Hi all,i have a little problem, colors settings are strange in .eff files.i have:

0.25 0.55 0.23 0.23

i know it's x y and z,and light,but how to know values?me,i know this:

0.252 0.245 0.654
and it works for water,but not for the .eff files.so,how to know colors?

thanks

They are RGB(Red Blue Green) and alpha channel (transparency) values,in your example it means:
0.25 X 255=64 Red
0.55 x 255=140 Green
0.23 x 255=59 Blue
and 0.23 x 1.0=0.23 alpha channel

Code:

Color0 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.8  
  Color1 1.0 0.50 0.14 0.0

* In a effects file the Color0 is the primary color of paricles and color1 is the final color of particles.
Maybe time to go and play with effect files color now! :wink:

To edit Eff files do you need to decompile them with classresolver and then recompile them with a java program or simpy open them in Notepad or something?

They are not class files, so no need to decompiler or classresolver, you just open and edit them in Notepad!

If you want to edit or choose the colors, you have to use more powerfull tools (like "gimp" which is freeware you can download here http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
or "photoshop"(not freeware!) than paint (if you mean MS paint in windows). :wink:
