IW3xRadiant allows you to play and place effects right inside the editor.
It can generate so-called createfx files that are automatically loaded by the game.
Generating CreateFX files
- Menubar > File > Generate File > Createfx
- This will generate createfx files using data off all fx_origins present on your map (you don’t need to select them)
- Radiant will save the generated files to:
cod4/bin/IW3xRadiant/createfx
Using CreateFX files on your map
- Copy paste the file:
mp_MAPNAME_fx.gscfromcod4/bin/IW3xRadiant/createfxtocod4/raw/maps/mp/(next to your maps gsc)- Copy paste the file:
mp_MAPNAME_fx.gscfromcod4/bin/IW3xRadiant/createfx/createfxtocod4/raw/maps/createfx/
Add the files to your map's zone file
rawfile,maps/mp/mp_MAPNAME_fx.gsc
rawfile,maps/createfx/mp_MAPNAME_fx.gscAdd the following to your maps gsc
main()
{
/* ... */
maps\mp\_load::main();
