For example the "effect edit", where you need to press enter before pressing "ok". I dunno why i never tried this before, shame on me! Now I have another request: Can you tell us, how to add new effects into BrowEdits list? Ive seen in your videos you have up too 900 effects or something...my 620 rev only has 750~ saying theres no more effects from 2009 sakray... Im believing it has something to do with editing the effects.txt. However im sure you cannot just add any random number and text and it will show it ingame, right? Every effect has probably its own "ID", the description probably is unimportant. Hope you can understand me..im not the best with english... And thank you for your time!

Oh and I thought I should mention this, the 'wither' map in the sky map tutorial is the one you made for me for the Withering quest it's a custom, lol.

If someone knows effect names or get a list ... I can provide it at download. (In the eA svn the list haven't be updated since 2009 ...) But seems to be here in the 3ceam svn : http://3ceam.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rewrite/doc/effect_list.txt (not complete) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats already more than i know..so i can "basicaly" copy/paste the effects in that eA text file and add it into brow edits one? Of course i need to use the proper formation. For example: 916. Demonic Fire into 916|Demonic Fire But if i do it like that, will it work with renewal / new Ro clients? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like to ask for support for some minor things, but I have tried that a lot of times before with no luck. I know it is possible since one day I did this by error --> http://i1142.photobu...neAthena325.jpg It is a flame effect, but like 10 times bigger.

The only thing you can do is copy and paste an effect on a Gravity map that HAS the correct size when you see it in game and just paste it in your custom map WITH NO changes made to the parameters. I found this when I copied and pasted the small torch effects from 1@tower (Endless Tower). Naturally the effect is much larger when you add it manually however when I changed the size parameters it did nothing to make it smaller. So copying and pasting it from the 1@tower was the only solution I have found to work currently. Edited November 28, 2011 by Syouji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
