[Community tutorial] Complete guide to using Effects Editor in COD4

[Sheep_Wizard 183]

So a while ago I started a complete guide to using the effects editor as there currently isn't much documentation on how to use the effects editor. I have currently done the navigation segment and have started to work on the the generation tab.

 

But there is still a lot more to do and would take me a long time to finish it all. I also do not know everything about the editor.

 

So I was wondering if anyone was interested in helping add to this guide, if you are pm me.

 

If people don't help I will still try to finish this myself but will probably take a while as I'm lazy :P

 

 

Here is a link to the google docs so you can see what I have done so far:

(the formatting is pretty horrible at the moment and there are a few mistakes)

Formatting is pretty horrible and hard to read, maybe you should work with to get a tut put up at http://wiki.modsrepository.com/ ? specially since this tut looks waaaaaay to long for it to be a post and the post will make the format horrible.

Didnt know you could post tutorials on that website but it sounds like a good idea.

 

Also I agree the formatting is bad, that is something I need help with as I have no idea what the best way to way it is.

Sort order - Rendering order of the effect (ex. the effect will be added(projected? cant find a proper word) onto a water surface)
