How can I add my own custom efects? I don't mean change existing ones, I mean make new effects for my new weapons. What do I need to reference?

No!Stop! <_<....>_>.....*_*

unless you can edit those ale files, you can create custom effects of anything... the only thing that is editable for weapon effects are those laser beams...AFAIK

Yeah, But what I mean is.. I copied the stunpulse as a template for my new weapon, then I changed the damage etc. As I wanted it. But... I want to change the color without changein the color of the stunpulse. How do I do it?

change the color of what exactly?... is it the effect or the gun itself?

The effect! lol. I can change the effect of "co_blablabla_etcetcetc" in beam_effects.ini, but that changes the stunpulse color to. I only want to change the color on my new weapon.

You can simply make a copy of the entry of the stunpulse beam effect at the bottom of the file and alter it. Then, get your weapon to use that effect instead.

Yes, I figured that. But how do I get my weapon to use that one? Where is it referanced?

it's in the Munition entry

[Munition
nickname = co_gun02_mark01_ammo
hp_type = hp_gun
requires_ammo = false
hit_pts = 2
hull_damage = 4.600000
energy_damage = 153
weapon_type = W_Pulse01
one_shot_sound = fire_pulse1
munition_hit_effect = ci_pulse_01_impact
const_effect = ci_pulse_01_proj <-- change this to the name of your effect
lifetime = 0.800000
force_gun_ori = false
mass = 1
volume = 0.000100

Ok, but the name of my effect doesn't end in "proj"... Will it still work?

No!Stop! <_<....>_>.....*_*

Tue May 18, 2004 10:47 am by karatekid88

Well... I tried both and the effect hasn't changed. I made mine yellow and it still showes up red in-game. Anything you forgot to mention?

No!Stop! <_<....>_>.....*_*

Funnily enough, there is

Create your entry in beam_effects.ini, then create an entry in effects.ini, use the same _proj style for consistency, and with that, refer to your beam entry. That should work

LOL!!! what are the odds?

Hmm... Well, I'm still trying it... But after one attempt it still looks the same.. Mind giving me and example of what a weapon entry should look like in effects.ini?

Well, I must not be that bright then huh? It seems everything I try to mod either just plain doesn't work, or forces me to do a reinstall... I guess I'm just not good at figuring things out lol

Have a check in newbie questions - i have gone over the two files needed to mod to make your own custom colours for weapons shots based upon existing effects - ie - changing a shot colour

Check in newbie questions?! Those things are like a million pages long!!! I can't find my own hand in there!!!

That's a good point, actually. If someone could go through those threads and collect all the good information, and submit it as Word or pdf, it would be very useful...
