So no help here?

nope doesn't exist

there are five or so engine fx (not a lot actually), and lots of sizes for each - liberty engines, kusari, rheinland, corsair, junker, etc - it's not really something you need a picture to preview, as all the engine effects are in use -somewhere- and one merely has to match the memory to the ship & engine arch

There is a Mod called Engine Shop Freelancer Mod by OuterStar that has a picture of the colors if that helps http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/download/download.asp?id=2351

.... as stated above: there are only some basic engine fx.

But you can (mis)use weapon effects to create your own effects:


Done like that:
=====================================00
in weapons_ale.ini (weapons_ale.ini is correct)
------------------------
- VisEffect -
nickname = wts_engine21_proj
alchemy = fx\weapons\rh_plasma_04.ale
effect_crc = -73976642
textures = fx\planetflare.txm
textures = fx\sarma.txm
textures = fx\standardeffects.txm
textures = fx\miningship.txm
textures = fx\hexagon.txm
==========================
and in effects.ini
------------------------
[Effect
nickname = wts_engine21_proj
effect_type = EFT_WEAPON_PROJ
vis_effect = wts_engine21_proj

thanks, all that helps. Especially the gun effect thing

O_o

You know, I never thought of using non-engine effects as, well, engine effects. Brilliant. =D

What's the size of this ship though? I don't know, but it seems rather small... Most weapon effects seem too small to fit in vanilla engine exhausts.

But on that ship, some of those "engine fx" look VERY neat.

is it possible to combine effects?

Yes it is possible but you might get a bad looking effect. I do it all the time with weapons. It just takes time however getting it to look right so be prepared to spend time on one weapon or engine, w/e.
