Attach each different particle system to the missile if you use this one.

Please comment by the way.

(This is for the public, post your own up if ya want.

Here you go. Attach it directly to the missile and remove the missile's weapon exhaust, otherwise it will flail.

Feel free to trim it. Me? I don't bother.

Under my order, this is only semi-public so please only use for personal means.

Me too please and if possible smaller versions for regular missles

[VertiGo-]

thanx a lot! now my MRLS will receive a whole new beauty in a missile - firing - activity...
still, very COOL!

You can use this one anywhere you like, just give proper credits, and if you do utilize it, please drop some feedback?

Sorry for the triple post, the whole system is being anal about post length.

Picture doesn't do it much justice, but its a Javelin detonation, made to fit Generals. So it ain't as smokey, but once again, the picture is pretty shit.
Feel free to use it wherever.

As originally promised, here is my full particlesystem.ini and FXList.ini. I have cleaned them up somewhat so that everything in there is my work at least I think it is. If this isn't the case. Let me know and I will remove the piece of code and re-upload the ini files. It also contains some textures. The ones I managed to find.

Im not going to tell you how to use them, or how anything works. So don't bother asking.

If the particle effect is purple. That means your missing the texture. And the textures are locked away deep in a dusty file and I can't remeber the names.

Anyways, here they are. Enjoy.

hence why i said "once in a blue moon", alluding to the fact that i want him to ask Bob to continue Dom Mod before he goes for another extended leave. If you don't know, a blue moon is he second full moon in one month (rarely happens).

And Bob, although it's a bad idea to argue with those in authority, I still have to say, you should continue the Domination Mod.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

I can't think of one single reason why i would want to...

but anyway... this is going way off topic... if you wanna ask ion to ask me, then i suggest PM/email/MSN

[Qcumberhd]

how do you creat the firefx's?
what do you use?

[Nem]

Hmmm?

[Sgt. Rho]

You use the text editor to create particles.

[Ion Cannon!]

To create particle effects you edit FXList.ini and Particlesystems.ini.

An FXList is essentially a list of lots of different effects. And you can decide when the effect starts, and where it starts in geographical location. IE Have a delay of 2 seconds then a mushroom cloud blossoms at height = 50 ect. Just make sure the entry in FXList.ini correlates to an entry in particlesystem.ini.

My advice is copy an effect. But not a trail. And then rename it and tweak the values to get an idea of how effects work. Its a bit more complicated than that however and it will take a while before you produce a " good " particle. As always - practice makes perfect.

[Qcumberhd]

is there any programs that make them for you or no?
What does the partical editor do. The one that you load useeing a cnc gnerals shortcut and the program in the dictionary folder thing?

it let's you adjust the particles while ingame, but it only works for vGen.

the only tools you need are:

1. Notepad
2. Brain
3. Practice
