FWsim loads effects from “Documents → FW-Sim”. There, you will have one subfolder per author name. You can also arrange your effects files differently and group them by subject, for example. So when you download effects you could put them into a folder “Documents → FW-Sim → DFWST” or “Documents → FW-Sim → Effects I downloaded from the FWsim community forum”.
you have put the effect file into the right folder, so it should work. Let’s investigate why it doesn’t:
Do you get any error message when FWsim starts?
After putting the file in that folder, did you restart FWsim?
The current beta version 3.4.1.308 is a preview of FWsim 3.5. So it’s “FWsim 3.5” even though the version number still starts with “3.4”. The version number will be increased to 3.5 once testing is complete.
hello! I’ve recently downloaded these and there is a mine that goes from right to left in a single position, (also known as the 06200 bruiser,) is there a way to repeat it, but instead of right to left it goes left to right?
I haven’t looked at the specific effect you mention, however I believe this would work: If you use FWsim Creative Edition, you can do this:
go to preferences
Enable “Allow changing of firework rotation”
Select the effect in the timeline
Adjust the “firework rotation” to 180° in the sidebar on the right
If you use FWsim Basic or FWsim on Steam, then you can probably open the effect in the effect editor, edit the settings, and save a copy. If you need more help on that, feel free to post again.
