If you're looking a DP specific smoke I seriously recommend using effectinfo.txt to make particle-based smoke. Here's an example:

The method I used in that smoke grenade is actually pretty ugly and slow; I only used it because it was required to work with all engines.

Smoke Test 3
by Chip » Fri Oct 09, 2009 11:54 am
I've been playing with the particle effects in Darkplaces last night, and I changed my previous smoke FX, which was rather ugly.
This new test shows the particles, and the view alignment, as it's different from the previous, which used sprites and turned around trying to match your camera view. That's what a sprite does.
I'll be tweaking the effect some more until I get the desired effect, than I'll move on to fire.
As the weapons are done (I still have to draw some hand textures), I'll move on to finish particles.
Sparks are done, smoke is almost there, and the rest will follow.

Fire tests completed

I got the smoke settled out and I moved on to fire. I got 2 fire types by now: campfire and inferno fire.
The campfire can be put above some wood pieces, and the inferno fire can be put above rubble or destroyed areas.
Eye candy for you, guys:
I still have to do the zig-zagging sparks above the fire.
Next I'll do the torch fire and that's it. I'll have several custom fire types for the game though, but these 3 types (campfire, inferno and torch) will be final.
Stay tuned for more!
By the way, how could I embed videos from Vimeo? The embed code would show the HTML instead of the embedded video.
