HPE Better Bullet Hit Metal Spark V1.1

Modified Content:

• Spark has collision
• Tweak spark velocity, scale, color
• Add gravity (-9.0)
• Spark fades away
• Increase spark’s lifetime
• More sparks

Update plan:

• Replace vanilla files instead of create a new one
• Change all metal impact particle files
• Change this mod’s name to “HPE Better Metal Impact Effects”

HPE: Hal Particle Effect. I use new particle files to change some vanilla visual effects to make them better.

QA:
Q: At some occasions, sparks don’t have collision.
A: I found an StarfieldCustom.ini setting.
[Havok]
iMaxNbParticlesColliders=64
I increased the value to 1024. There are more collision sparks now!
I post the setting as an optional file

Q: Does this mod change all sparks?
A: No, this mod only changes sparks when projectile bullets hit metal material. A very small mod.

Q: Does it changes other vanilla particle effects?
A: No, I use my own particle effect files. It doesn’t change any vanilla effects.

Q: Loose file version?
A: As far as I know, particle files should be packed in ba2 files. I can’t offer loose file version.

Q: Will this mod cost much performance?
A: Nope. It only cost about 12Kb memory, similar with vanilla one.

Q: Will you make an all-in-one ver?
A: Maybe. There are many materials in Starfield. I will make the version after I make them all
