Engine trails

[Lamarc1]

thank you very much for your help

This bug comes from the fact that the throttle a player is running does not get sent over to the server and clients. Because of that, every player’s engine typically shows the effect at 0% throttle, unless in cruise. I actually modified the engine effect in Itano Circus and 88 Flak to show a trail regardless of what throttle setting the engine is at.

[Lamarc1]

yes i saw them … what have you changed?

[Lamarc1]

Ok i found it. That change is easier as well xD … thanks for the Trails

It was a bit of searching but its very easy:
the red marked was 0.0372208096086979 before … you can find it in Node_Name = sampleengineatrail_Cube.emt. This works only with sampleengine_trail.ale files

Emitter_InitialParticles = 0

Emitter_Frequency = {
Flag = 4
Entry = 0.0000000000000000, 1.0000000000000000

}

edit: dont forget to change trail_effect_player in engine equip from sampleengine_playtrail to sampleengine_trail

Is there a tutorial out there for making something custom in engine ale files. For example adding trails to engine who havent them? or do i only add them to anl/ael with right crc and everything is fine?

edit: but in the ael file … how do i add new parts?

[LancerSolurus]

**In the .ael file, you add in the specific part, give each new one a unique FX_Slot number.

Then in the Slot_Order you will add the FX_Slot number, .emt (emitter) first then the .app next.

Here is the latest one I did…**

**BTW, here is a link to an example engine FX that simulates the warp FX seen in the Star Trek shows…

thx for that … and a last question … is there a library or sth like that who can say my the names of all textures. And also can i preview it … testing all textures take a long time i think

I mean this part of the ANL:

BasicApp_TexName = small-flare ; 0x119EE9C6 295627206
