README
Is an AMXModX plugin that enhances the smoke grenade effects in Counter-Strike 1.6 (and CS: Condition Zero).
## About
This plugin recreates smoke grenade effects (puffs of smoke) on the server side,
provides a more realistic look to smoke grenades in the game
(as it was changed in later iterations of the game such as CS:S, CS:GO, CS2).
### Why is it needed
The default smoke sprite (`sprites/gas_puff_01.spr`) is too transparent
and doesn't allow you to take advantage of the smoke grenade in gameplay.
### Advantages over standard game smoke
- Improved transparency of the smoke cloud;
- Fixed poor smoke density in 16-bit video game mode;
- Smoke doesn't disappear on HLTV;
- Smoke can't be abused by reconnecting to the server;
- Smoke is always created (even if the client has a congested network channel);
- Ability to change the visual look of the smoke cloud.
### Advantages to other similar plugins:
- Ability to set any custom sprite to display smoke;
- Client FPS doesn't drop much;
- Server FPS doesn't drop much;
- The server doesn't flood the client's network channel to display the smoke cloud;
- Doesn't break compatibility with the game:
- Bots understand where smoke is located;
- Cannot see nickname through smoke (mp_playerid);
- Hostages can react to smoke grenade;
- Overview map can show smokes.
- Easy to adjust the color, duration and performance of the smoke cloud;
- No render bugs when positioning the smoke cloud on water;
- Smoke cloud has a very close to the original visual appearance (authenticity);
- Smoke cloud doesn't stay in a new round;
- Cannot be abused with the client command `fastsprites`;
- Smoke doesn't disappear before its lifetime expires;
- Smoke doesn't disappear if the player's internet connection is poor;
- Smoke doesn't disappear if you move away from it.
- Smoke doesn't flicker.
### How it works
The plugin blocks the sending of the event to the game client
and recreates smoke clubs using server-side entities,
exactly repeating the shape and animation of the standard smoke.
### Important note
> If the smoke effect is fully recreated (`amx_smokegren_replacemode` == `3`), the server load is increased 2x.
> Using full smoke grenade recreation (3) is not recommended for servers
that have more than 10 players online (e.g. servers with 32\32 players online).
> Also be careful with setting the parameter `amx_smokegren_pieces`,
it directly affects the shape and quality of the smoke grenade,
affecting the server load when using smoke grenades.
> In special cases it may be necessary to set a larger number of allocated edicts
using the startup parameter `-num_edicts` (at least `2000`).
### Calculations
With standard parameters:
- amx_smokegren_replacemode `1`
- amx_smokegren_pieces `8`
One smoke cloud will create `17` entities.
At maximum parameters:
- amx_smokegren_replacemode `3`
- amx_smokegren_pieces `10`
One smoke cloud will create `41` entities.

## TODO:
- Correct the remaining visual inaccuracies.
- Implement API;
- Improve integration with GameDLL;
- Optimize sprite;
## Known bugs:
- If the smoke duration changes, the grenade entity may not match the smoke duration.
