BG1 had a smoke trail following fire arrows that looked like this:

Is it possible to restore it in the BG2 engine?

BG2 fire arrow projectile does have smoke puffs, but they're generated with a delay by default. I've colored the puffs red so it's easier to see them:

I can easily remove the delay:

That brings it closer to BG1:

Thank you, skellytz. Its a potentially nice-to-have nostalgia feature, in my opinion.

I can add this as a component of Nostalgia Pack for the EEs. As for the classics, it's probably going to end up in the upcoming BGT Final Touch.

Excellent! Can you tell us a little more about this BGT Final Touch, skellytz?

[skellytz]

Soon! It's going to be a small collection of tweaks and restorations.

Exciting news!

 

Thanks, skellytz!
