Registering new effects

This required Codeware and Redscript.

Prerequisites

You already have an .es file with your custom effect
Using the method below will add Redscript and Codeware to your mod's dependencies

Merging your custom .es file into static_effects.csv

Create a new file in r6/scripts/yourname and call it something like registerEffects.reds. Paste the following content:

Originally provided by psibex

class EffectFactoryTest extends ScriptableService {
    private cb func OnLoad() {
        GameInstance.GetCallbackSystem().RegisterCallback(n"Resource/Loaded", this, n"OnEffectFactoryLoad")
            .AddTarget(ResourceTarget.Path(r"base\gameplay\game_effects\static_effects.csv"));
    }
    private cb func OnEffectFactoryLoad(event: ref) {
        let csv = event.GetResource() as C2dArray;
        ArrayPush(csv.data, ["my_effect", "mymod\effect.es"]);
    }
}

That's it. After this script gets executed, your effect is now available.
