i don't have the specialeffects.txt!

hey i don't have the special effects.txt that everyone says i should have so that i can find out what exactly all the paths are for the special effects! does anyone have a link or a copy of the file i can have? i REALLY would appreciate it!

i guess its is comming with cookie's editor newesr version.

maybe i should have waited a lil before gettin the game hehe, oh well i was anxious to get it. but does anyone have the file? i mean a link to somewhere i can get it, or if someone wouldn't mind posting it or something! cause i'm making this rpg where i'm concentrating on something alot of people haven't, and that is the story line, been working on this thing for a week and i've now come to the point where special effects would enhance the game play a LOT so if anyone has the file or wouldn't mind posting the paths for me, i'd really appreciate it

here ya go


The following information might be of use to those of you
attempting to use the "Special Effect - Create Special Effect
On Unit" trigger action. The first parameter for this action
is an attachment point name, which is a string value that you type
in manually.

One or more modifiers can be added to an attachment point name to
specify the exact location to which you want to attach the special
effect. These modifiers are optional, and are not defined for all
units and attachment point names. Example attachment point names:
"overhead", "hand", "hand left", "foot
right mount rear".

Attachment Point Names:
overhead (floats over the unit's head, but doesn't sway with
the head as it animates)
head (sways with the unit's animation)
chest
origin (usually at the base of a unit's feet)
hand
foot
weapon (for heroes)
sprite (for buildings)
medium (for buildings)
large (for buildings)

Attachment Point Modifiers:
left
right
mount (for mounted units)
rear (for quadrupeds)
first (for buildings)
second (for buildings)
third (for buildings)
fourth (for buildings)
fifth (for buildings)
sixth (for buildings)
rallypoint (for buildings)

As DFried mentioned with his list of art paths, this information
will hopefully find its way into the FAQ.

THANK YOU!

yeah thanks alot! I was looking for that, too

Nice resource. Thanks.

However, how does one add splats such as the .blp under Tichondrius' foot for Dark Summoning (ReplaceableTextures\Splats\DarkSummonSpecial.blp) or like the Archmage's Mass Teleport?
