Jetpack issue

[Maui]

Heya jkhub,

 

I've recently downloaded a jetpack mod but there's an issue with it. The fire ain't coming from underneath, but from the back. It has a RocketTrooper Jetpack and the fires come out further away from the jetpack (so you have a opening between the jetpack and the fire) and instead of going straight, it goes in the wrong angle.

 

What can I do to fix the fire?

looks like JKG jetpack

I have no idea why does that happen, but if I had to guess, I'd think that maybe it's related to the fact that it's using the common jetpack's efx and not the rocket trooper's one.

Still waiting on a fix though.

Replace it with another .efx file? Or find a jetpack mod which uses a different effect or none at all, and use that .efx file.

Didn't fix it, I tried the default jetpack efx but eh..

mmmm i suppose is a tag orientation problem of the model. you can set an efx for a specific jet direction of the particles, but need to be an efx make for the particular tag angles.

it's like the error of the bad orientation of the tag_blade1 in a new saber model. the "cutting blade trace" can be oriented at 90° right or also, opposite to the blade model... i guess the better fix is to check and edit the model and its tag orientation and re export it.

but it's a strong work because you need to know EXACTLY the correct orientation. it can require a large amount of try  and errors.

Can you give me a link to a good efx tutorial?

I tried to find it here but I couldn't find it.

 

I'd like to learn about weapon making, vehicles, and efx files

I know that You can change the origin placement in efx file. But i am not 100% sure it would work for the whole effect
