Simple Aesthetic: Rocket Launch Ground Glow

Post by Focal »

After seeing the laser glow mod get implemented, I thought it would be really cool for a ground glow to be added to Rocket Launches. Currently, the initial launch looks great with the silo lighting up and then the rocket embarking. A ground glow that enlarges from the silo during launch and then fades to darkness as the rocket launches would add some aesthetics to the launches and make them more exciting.

I can see how it might be done. Spawn a light source with a large radius on the silo and have it fade out as the rocket goes higher. Or start at something lamp-sized, grow as the rocket's exhaust clears the silo and reaches a sufficient height that it'd be illuminating a large area, then fade it out the rest of the way up.

Exactly how you'd implement it as a mod, I don't know. Given there is a mod for larger lights out there, I think it might be doable.
