what is the name of the file that does the build effects?

[TheJamsh]

and can it be modified easily?

im trying to create the look as if something is being made by laser

[Red Devil]

sparker.odf, spark.odf, spark.tga. scatter.odf

[mrtwosheds]

The alternatives to the above can be specified in building/scavenger odf's like

[FactoryClass]
BuildSparkConfig = "sparker_d"

[ScavengerHClass]
BuildSparkConfig = "sparker_d"

thats exactly what it already looks like 

[TheJamsh]

lol well my image is red laser beams, and im trying to get it so that smoke comes from a white 'hot spot' at the vehicle end of the beam, and a flame emits from the origin of the beam, maybe with some funkey sparks as usual

i sense a very 'public beta four released soon sense going on around here' mostly due to GSH' wanting to play with things i believe...

damn i hope it sees some serious improvement in the moddign style of things... to do with taps in particular.

[General BlackDragon]

When was pb3 released? It's had that long to by tweaked under the hood....

[TheJamsh]

pfft i got no idea... long time ago, over a year :S

PB4 has taken the longest hasnt it... theres more improvement in this public beta than all the others put together.

[General BlackDragon]

i have no idea....i'd have to read the changelog....

[bigbadbogie]

[GSH]

File sizes are in bytes. Timestamps are newer than the release because I've occasionally done some revisions of old comments.

[bigbadbogie]

[GSH]

That, or I've gotten verbose in my old age.
