Phew... There's quite alot!

Unless someone already got a list I can make one for you later!? Others might find this usefull as well! But I can tell you that there's loads of unused weapon effects, though some of them doesn't seem to work (projectiles are jsut some weird squares) and they start with gf_

There's also 2 planets unused... PLANET_INDUSTRIAL and PLANET_GREENWATER... The planets aren't in the solararch.ini so you'll have to write them in yourself... But if you can wait until later or tomorrow I'l make a complete list of unused effects!

now that you mention it...someone did make a list

that should be most of them, but i may have forgot some -

Hehe... Seems like you beat me to it! :-p And yeah looks like them all...

BTW... Can you explain why those with gf_ doesn't work!?

I think that's why they are unused, many of them don't really exist. For example br_torpedo01_drive, br_cruisedis01_drive, ... You can use them, but you don't see anything.

I remember the *_mine0X_blast50 effects looking exactly like the ones with "25" at the end. It may be the case that they are bigger (50 instead of 25 metres?), but I don't think so.

There are more of these, for example min_missile01_drive is the same like li_missile01_drive.

As most effects from the list don't show up, testing them was too frustrating, so I only checked 10 or so.

Edit: If somebody uses the 2 unsued planet spheres, it'd be nice if he/she posted a picture... thank you.

thanks guys, and the 2 planets might come in handy...

I'll post both code and pics when I get home... Patience guys!

Or maybe Cold Void beats me to it again!? Hehehe

Made it home earlier than I thought...

Here's the picture for Planet Greenwater:

and this one is for Planet Industrial:

Here's the codes for planet greenwater:

[Solar

And the code for planet industrial:

[Solar

ids_name = 60203
ids_info = 60204
LODranges = 0, 1000000000

material_library = solar\planets\detailmaps\detailmap_city.txm
material_library = solar\planets\atmosphere.txm
material_library = solar\planets\planet_industrial\planet_industrial.mat
mass = 1000000
solar_radius = 3000
shape_name = NNM_SM_MEDIUM_FOREST_MOON

Ah, good find with the planets; I found those two and put them into my mod, along with a third that I'd like to mention: gasyelcold:



Here is my sample entry for it:

[Solar
nickname = planet_gasyelcld_1500
ids_name = 60203
ids_info = 60204
type = PLANET
DA_archetype = solar\planets\planet_gasyelcld\planet_gasyelcld_1500.sph
material_library = solar\planets\planet_gasyelcld.txm
material_library = solar\planets\detailmaps\detailmap_ocean.txm
material_library = solar\planets\atmosphere.txm
material_library = solar\planets\planet_gasyelcld\planet_gasyelcld.mat
mass = 1000000
solar_radius = 1500
shape_name = NNM_SM_MEDIUM_FOREST_MOON

As for the effects, well, I'm making use of those too. A lot can really be done with stuff that was left in the games (there are several unused bodies and heads for characters, as well as planetscapes, scripts... it's obvious that this game was rushed).

Edited by - mknote on 8/8/2007 6:23:20 PM

what starshpere is that?(Im assuming you know cuz both of us are probably modders.)

BTW nice effects but how do I add things like the Kusari particle effect?

@mknote: What sort of scripts?

solararch scripts... I though you were a modder...

Think he's also talking about some of the unused .thn scripts! There's loads of them... And my favourite is the ones for planet Pygar (oh yeah... Pygar should have been accessable)

And yeah... It actually hurts to see how much the game was rushed as a hardcore FL fan... *Sigh*

Commodore001, that's starsphere_ew01.cmp, the same one that's in Tau-37. Ew01.ini is one of the few that has a value other than 0, 0, 0 for the line space_color = . That's what makes it blue in that system; I just changed it to a green color (10, 70, 30, to be precise). As to how to add these effects into the game, you need to make an entry in effects.ini in the FX folder. All effects, even those not used in-game, have values in their respective files, for example, in weapons_ale.ini, we have:

[VisEffect
nickname = ku_particle_01_proj
alchemy = fx\weapons\ku_particle_01.ale
effect_crc = 111049841
textures = fx\planetflare.txm
textures = fx\sarma.txm
textures = fx\storm.txm
textures = fx\beam.txm
textures = fx\missleeffect.txm

Add something like this to effects.ini:

[Effect
nickname = ku_particle_01_proj
effect_type = EFT_WEAPON_PROJ
vis_effect = ku_particle_01_proj
vis_beam = ku_particle_01_beam <----- this requires a new beam_effect.ini entry

Then in weapon_equip.ini:

[Munition
nickname = ku_part_mark01_ammo
hp_type = hp_gun
requires_ammo = false
hit_pts = 2
hull_damage = 113.800003
energy_damage = 0
weapon_type = W_Particle01
one_shot_sound = fire_particle2
munition_hit_effect = ku_particle_01_impact*
const_effect = ku_particle_01_proj
lifetime = 1
force_gun_ori = false
mass = 1
volume = 0.000100

[Gun
nickname = ku_part_mark01
ids_name = 263195
ids_info = 264195
DA_archetype = equipment\models\weapons\co_raildaddy.cmp
material_library = equipment\models\ge_equip.mat
HP_child = HPConnect
hit_pts = 1026
explosion_resistance = 1.000000
debris_type = debris_normal
parent_impulse = 20
child_impulse = 80
volume = 0.000000
mass = 10
hp_gun_type = hp_gun_special_4
damage_per_fire = 0
power_usage = 23.700001
refire_delay = 0.250000
muzzle_velocity = 600
toughness = 4.600000
flash_particle_name = ku_particle_01_flash*
flash_radius = 15
light_anim = l_gun01_flash
projectile_archetype = ku_part_mark01_ammo
separation_explosion = sever_debris
auto_turret = false
turn_rate = 90
lootable = true
LODranges = 0, 20, 60, 100

* denotes seperate unused effects that you would also need to enter.

It's some work, but it adds variety.

MK

*edit*

Yes, I was talking about .thn scripts, though I'd be surprised if there weren't any unused SolarArch entries.
