Truly amazing guys. Really bring this ageing game up with modern times. congratz to all working on it (y).

Ice

Brilliant, thanks alot

Congratz on the new appointments, Im sure you`ll do us all proud and keep this game going as it should

With the higher poly models, they can cause milkshape to crash anyway due to the amount of poly`s it is trying to deal with. Thats where multi part .cmp comes into it.

On a side note, I just had a quick look at the models you up`ed and noticed some of the textures are rectangular. FL only recognises SQUARE textures. Took me a while to find that out when my textures look rubbish in game but fine in max + milkshape. Just add a section of pure black(alpha) to the shortest side of the texture to make it up to a square.

Hi m8,
FL also uses cone emitter and a host of others but cone cube sphere are the most common.
Most of the lines in ALE are read in -

time , action or in the case of colours

time , R, G, B

some lines read time, action, time, action etc etc meaning at a certain time in the effect, the size will be blah, then at time x the effect will be bigger/smaller etc.

frequency is how many particles come out of the emitter.
pressure is how far those particles go away from the emitter
initial_particles is how many particles the effect starts with

in general (but not with all effects) each effect has a "general" basic appearence section and a specific appearence section(cone/cube etc)

Best way to find out what each one does is to change it and test it so trial and error as with most things. hope this helps a little.

Ice

Arh, the "good old days"

Just to let you know guys as well that if you put the effect in loadout.ini , the effect name is fx_nomadwormhole

for example;

[Loadout]
nickname = ice_solar_06
equip = fx_nomadwormhole, HpRunningLight01

Cheers
