Accessory Parameter Values
-X, Y, and Z: Adjusts the position of the billboard effect.
-Ry: Adjusts the blur strength of the fire around the model. Setting this to a negative value will make the fire line more sharp.

-Si: Adjusts the size of the billboard.
-Tr: Adjusts the opacity of the effect.
Editing the Code Parameters
-Line 9: #define FireColorTexFile: Determines which image file the color of the flames references. HariganeP has included 6 different color palettes in the effect folder.
-Line 12: float fireDisFactor: Determines the speed and dispersion of the flames. A larger number means the individual flames will be smaller, and move faster.
-Line 13: float fireSizeFactor: Determines the size of the individual flames. A larger number means the individual flames will be smaller.
-Line 14: float fireShakeFactor: Determines the intensity of the flames. A larger number means the flames will sway more violently.
-Line 17: float fireRiseFactor: Determines how far up the flames reach.
-Line 18: float fireRadiateFactor: Determines how far the flames spread. A smaller number means the flames will follow the outline of the model.
-Line 19: float fireWvAmpFactor: Determines how far left and right the flames sway.
-Line 20: float fireWvFreqFactor: Determines the frequency at which the flames sway left and right, represented by a division of 1. A smaller number means the flames will sway less frequently.
-Line 21: float firePowAmpFactor: Determines how intensely the flames flare.
-Line 22: float firePowFreqFactor: Determines the frequency at which the flames flare up.
-Line 25: float sourceNoiseRate: Determines the amount of noise, within a range of 0.00 to 1.00.
-Line 27: int FrameCount: Determines the frame refresh rate of the flames, represented by an integer that is then divided by 60. Setting this value to 1 means the frame refresh rate is 60 FPS, whereas setting it to 2 means the rate is 30 FPS.
-Line 29: #define ADD_FLG: Determines the layer blend mode that is applied to the flames. Setting it to 0 applies a Darken/Multiply blend mode, whereas setting it to 1 applies an Add/Dodge blend mode.
-Line 30: #define TEX_WORK_SIZE: Determines the working layer size of the flame. A larger number means more flames that cover a smaller area.
Tips
-In 'accessory manipulation', checking off the BoardSelfBurning's 'Shadow' will cause the effect to extinguish. Unchecking it will cause the effect to reignite.
