JostVice 50 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) Hello there... as I said, here is the tut for creating new particle effects, I will explain also the structure of them (or well, the parameters)You need to know how to export 2dfx with DexX script, I wont explain it here...So first, open your effects.fxp file that is in models folder. that file can be opened with notepad and such, lets copy one of the existing files, I used PRT_sand.Copy from the start to the end, It usually starts on: FILENAME: X:\SA\FxTools\Data\effects\gta_pc\particles/prt_sand.fxsNAME: prt_sand and end with: LODSTART: 30.000LODEND: 50.000OMITTEXTURES: 0TXDNAME: NOTXDSETFX_SYSTEM_DATA:109 Paste it where you want, just be sure it doesnt 'cut' any other particle system, then rename it to your one: FILENAME: X:\SA\FxTools\Data\effects\gta_pc\particles/prt_JV.fxsNAME: prt_JV Notice: The filename is ignored, its a path on R*s network disk but can help for identifying the particle system.Now you have your particle system created, nice. lets spawn it then edit.Go to your 3d max script folder, and find the SAparticle.ini: open it with notepad or any of those and search for: numparticlesys=82 Thats the number of particle systems in the game, so just change it to 83Search again for [particlesystems], you will see a list of particle effects, go to the end and add your one: psys83=prt_JV Done. save the ini and launch 3d Studio Max, now you will see your effect in the particle rollout you should go test it so you're sure it worked.I will explain now the structure of the particle system....

Those lenghts parameters and loop I dont know what are... I tried changing playmode without any effect and same with culldist.

coin-god 27 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Nice way to make particles, really nice way. Good job Jost Link to post Share on other sites
DexX 47 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 SRCBLENDID: 4DSTBLENDID: 5 The 4 and the 5 should correspond to D3d blend types; http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b...508(VS.85).aspx So it's actually this; SRCBLENDID: D3DBLEND_INVSRCCOLOR = 4DSTBLENDID: D3DBLEND_SRCALPHA = 5 The blend modes are enumerated so if you test some of the other blending modes, make sure you only put the number, and not the "D3DBLEND_*" text.

oCain 2 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Hi...first of all...Nice Tut! I've got some additional info's... NUM_PRIMS: 1 Is the number of how many ParticleEmitter(FX_PRIM_BASE_DATA:) used by the FX, for example take a look at 'explosion_large'...there are 3 in use. NUM_INFOS: 11 I don't really know how importent it is, but it's the number of how many Fx_Data sections used by an Emitter. FX_INFO_EMLIFE_DATA:LIFE:...VAL: 15.000BIAS:...VAL: 15.000 The 'BIAS' value is a kind of +/- value, if you set it to 0.000 the particle will 'die' exactly at the 'LIFE' value. Btw...all sections that begins with 'FX_INFO_EM...' are Emitter info sections.

Both together doesn't work. FX_INFO_EMRATE_DATA:RATE:FX_INTERP_DATA:LOOPED: 0NUM_KEYS: 1FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA:TIME: 0.000VAL: 1500.000 How many particles the emitter will spit out.

oCain 2 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi, I think you just need to change the emitter-names...'NAME: ParticleEmitter' to 'NAME: kule1' and 'NAME: kule2' for example, they just need to be different. (Only if you use more than one emitter) I've test it with another texture and it works. Oh and I don't know if you just forget to copy/paste it... FX_SYSTEM_DATA:109 need to be at the beginning of every FX. I hope I could help. Greetz! Link to post Share on other sites

JostVice 50 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Name should be Particle Emitter. about the FX_system_data i'm not sure, i think its at the start. To make this effect, wich 'base' particle system you used? and also, how added the same name to the DexX's script INI? oCain: nice! i will try to update the tut with your info, thanks Edited January 12, 2008 by Jost_Vice Link to post Share on other sites

KnightProwl 1 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 i have a question, how would i go about making something like the moon in SA, but not replacing the moon in SA. like 2 moons with 2 diffrent textures, for example, say i want a bat signal, since im a huge batman fan, and a moon too, how would i mkae it to where the moon is there, then the batsignal is just next to it and a bit higher?, any help would really be apprecated, thanks and peace out knightprowl Link to post Share on other sites

JostVice 50 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 PIMP_PL You mean that you want that particle to be created when you fire your weapon? I dont know if that stuff is hardcoded (bullet's path) but maybe there is a particle system that you can replace with your one, anyway, will affect all the weapons tho. You can code via SCM to create a particle 'kule' when you shoot at the weapon's position. The effect that is created when your bullet reach the wall is usually one of those collision particles, it depends also of the type of COL material... Knight: I'm not sure the moon is a particle Link to post Share on other sites

gtasa1997 0 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 hey i need help. i tried to make colored nos by editing the smoke texture, and cloudmasked. the only color which looks fine is Red but everything else has a blue color on the outer bits of the nos. i tried lots of stuff but it didnt work i wanna kill myself jk so my question is, how do i change the nos color to white using the effects.fxp? that'll make sure the correct color from the textures to show up I hope.... i dont go on the forums much so if possible pls reply on my youtube channel www.youtube.com/user/The9mmAK47 note: im a noob modder xD Link to post Share on other sites
hristobg 1 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 First, open effects.fxp. You can open it with Notepad. In the search box type "nitro" and pres 'Find Next' twice. You should to view this: FILENAME: X:\SA\FxTools\Data\effects\gta_pc\systems/code/nitro.fxs And in this "case" go to the section 'FX_INFO_COLOUR_DATA:' Now you can follow this tutorial. It's for changing the spraycan colour, but the method is the same with changing the nitro's colours. Sorry for my English, I hope it's understandable Link to post Share on other sites
JohnPro 3 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) I followed this guide and my particle works when I use any existing Effectpc texures. When I try to use my own texture which I import into effectspc.txd it wont appear in the game. TEXTURE: boatsplash works! TEXTURE: fireball6 works! TEXTURE: wjet6 works! TEXTURE: arlock1 WONT WORK but its in the txd! SOLVED: Use DXT3 compression. Edited September 11, 2010 by JohnPro Link to post Share on other sites
hristobg 1 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 How to make one particle to appear everywhere? Like snowflakes, maded by oCain. Also, is the moon is coded in the engine or in effects.fxp? Also the rain, storm, lights? Link to post Share on other sites
