Effects.fxp

Effects.fxp is a file in which can be found in the Models folder of the San Andreas dir, it can be opened with a text editor, such as Notepad, or Wordpad, the file can not be changed in run-time to make effect you have to restart the game.

Here is an example of editing the spray-can's color via that file:

1: Search for the word "spray"
2: You should see something like this:

Code:


FILENAME: X:\SA\FxTools\Data\effects\gta_pc\systems/code/spraycan.fxs
NAME: spraycan
LENGTH: 5.000


3: After that search for the colour data column something like this:

Code:


FX_INFO_COLOUR_DATA:
TIMEMODEPRT: 1


After this goes the R:

Code:


RED:
FX_INTERP_DATA:
LOOPED: 0
NUM_KEYS: 2
FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA:
TIME: 0.000
VAL: 17.000
FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA:
TIME: 1.000
VAL: 0.000


After this goes the G:

Code:


GREEN:
FX_INTERP_DATA:
LOOPED: 0
NUM_KEYS: 2
FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA:
TIME: 0.000
VAL: 73.000
FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA:
TIME: 1.000
VAL: 0.000


After this goes the B:

Code:


BLUE:
FX_INTERP_DATA:
LOOPED: 0
NUM_KEYS: 2
FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA:
TIME: 0.000
VAL: 21.000
FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA:
TIME: 1.000
VAL: 0.000


After this goes the Alpha:

Code:


ALPHA:
FX_INTERP_DATA:
LOOPED: 0
NUM_KEYS: 2
FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA:
TIME: 0.000
VAL: 255.000
FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA:
TIME: 1.000
VAL: 0.000


We need to edit these lines in the columns to set the colour effect:

Code:


VAL: 255.000


(The one after FX_KEYFLOAT_DATA):
In each column (R, G, B, Alpha exist them line), edit them to change the color of the spray-can like if you set column RED line to 0.000, set also column GREEN to 255.000, and set column BLUE line to 255.000, then the result would be a blue spray colour can.
