Hey guys maybe someone here can assist me with this problem. Well generally im working on a GCW era mode that use modified version of the rebels and empire. Ive been working on it over the summer and I really didn't experience all that many problems. So far only the rebel side had been modified with classes, weapons and effects. The rebel side was nearing completion and I wanted to start doing modifications to the empire side. This is where it gets a little weird, so I went ahead and added a "dc:" to the empire line in my test map cor1g_con.lua
and made it this
and repeated the process to main lua RVPg_con.lua
and made it this

After that it made my effects blockey which is really weird. I take the dc: out of the imps and everything works fine again when re-munged. This has been tested several times and the same thing seems to happen. I went ahead and asked a few other modders before I posted this and they told me they are not sure why this happens and that it is odd that it would. These have been the only changes I made to it, it uses the stock ingame.req file which has worked for the custom effects on the rebels pretty good so I really don't think that is the problem especially since I didn't make any changes to it.

Hmm... Double-check all of your ordnance ODFs, make sure all of the LaserTexture instances are equal to an existing laser texture.

So basically, instead of things like: you should only find things like:

The "com_sfx_laser_red2" tga seems to work fine, it has been for the past few months with no changes other than the fact that is was a custom one made from a months ago. hmm, actually would it matter where the effect is? I mean it is located in the "effects folder" in the "all folder". But the line comes from the rifle_ord file in the common folder. The rebel side right now is the only one with the dc: addition and it works fine with the custom effects, maybe the imp folder isn't reading form the common folder properly? It was suggested to me to take a look at the addme.lua but it really didn't need any changing from what I can tell since it only tells the game to load these custom sides on coursauant.


Edit: that is strange, I cant find the texture.....yeah I think I see where the problem is....haha. Big thanks to nedarb for that suggestion and to you to marth, will be back to see if I fixed it.

Usually when things are blocky, that means they haven't been munged properly out of your sides folder. I once tried to use a custom texture for an effect but I was never able to figure out how to munge it or where to put it.

Solved, thanks guys!
