How do I change the landing effect for flyers? [Solved]

fasty · Post by **fasty** » Sun Jan 22, 2012 1:37 am

I recently downloaded the Conversion Pack Vehicles Side and I put a jedi starfighter into my map. It works great except when I land with it there's a huge black dust cloud that significantly lowers my FPS and makes my screen almost freeze for a few seconds. I believe it also makes my map crash later on after I've used it, about five minutes later it will crash to desktop with no errors in the error log. I'm pretty sure I have all the effects needed in my effects folder and all the msh & tga files. So how do I get rid of the dust cloud? I would like to get rid of the cloud completely and have no effect for when I land.
Here's a video of the ship landing:

In your map's .req file, look for this:

Code: Select all

REQN
{
	"config"
	"flyerspray"
	"walkerstomp"
	"hailfire_wake"
}

Delete "flyerspray". While I'm not sure if this is the right one, I am making an educated guess that it is.
