Dust effects here (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/browse.php?browseon=&browsewhat=2&category=2&subcategory=2_&numreturn=25&displayformat=0&ofpv=1&searchstring=dust&searchwhat=1&searchlevel=0&searchopts=) 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 (http://www.ofpec.com/includes/download2.php?id=595). (Search page here (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/browse.php?browseon=&browsewhat=1&category=1&subcategory=1_-1&numreturn=25&displayformat=0&ofpv=1&searchstring=drop&searchwhat=1&searchlevel=0&searchopts=))

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.
