Force Editing

[WD_Rage]

I've been looking through the assets0 file to find where I can edit the force powers, but I have not found it. I've looked in the weapons.dat file and looked in almost every other file. Is it possible to edit force powers without the source code?

i tried asking about this not long ago too just look down abit - nobody knows it seems or if they do they dont want to post about it

forces, and virtually everything else for that matter, are controlled with the .efx files(set them to open in note pad), they're under assets0/effects.

so lets say you want to make a squirt gun;

first open the base weapon file assets/effects/blaster

you should see 10 fx trigger files (altmuzzle_flash, shot, wall_impact, etc).

next pick the fx file you want to mod, it should display something like this:

// Blaster flesh impact effect

 

// glowing flesh chunks

Particle

{

count 8 12

life 800 1200

 

origin 2 -3 -3 2 3 3

vel 40 -48 -48 100 48 48

gravity -100 -300

bounce 0.3 0.5

 

size

{

start 0.3 1.0

end 0.0

parm 80 90

flags nonlinear

}

 

rgb

{

start 1.0 0.4 0.0 1.0 1.0 0.2

end 1.0 0.4 0.0

flags linear

}

 

shader

[

gfx/effects/whiteGlow

]

}

 

// Dark smoke

Particle

.....

then open another random efx, in this case water_impact, copy out the desired effect and paste it into the original file.

now repeat the process with the other impact_--- files and replace the shot.efx with effects/env/water_spout.

 

lightning, drain, heal and most of the other forces can be changed in a similar fassion but i havent found push, pull or jump.

 

ps; for the blood/gore mod requests, tweak smoke_bolton and sparks under any weapon file
