Title: Smoke color for specific buildings.
Post by: Necrolex on February 01, 2026, 02:21:07 PM
Hi everyone! I'm back with another question, hoping you can help me out.

Is there a way to change the color of the smoke coming out of a specific building's chimney? For example, making a house emit pink smoke instead of the usual grey?

Did you tried to play with those lines ?

resource/ParticleSystems/ChimneySmoke/ChimneySmoke.rsc

   // particle appearance
   float _particleSize = 0.15;
   float _particleSizeTolerance = 0.05;
   float _particleSizeAcceleration = 9.0;
   float _particleSizeDrag = 1.0;
   Color _particleStartColor = 0xC0C0C0C0; // <== that
   Color _particleEndColor = 0xC0FFFFFF; // <= and that ??
   Time _particleFadeIn = 0.1;
   Time _particleFadeOut = 3.4;


from i dunno : #FFB6C1 to #AA336A
not sure whay Luke did put so many letters/numbers , usually they are written with 6 caracters. Maybe i think the first 0xC0 is about tranparency specially not sure what should be the caracters of those 4 first caracters with the numbers i mentionned.

Maybe 0xBFFFB6C1 and 0x#BFAA336A which goggle said.

Last year, I made several attempts at working with particles for the game, but I stopped after the last result opened a purple and black dimensional portal that engulfed the entire area where the NPCs were. lol

My idea is to color only the smoke of one specific building—like a place that makes potions or an alchemist's house, something like that.

Check RK's codes for fire. They are smaller.

(I also polluted the area)  ;D

Here is my take on smaller chimney smoke.

Tiny smoke.
