There you go. There are descriptions on how to use them underneath.

I've thought about this as well. How do you create a custom screen effect?
Like for example this frost/ice around the screen:

@Zandra : I believe it works with a full conversion and a custom sanity event. Think DnAlange did something like that, but to be honest I'm really not sure about it u_u...

Hmm yeah I suspected it required full conversion, but I want to know how to create one.

I think that you have to create your own insanity event (like the worms on the screen) and then start it by using script (i believe if there is a one for this)

Though it has to be added in "main_sanity_events" I think :/

RE: Help please >.<

You edit misc/main_sanity_events.cfg
Then you call your custom insanity event with StartRandomInsanityEvent();

Being that it's at random which Insanity Event is called, you wanna disable all the others first.
SetInsanitySetEnabled( asInsanitySet, true/false );

So, basically if you have your custom insanity event and it's set name is "Frost" (it uses sets, not specific names)
You gotta use SetInsanitySetEnabled(set, false) on every other set in the file before you call StartRandomInsanityEvent();

It's supposed to work %100 but still there's a weird chance, like %15 of the time, your StartRandomInsanityEvent call gets ignored. As if the game decided that none of the insanity events are gonna play.

More info

Here's the guide dnAlange did once.
I didn't read it, but we talked many times and tried many methods and still the function fails time to time.

RE: Help please >.<

If you're thinking about texture format, it's definitely either .tga or .dds. HPL does not like gifs Tongue
