Set up a ODF and add it to your world folder.

I did. I am using Rhn_bldg_ruin_light_coals_amber.odf, but I am trying to get the fire effect.

The .fx file, of course. ODFs should go in the odf folder.

Rhn_bldg_ruin_light_coals_amber.odf uses the Rhnamber.odf, which is an attached light. With what ODF parameter are you using to reference the torchflame.fx?

Sorry if I am giving you a hard time but I am not very good at this. The Rhnamber.odf light is on the light_coals_amber odf, but there is no fire and fire sounds from it even when I put the effects folder in the world1 folder.

that might be the case because Rhnamber.odf is a light not an effect
AQT was asking how you attched the effect to the odf

you know that you have to make a custom odf with the effect attached, right? just copying the effectfiles in every folder wont help. i suggest you read through the documentation which comes with the modtools. it explains many fundamental things such as how odfs etc. work
Attaching Effect

Hey.
How would I attach an effect to an odf? I still don't how to attach one.
I would like to attach the Rhen Var fire effect to the Rhn_bldg_ruin_light_coals_amber.odf

Code: Select all
AttachEffect = "effectname"
SoundProperty = "com_amb_fire"
