Effects (or .efx ) for ET

(FIRE|STARTER) #1

Hey my name is FIRE|STARTER, and I am a proud member of the Price of Peace modding team. First off I just wanna express my excitment about moving over to the ET engine. :banana: .

For the PoP team I am currently primarly responsible for making new effects for the mod. I had spent alot of time maken them for cod, and when we movied over to ET I noticed that there are no effect files, or efx files. Are they hidden or something? because this is the first quacke 3 game I’ve seen that doesnt use them. A am very familiar with making effects using efx files. So bassiacly my point is…Are there effects files used in ET? and if so then were are they? and if not, then how to I make/modify effects? thx alot.

what kind of effects are you looking for? They might just be called something else in ET

Im looking for effect files with the root of .efx

Err yeah that helped a lot. :slight_smile:

Anyway I’ve been modifying quake 3 engine games before (quake3, rtcw, et) and never heard of efx files before so I guess it’s a cod thing or an addition to other quake3 engine games besides those 3.

So what are they for, particel effects or what?

Ive delt with efx files before in SOF2 and COD.

Yes, but effect files are unique to SOF2 and COD. You use something else in ET, but it depends on what type of effects you are trying to create (particles, decals, smoke, blood, etc.).

effects are hard coded into the gamecode
