Dust effects here for choppers and tanks.

Smoke from the barrel of the rifle is a script added to each weapon addon. I'm not sure if you can do it with an external script, because the variables might be different for each weapon. I can direct you to Vektorboson's Drop[] Tutorial. (Search page here)

And tracers are also part of an addon's config. You would have to make a new addon and change the tracer color.

this is probably the best tracer script available now.

unfortunatly I think the creator has gotten bored with the project and didnt finish the final version.
