does not do anything by itself. It used as a framework for other mods


Thruster FX is a framework that makes it possible for modders to easily add particle effects such as flames or smoke to thruster block without the need to setup a custom script. You just need to add a definition file containing the settings and add this mod as a required item. See guide and example mod

Features:
  • Pick particle effects to use
  • Set the active thrust range for each particle
  • Toggle if its an atmosphere only effect
  • Toggle if vanilla flame should be on/off
  • Set custom emissive material. Emissive intensity depends on thrust


  • Some color controls
  • Improve guide
  • Smash bugs




  • For issues
    To speed up the process:
    Before posting, check if you are up to date or if there has been any updates since you had the issue.
    Add the crash log/exception and a description of what you did before,
    Was this in single player/hosted mp or a dedicated server.
    For longer descriptions/issues and logs, make a discussion thread


Guide (still wip)







Some mods that currently use it
Hydrogen Thruster Visuals previous name "Enhanced Thruster Visuals"

Hello everybody!

There might be an issue with using merge blocks: when two grids merge into one, all the thruster effects seem to disappear for both grids.

If anyone else has encountered the same issue, please confirm!

Hi @Mexpex I was wondering if you do commissions and whether you have patreon? I am wanting a cold gas thruster effect. A cold gas thruster releases pressurised gas (I think it is usually nitrogen) so is not a flame. Kind of looks like the thruster is a fire extinguisher.

I have the game crash with this mod and related mods when I select Vanilla industrial large hydrogen thrusters. It also crashes when encounters spawn in with these engines. Is there a mod load order for this one?

@Wellory - Might need to have a look then. I believe there was a similar issue before but that got solved tho..
To be honest i didnt remember Isaards message.. I havnt heard anything about this issue except from the two of you.

For some reason, the thrusters placed in survival (not only from the "Hydrogen Thruster Visuals", but also from the "Highfleet thrusters pack") have bugged texture (they constantly glow and do not emit particles, until replaced via creative, or after reloading the world)
Is there any fix for it?
(same problem as @Isaard have)
