Using Colored Smoke Grenades:
1) make sure the console is enabled.

2) In the console, type in "ins_player_smokecolor 0" without quotes.

3) Now, type in "ins_player_smokecolor_C *" (no quotes, replace C with r, g, or b, replace *with values 0 through 1)
R stands for red, G stands for green, and B stands for blue.

4) Now, you should pick out a color for your smoke. Use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#X11_color_names for a table containing samples of colors.

5) Once you picked out a color, you need to get the values to put in for the RGBs. To do this, divide the decimal code numbers in the table by 255 and round the number you get to the nearest hundredth. The first number in the group of three is red, second green, and third blue.

And that's how it's done. There are some things you should note that smoke grenades combine colored smoke with black smoke, so the color that comes out will appear quite a bit darker than the color you picked.


example: ROYAL BLUE
ins_player_smokecolor 0
ins_player_smokecolor_r 0.25
ins_player_smokecolor_g 0.41
ins_player_smokecolor_b 0.88

What? Why? I have changed my smoke color many times, I have finally found a dark dark color that holds its density better than lighter colors. Having this new darker color smoke I can now run through the smoke without a sniper or someone else pick me off through the damn smoke... having it is really handy, I also like the neon green, pink, and red colors though too Good thread.

*[EDIT:] Oh wow... I didn't see this, you can actually pick the color you want then do a little bit of math and bam you now have a new color smoke... I was just guessing colors HAH! Right on, thanks Dan.

deep pinks code is 1 .08 .65 lol

 

[Cutter]

Oh no! What have you guys done! Everyone is going to be throwing such fabulous colors everywhere now!

 

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

Lol, maybe we should get a small team together that has their smoke colors set to like red, white, and blue or something cool like that... jungle colors, light green dark green, medium green... Lol I don't know I think it would distract people :laugh:

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

Pfft I don't know that's when I didn't know about this stuff and I was just guessing on colors, using random numbers and getting random results.

Do we have to put these changes in the cfg file? for it to stick?

Im sure PDS will be the ginnnaa pig

 

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

Hahaha! Its kind of embarrassing throwing pink or purple smoke, specially when you have been wanting to change it but all the attempts you've tried have all failed...
I used to have the neon pink and the real vibrant purple as my smoke,
I was like everyone throw your smoke... PDS aren't you engineer? Throw your smoke sheesh... I DON'T WANT TO!
You don't have to do anything with your cfg file, once you type that into console it stays until you change it to another color.

Rainbow pony maneuver team?

 

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

Hahah! Hell yes! I'm down, as long as we can change the title around maybe...

 

[Igoforunc09]

yea the title is kinda............

 

[PIMP DADDY SMURF]

Yeah, I'm in the process of coming up with a catchy title atm...

 

[The Yeti]

So for those of you like PDS and myself who didn't use a color chart.
R + B = purple
R + G = Yellow
B + R = Purple
B + G = Cyan
G + R = Yellow
G + B = Cyan
Y + R = Orange


it works in reverse as well.

Y + B = Green
