Description

This mod changes/unifies the color of all fire particles I could find.
Except a few stragglers, because they're in particle sets that mostly contain other things.
But the other particle overhauls will contain the same color settings

Originally, they had some saturated, and some very bland fire particles.
Now, all of them use the same saturation. A bit stronger than the vanilla saturation.

Another change I did, was modify the "ember" particles to use actual fire textures.
Previously they were just a glowing dot.

On some fire, you won't be able to tell any difference, on some you can really tell.
I tried to not overdo the saturation, like on the old particle overhaul I did.

Contains the following PCF's:

burning_fx.pcf fire_01.pcf fire_01_river.pcf fire_01l4d.pcf fire_01l4d_river.pcf fire_fx.pcf tanker_explosion.pcf vehicle_fx.pcf

Thanks to valve's odd packing job of particles, some fire is inside of the environment particle pcf set, which has also been updated to use the same color intensity of this mod.

The blue hue is part of the texture sheet of the fire.
You could get a mod that properly recreates the particle sheet with the same amount of fire particles, but with the blue hue on it.
(Texture only, without editing particles. Which would make it compatible with this mod.)

Assuming most people just load the texture in gimp or photoshop, edit, and save it.
I've seen this a lot in the past decade.

But particle sheets like this have extra "index data" saved within that must be re-created by running each individual fire tga, along a text file, through a tool called mksheet.exe.
Cause editing the vtf as is just deletes all that info, which causes the particles to eventually break and instead of "one flame" you have the entire texture with all the flames on it.

*theres 2 mods that recreate it but both have different issues*

i do like how much more saturated this looks, but ive always felt l4d2s fire particles lacking. l4d1s seems to have more smoke and ember particles, along with a blue hue at the bottom of the fire. theres a mod that recreates the l4d1 particle effect but has some issues.

No, it does not. I thought about adding it, but i haven't spent any time on figuring out how it works.
