DarkPlaces effectinfo covered!
DarkPlaces effectinfo covered!
Not directly QC related, but very close. Electro compiled a list of all the properties and fields of the effectinfo.txt file, and here goes, together with comments:

I would really love to have a "Quake" effectinfo.txt that makes especially the explosion and rocket trail particles look like Quake. I am too stupid to make it myself.

AHh.. now we're getting somewhere.. Any idea where i can Download one, or maybe someone willing to post their custom effectsinfo here? wink wink nudge nudgeMauveBib wrote:DP has builtin effects which are overridden if you add a file called effectsinfo.txt to the mod directory. It doesn't have a file by default, but download one and stick it in there and it'll work.

I checked out the effectinfo.txt and it's pretty cool! Does add a nice visual change.
Though, I have looked over Electro's list of properties and fields for the effectinfo.txt file... and it all makes sense to me... I just don't understand why there are three TE_GUNSHOT effects or why there are two TE_SPIKE effects inside of effectinfo.txt.
Also, how many effects can I place into effectinfo.txt?

Good God! You shot my leg off!
Well, I for one, created a new fire effect. The fire had 3 TE_FIRE phases: the fire, the smoke and the sparks.Junrall wrote:I checked out the effectinfo.txt and it's pretty cool! Does add a nice visual change.

Look at "type" and you'll see what I mean. You'll see several types for the same effect: smoke, static, snow, spark, etc.
Here's my example of fire as seen in this movie http://vimeo.com/6994514
