SFX-TEXTURE MOD GUIDE REFERENCE

1.Just simply extract the document..
2.Just DON'T think about re-posting every single content of the document anywhere you please.
3.Enjoy modding!!!

Just few value interpretation and  re-asses(some values are changed)... And their use.. still gathering some screen shots right now.

Note: still doing rechecks on 2008 version patch.

Note: fannel beam texture can be changed though it has its default texture..(consider ani construction) uhm im not an expert on that ^^

Note: trap laser beam could possibly be changed as well .(consider ani construction) uhm im not an expert on that ^^

Note: huge beam attack texture shows burner.png texture for beam hit weapon point  while for small beam attacks does not, small beam has beamhit3.png for beam weapon point and mech body hit, and uses beamhit3.png instead of burner2.png.(refer to 1st and 2nd images)

Note: regardless of what ever beam type is used, if it got hit on other mech, the color of beam reflect will always be beam2.png, except when got deflected, the beam will be the same of what ever beam is fired...
As observed, texture also vary depending on the attack type, like for fannel attacks, uses the beam8.png(e.g. windom viena) but with the value of  "1" while on huge beam attacks(runproc 24/25) it uses the value of 29,some how same goes to small beam attacks(runproc 1)..and for type attack 13,it uses default beam which is BlueRedBeam2.png..but like i said there might still be possibility to change it and still finding ways through a lot of tests as of now...(refer to “attack type 1” images above)


NEW!!!
to change beam shot texture(ATTACK TYPE 1)
change the 9th value RunProc2(0,1,0,100,100,80,20,xx,0,0);
take this as an example, change the xx to desired value for texture.

======
Windom vienna 2k8 ani..
for rapid fire attack
RunProc2(0,1,  0,30,5,100,10,-10,0,1,0,0);....uses beam.bmp
'WeaponAttack(0,1,0,10);  uses beam2.bmp

fannel attack
RunProc2(0,5,  10,110,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);..uses beam.bmp
RunProc2(0,5,  11,110,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0);..uses beam8.png
RunProc2(0,5,  12,110,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);..uses beam.bmp
RunProc2(0,5,  13,110,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0);..uses beam8.png  

=======

please dont question about texture why they are different,  i used different sent of textures that's why  ^^


Got to believe in Magic!!!

                     Have learnt the basics? I’m pretty sure this tutorial/guide will take you to a whole new level in modding,
Probably the title alone will give you some idea of what it’s all about. It’s simple, many kept on asking, including myself. I want this I want that, like I want it exactly like the one I watched. But I couldn’t just find one (hehehe just for sarcasm ).  I just decided trying out few experiments myself, codes etc. So I ended up making THE THING,and I came up with these. Now, I want a gundam. Yes I have, now  I want the special effects, quality animation, I want GN particles, I want Wings of Light, I want green beams, I want different explosions I want phantom speed, I want varied burners, I want Trans-am mode, I want SEED mode. There I did have it, and now ,there you’ll gonna have it. Of course I know you won’t waste any second reading these introduction, so go go go... enjoy  have fun and feel free to experiment everything. Otherwise simply move your mouse pointer on top right corner on your screen and click it.:-)  

Before anything else just observe my number 1 rule.
1. Do not attempt asking me these; “where can I find this or that?’or those “ how to’s” questions Ok?!! Just don’t be a moron...

To Start with:
First thing’s first you must equip yourselves with the tools and knowledge on how to use it though pretty much I think you know where to get them.
Animation editing tool
Entranscode tool
HOD editing tool
Hex editing application software
Paint/adobe photoshop/picasa etc

AND the basic knowledge on modding. encrypting/decrypting, archive extraction, Hex Editing, photo editing, 3D MODELING  especially ANIMATION SCRIPTING.
Then you can proceed by familiarizing some values coded for each textures I managed to find out.


1.  SMOKELINE                                    
Runproc2(0,53,0); ExecScriptEveryTime(0);

   
                                                                             
2.  WIND                                          
Runproc2(0,54,0);ExecScriptEveryTime(0);  


3. WING                  ........................
=Beam shield rbthai      
RunProc2(,58,23,5);ExecScriptEveryTime(0);
Just remember “23” is the value for the weapon point.
Replace Wing.png this, and of course it should be encrypted >>>

 
Then boom!!!


It simply uses Linux cymbidiums enchanted bow shot.
=LINUX CYMBIDIUM SUB1                            
RunProc2(0,58,.2,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);  


                                                             
4. M_CIRCLE4.png                                        [0]          
=SF FullBurst
RunProc2(0,62,32,0,9,0,800,1,0,-50,0,0);
weaponpoint  texture  duration  clockwise/counter rotation width/size  Combination for m_cirle4.png  Load texture file  position on Xaxis(weaponpoint)

                                                                                                                         
Just replace the m_circle4.png with this
                                                                                             

=Linux Primula (sub3)    
RunProc2(0,62,.20,0,80,70,300,0,1,0,0,0);      
RunProc2(0,62,.20,0,80,-100,450,1,1,-20,0,0);      
RunProc2(0,62,.20,0,80,100,600,1,1,-40,0,0);

                                                       


=5. MAGIC.png         [0]
 RunProc2(0,62,32,0,9,0,800,0,1,-50,0,0);
weaponpoint  texture  duration  clockwise/counter rotation width/size  Combination for m_cirle4.png  Load texture file  position on Xaxis(weaponpoint)    

 
                                                                                                   
Just replace magic.png with this
                                                                                   


=Linux Primula (sub3)    
RunProc2(0,62,.20,0,80,70,300,0,1,0,0,0);
     


6. SHIELD EFFECT      
SE Type 1 (is usually the use of wing.png texture explained above).

SE Type 2  
=loads X file but has default weapon point/ output(weapon output is only at body_d.x and does have certain duration and all you need is the right 3d model shields). e.g.
RunProc2(0,36,0,300,3,800,2000,0,0,0,0 );
2000 is its duration time while
3 is its loadXfile number.

On its SPT file should be written
LoadXFile(0,ShieldEffect.x,1);
LoadXFile2(1,ShieldEffect2.x,ShieldEffect2_Hit.x,1);
LoadXFile(2,ShieldEffect3.x,1);

1 – you probably already have an idea on it right?
ShieldEffect2_hit.x –purposely meant to receive hits directly on the shield model used for loadxfiles.




Well if you don’t use this, the hits will be directly on  the mech’s body like this one.(image below)


=Linux Fenel sub1 (source:image above with sphere shield^)                                
RunProc2(0,62,  0,8, 1,150,600,1,0,0,0,0);
RunProc2(0,36,  0,300, 1,150,600,1,0,0,0,0);

SE type 3    [8]
RunProc2(0,62,  5,8,6,40,40,1,0,20,001,1);ExecScriptEveryTime(0);
weaponpoint  width texturecommand  duration  LoadXfile number

With pulsating effects    >>>>>>


SE type 3                    [7]
RunProc2(0,62,  5,7,6,40,40,1,2,20,001,1);ExecScriptEveryTime(0)
weaponpoint  texturecommand    LoadXfile number width Load texturefile,position of texture H/V on the model file  duration/has a rotating effect when larger number is used.
note: load texture file is loaded from texture folder in the game folder directory. check out texture values for reference.


Licorice’s Sword Wave(sub2)
Linux Licorice sword wave   (source)                  
RunProc2(,62, 5,7,5,50,36,4,4, 20,200,);


7. PARTICLE EFFECT    
PE type1  [6]
=Licorice pixie=
RunProc2(0,62,  5,6, @int[50],@int[51],15,10,15,0,0,0);
ExecScriptEverTime(0);
Or  
RunProc2(0,62,5,6,6,40,40,1,2,20,900,0);ExecScriptEveryTime(0);
where 5 is your WP, 6 is texture command,
40 is for the texture which is value of hinoko.png.
(i hope you can get a little something in here like, improvising?? )



PE type 2
=GN Particle Effect  by KANGI007                            
Runproc2(,34,,,1,2,3,,,,,);  
34=
Load X files 1 and 2
1  =produces a clockwise rotation(check out last image in this page).
2  =produces scatter effect needed for the particle effect(GN’s,Feather)                                        
3= is a probable disperse rate I guess, a little of importance though I don’t want to think about.
Note: 1. these command only has default weapon point like command proc 36.
         2. if you want to achieve only the scatter effect alone. Just make sure you have an UNLOADABLE loadxFile. On your spt, write this way.  
LoadXFile(0,fannel.x,0);
LoadXFile(1,halitosis,0);     -omit “.x” from the name of the file or simply don’t put any loadxfile model in            
                                                     the robo folder.
LoadXFile(2,GN.x,0);                                                

and hey! Give me a break, i didn’t tell you not to write anything at all ok

.


PE type  3      [10]  just follow my format ok?
RunProc2(0,62,  17,10,0 ,15,0,001,0,0);ExecScriptEveryTime(0);
17 = WP
10 =connecting command for particle effect
0 = loadxfile number(on spt,just follow fannel’s format)
15 = size of the particle
900 = mass


PE type 4               [5]
Usually used for drops(bullet shell drops, weapon drop)
RunProc2(0,62,  8,5, 0,10,0,0,0,0,0,0);
Weaponpoint, Texture command,loadXfile number size

(ZGMF-X10A Freedom throws off shield mid-air goes for twin saber attack)




8. Miscellaneous
=sable line effect=
This is useful with mechs using solely physical sword spears, lance etc.
RunProc2(1,55, 2,140,-1,30,120,0,0,0,0,25);
2   = weapon point
-1 = sable ( just have it this way
30 = sable line ( just check out texture values for reference)

The rest? Of course you know right  you have learned the basics didn’t ya?
                                   

=special Effect for charge final attack=
RunProc2(0,60,.00,1,4,20,4,  7,6,0,0,0);
weapon point


tremors/earthquake  [1]
RunProc2(0,62, 27,1, 1000,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);ExecScriptEveryTime(2);

Wind.png            [2]    
RunProc2(0,62,  21,2, 20,50,0,0,0,0,0,0);


Burner/2             [3]
RunProc2(0,62,  21,3, 90, 120,0,0,0,0,0,0);

Burner3/4
RunProc2(0,62,  21,3, 90, 120,1,0,0,0,0,0);

width radius
length

I wish I can share much but sadly I can’t, too many are still to put into words and might take days or weeks for me to encode it... :)

Great guide!

i read it,it is very great,especially like SE 3 Shield effect :)),thank you

I wish i can post a readily readable output,but if i may have time i'l do it so there won't be a need to download it.

IT'S GREAT ! Thanks

you're welcome.

Oh this is a very big help. I was planning on making a new texture pack but was unsure of the values.
Thank you :3

if theres any one who may get this. i would like to request a space at least 3-5 vacant post right after the first post. as really the entire tutorial with the bbcodes wont fit.. thnx
