Not directly QC related, but very close. Electro compiled a list of all the properties and fields of the effectinfo.txt file, and here goes, together with comments:
EDIT: Electro put it in a easier to read file _________________ Look out for Twigboy |

DP has builtin effects which are overridden if you add a file called effectsinfo.txt to the mod directory. It doesn't have a file by default, but download one and stick it in there and it'll work. _________________ Apathy Now! |

I would really love to have a "Quake" effectinfo.txt that makes especially the explosion and rocket trail particles look like Quake. I am too stupid to make it myself. _________________ Quake Maps |

Get DPMOD from the darkplaces website, I'm 99% sure there's one in there. _________________ Apathy Now! |

I checked out the effectinfo.txt and it's pretty cool! Does add a nice visual change.
Though, I have looked over Electro's list of properties and fields for the effectinfo.txt file... and it all makes sense to me... I just don't understand why there are three TE_GUNSHOT effects or why there are two TE_SPIKE effects inside of effectinfo.txt.
Also, how many effects can I place into effectinfo.txt? _________________ Good God! You shot my leg off! |

Well, I for one, created a new fire effect. The fire had 3 TE_FIRE phases: the fire, the smoke and the sparks.
Look at "type" and you'll see what I mean. You'll see several types for the same effect: smoke, static, snow, spark, etc.
Here's my example of fire as seen in this movie http://vimeo.com/6994514
Code: | // Fire
effect TE_FOC
count 10
type static
tex 11 11
size 6 34

originjitter 30 30 30
//velocityoffset 0 0 5
airfriction 4
bounce 0
velocityjitter 0 0 0
velocitymultiplier 1100.01
gravity -0.5
notunderwater
color 0x6f0f00 0xe3974f
lightradius 205

//lightcolor 4 2 0.5

// Fire Smoke Addon
effect TE_FOC
count 2
type smoke
tex 0 8
color 0x303030 0x303030

// Fire Sparks Addon
effect TE_FOC

size 0.15 0.20
sizeincrease -0.04

P.S. FOC means FIRE in Romanian.  _________________ My Projects: Quake 1 Mods | OpenQuartz 2 | ChipQuake
