First of all, on that screenshot, there is nothing new at it.
Secondly, you simply cannot. Just cut out that thinking that people did these and that and whatever. You simply cannot implement new effects.

The .efp files are refering to different items inside the data (plain texture layers) and particles (looping post-scripted, well, particle effects) packs.
You have to link each item to the main .efp file, which no one can manipulate them properly.
E.g. a link is "SOMEWEIRDFIGURESHEREANDTHERE\textures\smoke.ddjAN OTHERUSELESSFIGURESTUFF", you cannot replace the "textures\smoke.ddj" with something like "SOMEAWSUMFOLDERNAME\unlimitedfiguresandsuch.d dj". That won't work.
Even if you fit in some figures ("texture1\smoky.ddj"), making it hard to track after a while, you won't have the precise given details in DPI, size (X,Y (particles additionally Z axis)), layers, filters, etc.

you can keep the same " "textures\smoke.ddj" "

and just edit it from zero, just leave the same name.

Hai.
Well, that doesn't matter, if you are going to recolor the linked ddj files, but this specific thread wants to make new effects, so yeah.
But the same issue still remains: No accessibility to the real effects, the scripted part about each item being linked to the efp, that "when to flash, when to blend in which layer, how to move resize and when to fade them out".
Joymax coded their efp files not with any common program.

You cannot create new skill effects like new weapons via 3Ds Max Design/Blender or whatever someone is using for it. Those efp files have been coded by a private application from Joymax itself.

Same question

[Emerald Garden SRO]

Now, that's a good question.

You can use the skilleffect file to create instances of existing effects and use them as source for new stuff...
In the end it does not matter to create everything from scratch if you can use existing effects and manipulate them to look different.

Possible (refers to a full object, not parts of it):
- multiply objects (adding additional lines)
- fade in/out with timer
- position
- movement position
- rotation
- sound
- size
- color
- a "chain of effects" if you have a matching animation on your bsr

Not possible:
- create a new "effect structure"

The top picture is based on flying dragon skill, the lower pictures are based on ice storm.

Hope a superexpert would achieve it someday <3
