no no no
not change them
make them
i am making an awsome gun but an awsome gun needs an awsome effect
i want to make my own effect

my mood:
oy!: I'm happy
iiieeee!: I'm psycho
dude: I'm not in a very good mood
AHHHH!: I'm mad

that i a little more difficult, involves indepth 3D modelling

Can't you use the capship gun projectile from one capship, but take its values and make another projectile from it (ie a clone) which you can change the effects of? would that work (obviously i haven't looked into effects......ever..)

There area actually a number of hidden effects in the game that were either never used or rarely used. Examples include the formation of a singularity which is nice for bombs, large lightning bolts coiling around your shots, something that looks like a huge napalm bomb explosion and so on.

wat program would i be able to use for making an effect??

Wolf, i think there is no program for effects. Look at the data/fx directory. You will find almost every effects there. Now for the ale files, ie. ale files actually contains the data for all of the effects, if you can edit it, actaully utf editor can edit it, try experimenting on them.

@Wanderer: the outer sanctum lightning don't follow my laser beam as you have described and it is very large maybe its good for cap ships effects not for small gun for fighters.

Working hard to earn... but too lazy to do something...
