Is it possible to create .Fx files? I saw a particle editor, but it doesn't seem to work properly. I was looking to get a beam effect like the cis walker has, but make it a damage effect instead.

Download this Particle Editor's update and follow instructions included with it : http://www.secretsociety.com/forum/down ... Update.zip
Next, copy the file named "binkw32.dll" - Make a search in SWBF folders to find it - in the same path as Particle Editor...
Now, this program should work properly...

thx, now all i need to do is make the beam do damage and i'm set

You should wait for a reply of an expert modder... I'm not a specialist of this kind of question...

hmm, it seems that the instructions that come with it don't work.

The updated particle editor definately works.

Strange... Those instructions have worked for me...

These are the instructions i'm following

"In order for the particle editor to work it makes use of the game engine
so you must create a directory under BFBuilder\Data\ called _lvl_pc and copy
the core.lvl file in your game install gamedata directory into the _lvl_pc
folder, much like it is with the intstalled game."

I've done that as well as copy the binkw32.dll into it and it still crashes on startup.

Well, this is a re-written read-me :

• Create a folder named "_LVL_PC" in this directory : "BFBuilder\Data".
• Once done, copy the "core.lvl" file located in one of SWBF folders. (Just make a search to find it...)
• Next, copy the "binkw32.dll" file in the same folder as Particle Editor. ("BFBuilder\ToolsFL\Bin")

Hope it will work...

ah now i see what i did wrong, i miss took the directions to place the particle editor and binkw32.dll in the data folder instead of the bin folder. Thx for the help, hopfully i can get some good fx out of this

Gald to see it works, now...
