That's one of the things I like about dromed. There is always another way to make something work. :)

I came up with this idea using water stim has Rsoul tought me alot of ways to set things using stim reception/reaction during my mission "Religious Conflict" . The torches work like a charm :

Looks good Cardia! I used Jason Otto's torch which look similar to yours in LS2pt2 and the result was good.

I have it already for candles, i saw other custom torch flames bitmaps, but i prefer to keep the ones from dromed.

wow! :eek: it's amazing,i never saw a flame so realistic for dromed. where can i get it? but that means i have to change all flames right? :cheeky:

Would like to see that type of flame added in torches for Thief 1 and 2 and also for braziers and fireplaces.

Well okay, let's think about this. In my city project, where this is from, I made a new SFX object, then linked to it from my torch instead of the usual particle SFX that you see with the normal torch. I did this in case I didn't like it, I wouldn't mod the original.
The issue I found that the "hierarchy op" button for the change didn't work. As it would normally push all changes to children and objects placed already. This is because if I recall, you can't do "hierarchy op" with links. So in your case, if you love the setup, as you demo it before saving, then just replace the normal sfx object's attributes. IE, if it's way better than OM, which I think it is, who cares to modify the original SFX object. I believe this way, all of your torches will be updated in game. I haven't tested though.

I mean yeah. I think this was done for the HD mod, not sure. But like Zylon says, I dunno why authors are not using bitmap fires, it's really the best way to make flames. I will post my setup and share the bitmaps as well in a while. I'm at work now.

I don't mind changing flame by flame to have that new one, can you share a download link? and what are the settings you used for your bitmap in dromed?
