and i got this:
E:\FL\Scratch\Source\Client\space\Effect.cpp(1008) : *** ERROR: ParticleEffect::start_effect: couldnt create ale.eff (ku_capgun_01_impact) in file (fx\weapons\ku_capgun_01.ale) … Effect is most likely corrupted
C:\work\builds\dalibs\dalibs-build\build\Src\Alchemy\FxEffect.cpp(275) : ERROR:General:couldn’t create instace of node

PS, the ku_capgun_01_flash works good, i dont know why ku_capgun_01_impact not work , any help please ???

Nieckey

ok, im fix it…. that problem about FORGOT SAVE…

and now i have a really question. i want to creat a new fx to FL(not edit), and i dont understand the node in ael file:

[Section]
; ==> 2

Effect_Name = ku_capgun_01_impact

FParams = 0.0733222961, -0.0568726324, -1.8747344017, 3.3234481812 <-- Whats this
ANL_Nickname = ku_capgun_01_impactsparks_Cube.emt ; 0x025EF869 39778409
Parent = 3 <-- Whats this
FX_Slot = 1 <-- Whats this
Slot_Flag = 0 <-- Whats this
ANL_Nickname = ku_capgun_01_impactsparks.app ; 0x1E5C7174 509374836
Parent = 3
FX_Slot = 2
Slot_Flag = 1
ANL_Nickname = Main_Node ; 0xEE223B51 3995220817
Parent = NULL
FX_Slot = 3
Slot_Flag = 1

Slot_Order = 3, 1, 2 <-- This is "Order By"?

And, where i can found a tutorial to edit ale file?

FX_Slot = ;That's an arbitrary number assigned to the node
Slot_Flag = 0 ;The flag is always zero except for the very last block (a block being from ANL_Nickname to Slot_Flag): the last block must contain the number of emt/app pairs (so two emitters and two appearances would make 2)

Hope this helps, but unfortunately I don’t think tutorials exist.
