Daniel Gibson 5a7e5cbe45 Q4: Fix links within Wiki
it's more or less usable now!

all images (except for the ones of moinmoin itself) are still missing.

possibly articles are missing as well, haven't checked yet

(and the lost downloads are missing, of course)

<span class="anchor" id="line-1"></span><p class="line862">The Orbit tab has rotational controls for <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Sprite.html">sprites</a> around their <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Origin.html">origin</a>. Used in conjunction with Offset. With an <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Offset.html">Offset</a> of 0, Orbit will not function correctly. Orbit uses <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Offset.html">Offset</a> to know how large the circle of Orbit is. If <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Offset.html">Offset</a> is set to 10 in the Forward axis, Orbit will use those 10 units as the radius (not diameter) to orbit the center of the effect by. <span class="anchor" id="line-2"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-3"></span><p class="line862">A good example effect to look at Orbit is: <strong>effects/weapons/rocketlauncher/impact.fx</strong>. The <strong>sparks</strong> segment uses <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Offset.html">Offset</a> and Orbit to generate swirling and random sparks within the explosion. The larger the Orbit and <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Offset.html">Offset</a> values, the more chaotic the Orbit will be. <span class="anchor" id="line-4"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-5"></span><p class="line862">Another example is <strong>effects/monsters/gladiator/railgun_trail.fx</strong>. The <strong>spiral_parts</strong> segment uses <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Offset.html">Offset</a> and Orbit to spiral sphere segments inward. The initial offset values transition from 15 to 1, so that the <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Sprite.html">sprites</a> move inward, while the Orbit rotates the <a href="./FXEditor_Tab_-_Sprite.html">sprites</a>. <span class="anchor" id="line-6"></span><hr /><p class="line874"> <span class="anchor" id="line-7"></span>
