Is it possible to disable smoke in-game?
It sometimes restricts the field of view and i would like to be able to see. I would actually like to turn it off completely. Could an option be added to the settings to have smoke disabled? i would be happy to try and implement this myself, but i want to know if it is even possible first.

That option would have to apply to all players, as a server-side fix, or it would not be fair! Some modders... like... say... me... will be purposefully creating things that release smoke to obscure the battlefield.
I would vastly prefer that smoke really cut LOS (even if it's a very simplistic cubical blocker, and not really shaped like the smoke, it'd be fairly realistic and allow battlefield smoke to be more than eye-candy).
In short... I am sure you can make this... if nothing else, you could alter the bitmap used for smoke and get rid of it that way (which is lame, client-side stuff and why I am wanting a true LOS-block controlled by a server).
