2DFX is a section in the item definition file. It is used to place lights, particles, and ped behaviors on objects.

GTA III - Vice City

Type 0: Light

ID, X, Y, Z, R, G, B, 200, Type, Corona, Shadow, Distance, Outer range, Size, Inner range, IDE flag, Wet, Flare, Dust

Identifier	Description
ID	associated to existing object ID defined in OBJS section
X, Y, Z	X, Y, and Z coordinates relative to the center of the object
R, G, B	color of the light and everything associated it in RGB format
Type	type of 2DFX, always 0 for lights
Corona	corona associated to the light defined in particle.txd, usually "coronastar" for lighta
Shadow	shadow associated to the light?, usually "shad_exp"
Distance	view distance of the light, is limited by the draw distance of the host object
Outer range	the range the light can cast on objects, cars, and peds
Size	the size of the corona, can be a float or integer, size 0 means no visible corona but effect of light still visible
Inner range	the range the light can cast on the ground
IDE flag	IDE flag, only the time-dependent flags are useable
Flash	sets the type of flashing (see below)
Wet	sets the particle to be "reflective" on wet grounds
Flare	sets the particle to create a lens flare on the screen, similar to what the sun does 0 - no lens flare, 1 - lens flare effect
Dust	sets the intensity of light reflecting off dust, values 4 to 7 have visible effects

Types of Flashes

0	constantly lit all time
1	constantly lit at night
2	occasional flicker all time
3	occasional flicker at night
4	~1 second flashes
5	~1 second flashes at night
6	~2 seconds flashes
7	~2 seconds flashes at night
8	~3 seconds flashes
9	~3 seconds flashes at night
10	random flicker
11	random flicker at night

Type 1: Particle

ID, X, Y, Z, R, G, B, 200, Type, Particle, unk1, unk2, Size

Identifier	Description
ID	associated to existing object ID defined in OBJS section
X, Y, Z	X, Y, and Z coordinates relative to the center of the object
R, G, B	useless values
Type	type of 2DFX, always 1 for particles
Particle	particle type (see below)
Size	the size of the particle

Types of Particles

0	small white smoke
1	medium white smoke
2	large white smoke
3	fire
4	black smoke
5	water fountain
6	water spray
