Ok … so the other way … can anyone say me what these entrys do exactly/ how they work?:

this is a example file

}

i asked this to become a complete explainations about every part of this files … anything detailed … i will do something so different that it is quite impossible to do this by converting … but if you thing i will found something that way

Is there a tutorial out there or can anyone explain my how to create a all new ale effect for sth. without make a copy of a other one … I will create something new but for that i must know everything about ale files … it is a big difference between modding some files or do create new effects

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

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?

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

}

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

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

yes i saw them … what have you changed?

thank you very much for your help

i have an idea … i can also see trails on playerships who at cruise speed is it possible that this cruise-trail effect is shown everytime also when no player is on cruise?.

or a other possible solution is that trails are ermitted everytime so that i can see trails also when im on enginekill?

u got me right… there is also no one seen out there who has fix it? or is it impossible?

2nd question: what is the better way to activate trails? or is there a third way known to activate them

Hi … i have a problem with them. The Problem is that i can see these trails on my ship but not the ones from other players. NPC engine trails are visible.
I know 2 ways to activate trails 1st is that i change all:
vis_effect = gf_ku_smallengine01_playtrail
vis_generic = gf_min_smallengine02_playtrail

to _trail in effects.ini

the second way i know is to change these all:
flame_effect = gf_li_smallengine01_fire
trail_effect = gf_li_smallengine01_playtrail

to _trail for all engines inside the engine_equip.ini

with both ways i can see only the trails on my ship … wat must be changed to see trails on all ships in space?

thank for anyone who help me
