Custom lightning effects [Solved]

I recently edited the Force Lightning effect in Notepad to use a different texture and some other small changes. In-game, the effect doesn't show up, and I get this (which I think is related):
Code: Select all
Message Severity: 3
.\Source\HUDManager.cpp(619)
HUD unable to find HUD element type 0x16ce484a
Any fix?

Does this force lightning effect have the same name as the stock one? Rename it too something else if it does. Is the .fx file in your side's effects folder and not Common\effects? Move it to your side's effects folder if it isn't already there.

It has a different name, and it is in my side's effects folder. Do I need a custom ingame.lvl?

Aye. Switches the team of an enemy unit, starts a timer, and at the end of the timer switches the unit back.
