Health and Ammo trouble

How do you change the health/ammo/energy pickup effects? I've tried editing the .fx files in data***/Common/effects with PE, and my changes do munge but in-game it's the normal effects. Why is that?

I've tried searching for the ODF lines that say which effect goes to which pickup, but I haven't found any, either in com_inf_default or the pickup odf's. Where is that line?

HealthGainEffect =
etc., all of these are in psych0fred's ODF parameters document.

If you want to edit any of the common effects, you will need to munge a custom ingame.lvl and call it in your luas.

If only we had some sort of large thread with links to handy topics, that sure would be neato.

Oh wait yes we do:

Well, following the tut, I deleted everything in my ingame.req except what I changed, and I got at CTD with this error log Sev 3:
Hidden/Spoiler:
[code]Message Severity: 3
.\Source\SoldierAnimatorClass.cpp(654)
Can't find soldier animation bank "human"[/code]
My ingame.req:
Hidden/Spoiler:
[code]ucft
{
REQN
{
"com_sfx_powerup_blue"
"com_sfx_powerup_red"
"com_sfx_buff_offense"
"com_sfx_buff_defense"
"com_sfx_buff_regen"
"com_sfx_buff_poison"
}
}
[/code]
What's wrong? I removed some lines dealing with animations, but I hadn't changed the anims so the tut said to remove everything you didn't change.

What does your .lua look like? It sounds like you removed any call to your real ingame.req or misplaced the order. Load your custom ingame.req and then load the real ingame.req afterwards.

Oh, you're right, I copied over the original in the LUA. After fixing it and munging, it no longer crashes, but the new effects don't show up and I have the old ones instead.

Did you manually move your munged ingame.lvl file to your map's folder?

Yes, I did. Why? Could I have missed something?
