how to preache smoke grenade effect cod2

[bossxxl]

i have like smoke_grenade_american_mp in my mod but when i throw the grenade the effect of smoke doesn't come since i changed the effect with another one so i need to know to preache this new effect for the allies


fx/boss/boss_smoke.efx

xmodel/projectile_us_smoke_grenade\projExplosionType\none \projExplosionEffect\fx/boss/boss_smoke.efx

smoke grenades are pretty hardcoded into the engine as the engine wraps forward with the smoke efx after a killcam and on connect to assure every player sees exactly the same smoke. This is also the reason smoke grenades dont delete() themselves: they are needed as a reference point for the efx warping.

I have never tried replacing the smoke efx so i cannot help you with that.

Post your smokegrenade file
I have added this for custom smoke

projExplosionEffect\fx/fire/building_fire_large.efx
Where

fx/fire/building_fire_large.efx is the location of the effect

The FX used by smoke grenades is engine driven. As long as you DON'T change the name, you can edit the FX and make it longer/shorter, or change its color. However, if you try and use a custom FX with a custom name, it will get ignored by the engine. This is all to do with how the engine handles impacts. They are entirely engine driven and you cannot introduce new ones.

Actual impact fx can be cahnged in iw_impacts.csv located in /fx

in mod extreme v+2.9 he use different smokes and with different name and he preaches it but i didn't know how he do that

[IzNoGoD]

Disabling killcam will go a long way then. Just change the efx in the weapon file

[bossxxl]

i didnt know how to use all this to preach only one smoke color


loadSmokeFX(colour)
{
switch(colour)
{
case "_blue_": level.ex_effect["bluesmoke"] = [[level.ex_PrecacheEffect]]("fx/extreme_smoke/blue_main.efx"); break;
case "_green_": level.ex_effect["greensmoke"] = [[level.ex_PrecacheEffect]]("fx/extreme_smoke/green_main.efx"); break;
case "_orange_": level.ex_effect["orangesmoke"] = [[level.ex_PrecacheEffect]]("fx/extreme_smoke/orange_main.efx"); break;
case "_pink_": level.ex_effect["pinksmoke"] = [[level.ex_PrecacheEffect]]("fx/extreme_smoke/pink_main.efx"); break;
case "_red_": level.ex_effect["redsmoke"] = [[level.ex_PrecacheEffect]]("fx/extreme_smoke/red_main.efx"); break;
case "_yellow_": level.ex_effect["yellowsmoke"] = [[level.ex_PrecacheEffect]]("fx/extreme_smoke/yellow_main.efx"); break;
default: level.ex_effect["greysmoke"] = [[level.ex_PrecacheEffect]]("fx/props/american_smoke_grenade.efx"); break;
}
}




loadSmokeFX(extreme\_ex_weapons::getSmokeColour(le vel.ex_smoke[game["allies"]]));




getSmokeColour(num)
{
switch(num)
{
case 1: return "_blue_";
case 2: return "_green_";
case 3: return "_orange_";
case 4: return "_pink_";
case 5: return "_red_";
case 6: return "_yellow_";
case 7: return "_fire_";
case 8: return "_gas_";
case 9: return "_satchel_";
case 0:
default: return "_";
}
}




getSmokeTypeAllies()
{
smoketype = "smoke_grenade_" + game["allies"] + getSmokeColour(level.ex_smoke[game["allies"]]) + "mp";
return smoketype;
}



smokegrenadetype_allies = getSmokeTypeAllies();

You can't change the name of the FX. Or the location. Which is what I just got through saying.

Sometimes I wonder why I bother to post.

[bossxxl]

but in extreme they changed it and they preached it XD

[YuriJurek]

And this is why I don't bother at all.

2 different conversations going on here - you can't change the name of the STOCK FX. You can introduce your own FX by deleting the smoke grenade before it runs its STOCK FX and run your own custom FX on the orign of the deleted grenade, which is what I believe the eXtreme+ mod does. At least, that is how I do it.

BTW - please DO NOT post smilies. We all know what they are, they have been around for at least 20 years now. As such, showing you can do smilies is lame. Do not do it. It is unoriginal.

i guess this is the one im looking for ^^ i tried all of ur sugestion and the smooke doesnt come out ^^


level._effect["american_smoke_grenade"] = loadfx ("fx/props/american_smoke_grenade.efx");

You can change the efx in the weaponfile, but the engine will hardcoded warp the original named fx after killcam.

Just either 1) edit the weaponfile to reference a different efx or 2) edit the original efx.

Either way, after the killcam, the original efx will be warped (try replacing the original with a red one, while editting the weaponfile with a blue one. After the killcam, the effect by the smoke will be red instead of the blue it was prior to the killcam)
