Missing weapon FX
-
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:

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

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.

It is a shame that the most unused weapons have the nicest effects.
Can someone repost these pics they area all broken

'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).
