ok i am wondering how to get my partical editor to actually change things. i got the partical editor in the correct spot and the effects are not just blocks. i edited the flamethrower fire, the grenade explosion, and i made my own custom effect for a flashbang detonator i am making. i saved all of them and munged my map. when i go to test it in game the effects aren't changed at all. can someone tell me what i did wrong or if i need something else. i really wanted to make some custom effects just because i think it would help out my mod's visuals alot. if someone would help it would be greatly appreaciated.

Well, you have to save them under a different name and load it through your side files. If you just try to override the default com_fxs, that won't work.

You have to have custom sides with custom weapon odfs that reference your new effects.

thank you so much. i will go see if i can do that right then come back here if i do it wrong...

They need to be in your sides effects folder with a new name. The new name has to be referenced in the weapons odf.

oh, you seemed to misinterpret me, i was just saying that i will be looking for the files in the common folder that i changed to then copy them into the side folder and then rename them. but anyway i found all of already modded files and moved them and munged and it works well. i just need to scale up a few effects because partical editor makes things look bigger than they are...
