Charon Flame Guard - Collision Flame Fix

Charon Flame Guard - Collision Flame Fix

Keep the Quadra Sport R-7 "Charon" flames working after a crash.

Charon's hood flames can stop appearing after the car takes damage. This
small CET mod restores the original flame effect when you reach the chosen
dashboard speed, even while driving an already damaged Charon. It also
refreshes the door flame projections to help preserve their appearance.

FEATURES
- Restarts the native hood flame effect after collision-related interruption.
- Refreshes the original door flame projection components.
- Lets the flame effect finish through its native release behavior after
  roughly 0.5 seconds continuously below the threshold.
- Ignores short speed dips near the threshold.
- Includes a CET overlay toggle, speed slider and manual emblem refresh.
- Leaves vehicle health and physical collision damage unchanged.

REQUIREMENTS
Cyberpunk 2077 with Phantom Liberty and the player-owned Charon.
Cyber Engine Tweaks: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/107
Codeware: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/7780
Install each framework's requirements, including RED4ext for Codeware:
https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/2380
Use versions compatible with your installed game patch.

INSTALLATION
Fully exit the game. Install the requirements, then extract the ZIP into
your Cyberpunk 2077 installation folder and merge the bin folder.
The final script location should be:
bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/mods/CharonFlameGuard/init.lua
Start the game and drive your Charon. Restart the game after updating.
Manual installation has been tested; Vortex installation has not.

HOW IT WORKS
The default trigger is 60 in your selected dashboard unit: 60 km/h in
metric mode or 60 mph in imperial mode. Open the CET overlay to change
the trigger from 20 to 150 or to disable the mod. These settings reset
when the game restarts.
If the door emblems need refreshing, use Restore door flame emblems in
the overlay or assign the optional Charon hotkey in CET bindings.
The low-speed delay is a brief hold before releasing the original effect,
not a custom animation or a fixed 0.5-second fade.

COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS
Tested on Cyberpunk 2077 2.31 on Windows in one player setup, including
damaged-car driving and the revised low-speed ending. Other game versions
and every possible mod combination have not been verified.
Targets only Vehicle.v_sport1_quadra_sport_r7_netrunner. Other Quadras and
quest vehicles using different records are outside its scope.
It requires the original Charon effect and projection components.
Replacement appearances or other effect-control mods may conflict.
It cannot recreate missing doors or missing projection components.
The mod does not keep flames active on destroyed/submerged vehicles or
with the engine off. Leaving the car or disabling the mod may end the
effect immediately.
No game archives, textures, framework binaries or vehicle health edits
are included.

UNINSTALLATION
Exit the game and delete only:
bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/mods/CharonFlameGuard

BUG REPORTS
Please include your game/CET/Codeware versions, speedometer units, steps
to reproduce, other Charon or vehicle appearance mods, and the relevant
excerpt from diagnostics.log in this mod's folder.
