croduh made nice fires, but apparently it's a frame rate killer.
No, it is not a frame rate killer at all.Basically it's just the same number of textures that have the same size as default textures.HTC could replace their fire and explosions and make them prettier (or more realistic, whatever you want, they could make them confetti if they wanted) without any theoretical or practical frame rate hit.It's just texture replacement.
Only problem i see with current AH fire effects, too big.
But hey, that's just me and my silly ideas...
