📋 About This Mod
Ambient FX is a mod that seeks to enhance the effects used across the game in a very natural way. This first version has enhanced fire/smoke/smog effects for vehicles. These effects (both looped and non looped particle effects) will apply to ALL vehicles, not just the players. Smoke trails can now be seen blocks away, fire and embers effects have been enhanced, and a neat smog effect that grows depending on the amount of vehicles on fire as well being contained to that given area. I will be open to ideas and reasonable suggestions so please feel free to leave a comment. Keep in mind that most of my time is dedicated to RDE and so this is just a side project I cooked up. Required files to run Ambient FX: To install just drag Ambient_FX.dll to your scripts folder. Special Thanks - Credits NefariousBonne: For being the first person to help out when I first thought of the idea. CamxxCore: Tons of support, research, and methods to get me started.

Ambient FX enhances vehicle fire, smoke, and smog particle effects across the game, applying them to all vehicles, not just the player's.

✅ Pros
- Makes vehicle fires and smoke look way more natural—big immersion boost.
- Applies to every vehicle, so you see the improved effects everywhere.
- Lightweight script mod with 779 endorsements and 161k downloads—community trust.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips

- Since it's a script mod, make sure you have a script hook or loader installed if required by the game.
