How do one preview FX effects ? - Alvin - 06-11-2020
I am thinking of doing an SRP to modify my transport engine / thrusters to a different model, or maybe even emit some sort of light effect from a hard-point.
Is there an easy way I could review all the effects available ? I don't want to apply for one and then later on not liking the outcome.
Thanks in advance !

Single Player.

Quickest way is to host a local server. Kick yourself from it to instantly leave without the rejoin cooldown and rejoin to see the effect, rather than SP where you have to keep resetting the character up.

Could you elaborate ? Fx isn't something you can just buy off a station open-handedly and mount on a hard/light point. Also I assume I would need some sort of tool for it ?

no
alchemy is the format for creating effects, and you need to attach visual effects to an item. that item being some object, weapon, or engine entry.
if you want to find out what the engine effect is for example, find the entry in the engine_equip.ini
trail it back to effects.ini and then engine_ale.ini

Unfortunately I have no knowledge of fiddling with ini files so I may have to give that a pass.... Slightly concern it will corrupt the main game.
Was hoping there was an more easier way than that.
