Each style corresponds to a temp entity.  I'd have to look at the source to see what they all are, though.  I don't know offhand.

Thanks!

Here's a listing: http://lazarus.planetquake.gamespy.com/target_effect.htm

Note that what paintball2 supports may not be exactly the same.

Be careful not to go overboard with these effects as they do take up bandwidth.

I actually don't think any of those will work.
EDIT: Target_effect doesn't even exist in Paintball2. Way to go, jits. You're thinking of target_temp_entity.

Yeah it is the target_temp_empty

Most of the styles are still the same.

/me points back to his previous statement: "Note that what paintball2 supports may not be exactly the same."

It's not at all the same! Those styles don't even exist! Gah!

EDIT:

These styles work.

5-8 - Yellow/white particle explosion.
17-19 - Same as 5-8.
20 - Nothing.
21 - Blue/white particle explosion.
35 - Nothing.
45 - Smoke puff
48-49 - Cyllindrical white particle explosion.
51 - AWESOME yellow/black shereical particle explosion.
52 - Slow red/black shereical particle explosion.
53-54 - Nothing

That's all of them through 70.

5 TE_EXPLOSION1

 7 TE_ROCKET_EXPLOSION
 8 TE_GRENADE_EXPLOSION
17 TE_ROCKET_EXPLOSION_WATER
18 TE_GRENADE_EXPLOSION_WATER

There aren't any explosion models/sounds with paintball2, so you just get the particle effects, which probably all look the same.

45 - Smoke puff

45 TE_CHAINFIST_SMOKE
This is the effect I built off of to create the smoke grenades.  Originally it was just little particle puffs.

The laser sparks were modified to make bigger splatters for the paint grenades.  Everything else should be the same as quake2, though the colors will be different because paintball2 has a different palette.

They all cause the game to crash, except for the ones I listed above.

Most tempentities require other parameters, that's why.

Title: Re: Smoke or other styles
Post by: Eiii on February 23, 2006, 09:08:25 PM

Really? Could you take a look at the code and report back?

Title: Re: Smoke or other styles
Post by: jitspoe on February 23, 2006, 09:15:07 PM

You can't specify these parameters.  That's why it crashes.

Oooh. That would mean that they don't work, without modifying the game's code.
