Missing weapon FX

? Offline

Frank, you’re up. =D hit

(seriously, apply the missile smoke trails to thruster effects and you’re golden)

Fox,

Tried that, still no smoke which is why i think it’s called in the ALE file somewhere. I suppose i’ll have to grit my teeth and have a go at doing this myself. What do i need do do this?

** UPDATE ** Looking for the ALE editor but i get a 404 error when i try to download it from the DB site

Here you go, Gibbon: http://files.filefront.com/ALE+Editor0+008rar/;13044320;/fileinfo.html

Also has the CRC calculator in there and the excel file I use to figure out colours.

… ;D … if you want (misused) effects,
try 2 apply weapon FX 2 the engine.
It will you give that 4 example:

Using it like
flame_effect = wts_engine18_proj
will give u, what u see in the picture above.

Sorry for annoying again, but couldn’t someone put all the lists, effects etc. into the first post for a better overview?

? Offline

Came across these today when i was looking for something else. I found these in the weapons.ale with no entries for them in the effects.ini. I’ve added some of these as visual effects and some of them are excellent. Not had a chance to test all of them so guinea pigs required lol.

gf_bolt01
gf_bolt04
gf_distortion
gf_electricstar
gf_greencloud

gf_ku_array01_flash
gf_ku_array01_drive <–----------- Possible missile drive effect for these two fx

gf_rh_array01_flash
gf_rh_array01_drive <-------------- As above

gf_laser
gf_laser02

gf_sizzle
min_laser_01_flash
min_laser_01_impact

About the .ALE editor… the link to it on the only place I could find it is still broken, and Sushi’s filefront link says the file is missing. Is there another place where I can get this editor from ?

Xarian_Prime

Yep at Lancers site

ALE EDITOR

Enjoy… and many hours of FX re-coding fun to you (lol)

Bas

X_P, I get a 404 error once I click at the external DL link.

Bas

Why was so freely to upload the ALE Editor, but it might be an older version:

Well, it is better than nothing hehe Thank you, and thank you Xarian_Prime for your kind words lol

(Unfortunaly I don’t know enough about modding yet to tell you which effect is what - But you can see the weapon name marked green in the weapons window.)

It is a shame that the most unused weapons have the nicest effects.

Can someone repost these pics they area all broken

btw: is there an tutourial for ale editing?

'Fraid not. The knowledge is scarce, spread about and those who do know don’t have much time to write down anything about it (I know I’m guilty of that).

“Why’s Guide to duplicating FX”… Search for that… it should get ye started… everything else is pretty straight forward if ye know how DirectX works… or have played with any ID Tech (doom3)…

Basic principles really, most is pure trial and error 8-)
