Editting and creating new particle effects

[shifty157]

Is there any progress on this? As far as I know, RTW engine does not accept new effects only lets you modify the default ones. Even if you can create , how do you trigger an effect at a specific time in the game?

you guessed it , how would you trigger a blood particle effect to happen, which would be displayed at the time of death of a unit?

Effects can only be triggered (due to the RTW engine restrictions) when a projectile is fired and when it hits. There are a few other times (such as marching) but they wouldnt help make a blood effect.

So the only time you could have blood is with projectiles. You couldnt have any in a general melee.

Is this the file that I would need to edit to remove the arrow trail effects ?

Yes it is.

Look in the file "descr_projectiles_new.txt" and find which effect sets are referenced by the arrow projectile. Then look into this file and find the corresponding effect set and see which effects it references and delete those effects and the effect set.
