This is listed in the acc_fire_light xdp but I can't find it in the BoB effects and not the ETO. Can someone check the MAW effects and see?

fx_acc_fire_light

That one didn't make it into the all-in-one effects.xml we did a couple of years ago. (Easy to check since it's sorted alphabetically).

We drew in all the effects we could find from CFS3, ETO, Korea, MAW, PTO, RS, BoB, and FP.

We did not borrow anything from WOFF or WOTR, so perhaps that's where it is?

That could be a Clive and Steve concoction/production.
 
Couldn't find in any install inc WOTR, and variations on name.

EDIT so fasr traced the xdp back to a folder in Airfield Construction Corps\GL&Airfields_220408\Vehicles daterd 2-0111 but the xdp seems to be 2006
 
Found it I think

Are these effects only in vehicles? Is it worth adding to the combined effects xml? I notice the Mogami cruisers and generic Japanese destroyers have bespoke effects which I have planned to put into the xml.
 
Up date

Ok,

Have the fire working. Had to copy and rename a couple of dds files and add them to nightsprites in the textmagic.ini file. But the fires look great and only burn at night. Can make a alltime fire too but maybe later on. Oh, had to make a new .m3d file as the one in acc_fire_light did not work. The electric light, should be simple enough too, just not sure I need it right now. Thanks for all the feedback! Yes these are vehicle files.
