I see.. my bad there been awhile low memory of that post I thought it was you Smokey heh. But dragon breath shells sounds cool to me though sounds interesting enough

Mmm, "sufficient."  Such high praise.

Added some info on some of the defs files to the guide.  Would be nice to get some scripting info up next, but that's quite a can of worms...

Yeah you should post the dragon breath shotgun shells dude wouldn't mind checking them out. Also, really good to see another person writing some guides for Turok I thought it was kind of sad that there was only one person doing it. Seemed like that was lonely though. Nice job!

I just hope people actually find it useful.

You were saying?

Haha maybe we should make one of the weapons shoot this as a sprite

I actually had started on a collection of silly weapons, but never finished it.  I was having a hard time coming up with a complete set, and was getting frustrated with kfx limitations. :/

But yeah scripts can be all over the place that's true man its like where to start :s

I was thinking of starting with weapon stuff.  I'm just not really sure how to organize it, since they're members of the player class, but more likely to be used from the weapon classes.

Yeah now that i'm trying some I understand the gist good thing there is you guys guides. Because still its tough because its like an alien language to me but yeah lets do this dude. Some kind of community mod almost hehe.

Blood impact effects are spawned by projectiles in OnImpact.  You could either modify the existing blood kfx files, or change the projectiles to spawn a brand new effect (useful if you want different weapons to have different effects, or if you don't want excessive effects blocking the player's screen when Turok gets hit himself).

I'm not sure where death blood is spawned.  It might be hard-coded, or it might be attached to the animations somehow.  Some might even be spawned in the enemy scripts; I'd have to check.  Gibs definitely are.  You can script new death effects in OnDeath() (you'll see the shockwave weapon effects being triggered from there in scripts\enemy\enemy.txt).

Knife blood is spawned in scripts\player.txt, in KnifeParticles().

Effects can have multiple particles defined within them (e.g., a blood puff, some particles that fly out, the splatter on the wall).  And as Duke alluded to, effects can spawn further effects in onTick, onImpact, onExpire, onWaterTick, onWaterImpact, and onWaterExpire.

There're tons of kfx properties to mess with.  I really need to start working on a comprehensive list.  For now, you'll just have to look through the kfx files to see what's available.  The kfx reference in the assorted notes in my guide should help with a few of the more cryptic properties.
