Does anyone know more information about this. It doesn't seem to work for me. There must be a step missing here. I keep getting unknown command insert fx once in the exec createfx

I know developers are using this. I would love to save time and add fx IN-GAME!!!

Found this on the RGN forums, but I don't think its to cod5. Still has the same idea:

To use:
1. In the console, type 'exec createfx'
2. The map will now restart.
3. Press and hold f1 to show the help menu.
4. 'Insert' inserts an effect and should get you started.
5. Adjust FX as necessary.
6. Pressing S will save the FX data.
7. Copy and paste the contents from this output to another map for use.

Notes: - FX to be used need to be loaded like using the following format
(usually in the precacheFX() function of the level_fx file):

level._effect["exp_pack_doorbreach"] = loadfx("explosions/large_vehicle_explosion");

The in-game FX editor looks for level._effect["X"]. These FX must also
be loaded with a loadfx() call.

- Make sure that #include maps\_utility; is included in your level_fx script
or you'll get script errors if you're dumped FX using the createfx script
in your level somewhere.

Source: maps\effectsed_box_fx.gsc

saddly thats for dev's only :(

none of the commands that get executed work all missing.

I doubt Treyarch wants us to copy and paste the zapper FX!!!
I know I would never think of that!!!

Kinda looks like this is for placing FX into your level (rather than getting co-ords manually then typing them into the create fx script).

This would also be a reason for the whole "create fx already generated.. blah blah so many fx are here)

I mean, who counts how many fx? The comment at the top sounds like it's been made by a program.

And the exec command normally exec config files so unless we have them they won't work.

hmm actually this kinda works...

If we could grab .cfgs from fast files we could get more info.

So dodn't ask how. But think i have the config file. but where do i put it ??? If it works! I'll share it to those who actually help out around here!

You know who you are!!!!

The cfg and just about all other CFGs are in IWD 00. Use WinRar to extract.

I already did that. Now where do I put it?
Sorry for sounding like such a Noob.

Thanks Sparks! You ROCK!

I would guess the "..\raw\" folder due to the fact it has an "images" folder inside of IWD00.

It still doesn't work :(.

I believe you might have to type something like developer_string or something before. Than after you do all this you can only write the script file that you'll copy and paste into you gsc_fx.

I could swear that I started a topic on needing to know more knowledge of the tools at hand. Guess that would be like getting FX on a silver plate! How are we just now finding out about tools like this?

Sparks! Help us out!

Treyarch has a special dev build of the executable. What we got is a retail exe lacking most of the dev features like the devgui, fx placing and the file script functions.

i started a project to get some functionality of the dev buid back:

CoD5 - DevGui

I have a feeling this is not going to work, the file itself calls of a few binds but that's all.

There are probably other files that we nee to find to get a better understanding.

Oh and the file will work fine from the IWD.
