== Introduction ==
CEG stands for Custom Explosion Generator, a scripting language for creating graphical effects. These are most commonly used to draw a graphical effect when a weapon hits a target, but can also be called from COB and Lua.

== Files Needed ==
The actual CEGs are defined in .tdf or .lua files in <code>effects/</code> (preferred) or <code>gamedata/explosions/</code> (old standard). You will also need a [[resources.lua]] in <code>gamedata/</code> to define textures, as well as the actual textures in <code>bitmaps/</code>. Finally, you need the weapon, unit, COB, and or Lua files that you are calling the CEGs from.
