There is always the same muzzleflash (name in the odf data) at the end of the rifle
small_muzzle_flash or med_muzzle_flash
How can I change the effect i try it and change the effect there and ingame there was nothing than.

these lines define the flash:
Code: Select all
MuzzleFlash = "small_muzzle_flash"
FlashColor = "255 80 80 255"
FlashLength = 0.025
FlashColor = "255 100 100 255"
FlashLength = 0.025
FlashLightColor = "255 220 220 175"
FlashLightRadius = "2.0"
FlashLightDuration = "0.25"
Discharge = "small_smoke_effect"
if they dont change anything something must have gone wrong

if i want to have a little explosion at the end of the rifle i should add this:
MuzzleFlash = "com_sfx_explosion_xs"

You know, I've always wondered: what exactly does that line reference? I've never found small_muzzle_flash.fx. I've found a msh, though, so does it reference a mesh?

I also just found a msh but i don't think it the right thing because you can change the muzzleflash to med and small and there is only one msh.

That's because MuzzleFlash can only reference three things:
-small_muzzle_flash
-med_muzzle_flash
-large_muzzle_flash
You're looking for
MuzzleFlashEffect or
MuzzleFlashModel.
(Fyi, MuzzleFlashEffect doesn't work properly.)

So MuzzleFlashEffect references a specific mesh for the muzzleflash size (small, med or large) to use?

No.
MuzzleFlash can only reference three things: small/med/large
MuzzleFlashEffect can reference any specified .fx file
MuzzleFlashModel can reference any specified .msh file

Everything that can be said about this has largely been said. But I
believe[/b] the answer is yes in regards to adding a muzzleflasheffect to a vehicle weapon. I know vehicle weapons don't have muzzleflash enabled. I haven't tried it yet, and I have yet to see any examples of muzzleflasheffect, but you are welcome to try it.
Here is a list of Weapon ODF parameters

If there is already a MuzzleFlashEffect, what does
do?

I've tried changing that multiple times, but nothing changes/ or appears. I'm assuming it's broken code like decals.

MuzzleFlashEffect can reference any specified .fx file
is it possible to have two of these working at the same time?

Well, I think we've established that effects don't work....
