i personally do not know how to create an effect from scratch and get it in-game so i use a different method of modifying the original effects
(this works for trail fx, lasers, flamethrowers and not the actual things connected to projectiles like exhaust)

have a look in 'FXParticleSystem.xml'. from that file you can copy the original effects you need e.g use things like:
- the 'RailgunCore' effects for lasers (although this will not be like the Nod lasers on the avatar and remember to rename the 'new' effect)

once you have done this go into 'FXList.xml' and make a new entry that references your effect e.g (in FXListGDI)

<FXList id="FX_RailGunFire">
<NuggetList>
<ParticleSystem
Particle="RailgunCore"
UseTarget="true"
OrientToObject="true"
Ricochet="true" />
<ParticleSystem
Particle="RailgunThreads"
UseTarget="true"
OrientToObject="true"
Ricochet="true" />
<ParticleSystem
Particle="RailgunThreads"
UseTarget="true"
OrientToObject="true"
Ricochet="true" />
<ParticleSystem
Particle="RailgunThreads"
UseTarget="true"
OrientToObject="true"
Ricochet="true" />
<ParticleSystem
Particle="RailgunFireFlash"/>
<ParticleSystem
Particle="RailgunFireSmoke"/>
<ParticleSystem
Particle="RailgunFireDistort"/>


</NuggetList>
</FXList>

this entry references everything that railguns use in-game.

once you have done this add it as firefx to your desired weapon in the weapon.xml file

this is a result of this sort of fx modding:
