So are these things only good for damage, light, sound, and particles? How have you guys been able to make these tags work for you?

Making the tags work doesn't involve just editing the tag itself, you must edit all the dependancies separately. You'll see a good example of this in one of my upcoming mods.

I didn't mean work as in they're broken, I mean in what ways do you make them do cool stuff for you? I know that they have dependencies, but can they do stuff other than damage, light, sound, and particles?

:P

I don't want a tutorial, I was just wondering to what extent others have utilized them. This will partly help me to avoid repeat mods.

Oh. In a few of my mods I make new particle effects, by swapping in different bitmap dependancies. (EX: I made an energy grenade using the teleportation particle bitmaps in the particle tag).
