About this mod
This will remove the engine trails from Federation, Klingon, Romulan and Dominion ships in normal space. Perhaps a few more.
- Permissions and credits
- Removes the base Impulse and Warp engine trails from all ships; player or NPC seen on your screen.
I have been made aware that the new Pulse Phaser FX is broken as a result of this mod. Unfortunately, because of how this mod works (turning three textures invisible), it's unlikely that this can be made compatible. You can try removing the individual ".wtex" files and seeing which one resolves this issue if you're experiencing it.
What this Mod does not do
- Remove visual effect trails from equipment (Reputation, mission reward, Lobi store etc.) - including additional geo, such as the Borg and Competitive engines
- Remove fluidic space engine distortions
- Remove "alien" impulse and warp engine trails, while the inner solid trail will be gone, any surrounding translucent trails will still display (I believe this is mostly Vaadwaur and Iconian ships, there may be a few others)
- Affect the visuals seen by other players not using this mod in any way.
Installation
To install, place the folder "texture_library" from the zip archive into your game installation "localdata" folder. It should look like this: "...…..\Star Trek Online\Live\localdata"
While not recommended, you can do this while the game is running and see the change in real time.
Uninstallation
Ensure the game is fully closed before uninstalling, or the game may crash. If it does not crash, the change will not be visible until the next time you open the game anyway.
Simply delete the above folder (or the loose .wtex files), and the game will revert back to having visible trails.
