Summary0005536: FX Editor
DescriptionA criminally underused aspect of TDM is the fx system. Fx definitions seem to be simply sequences of particles, sounds and lights, making it easier to coordinate them with each other without having to rely on something like a script or a cascade of trigger_relays. At least some entities support fx upon certain events, i.e. being damaged or destroyed.

Currently there are only 3 files in the fx folder, defining 11 different fx, of which about half are thunder fx and at least one doesn't work with current assets. Maybe the system would find more use if it were more visible in DR and had an editor similar to the particle editor?

I've opened a thread about the FX system here: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/20775-fx-system/
Additional InformationI've attached the 3 existing .fx files to give examples. There doesn't seem to be documentation on TDM's website, but iddevnet.com has an article on them here:
