Helpful Resources & Tips

Here you'll find a list of helpful resources to, hopefully, simplify your new journey into creating custom visual effects.


Regex Snippets

These are little snippets of information that you'll input into the search function and Ensure the Regex Button is toggled on. With these, you can use the search function to find what you need, and in the replace function, it will replace the associated value to whatever you input in the Replace Bar.

  • (?<=type="fvec4" value=")[\d\. ]+: This particular command will locate all values of fvec4, which are what the attribute types of the ARGB colors are.
  • (?<=type="fvec4" value=")([\d\.]+ [\d\.]+ [\d\.]+): This is the same as above, only more precise, as it ignores the Alpha value.
  • (?<="ID" type="guid" value=")[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}: This command will find any UUID. If you have the right extensions, you can search for UUIDs, Pres alt+enter to highlight all of the values, then alt-v to automatically change every instance to a random UUID.

Notice

Your hotkeys may vary depending on your settings.


  • (?<="StartTime" type="float" value=")[\d\. ]+: This will highlight the Start Time values for you to change.
  • (?<="EndTime" type="float" value=")[\d\. ]+: Same as above, except with End Time values.
  • <!-- .* -->: This will allow you to highlight any comments or notations you've made throughout a file.

This plugin is designed to show you the visual color of your ARGB values when looking at the values.


This contains a complete list of the VFX strings and their associated UUIDs. This is useful as a reference to find specific values to Index Search.
