I was just about to load water into my map when I realised.... oh crud i've deleted the envfx line from my ***.req file. So I put the water part of the yavin.fx file into all the random fx files that I was using, and loaded it for each sky. But then I get this in the munge log:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ERROR[configmunge sky\kamino1.fx]:This file is missing a closing bracket somewhere!

However, it did work on my other random sky (?!), there were no errors there. Here are my fx files:

I know what is missing, but I don't know where I need to add/delete brackets. I had a look through it and I cant see anywhere where I need to do that

help would be appreciated

you need a bracket after the last bracket in the quoted text also you can delete all the lines under ps2 and xbox they are useless to the modtools

which one, the first quoted text (the one with the precipitation in it) one has two brackets at the end, the second quoted text (the one with the flares) has three. surely i don't need four on that one?

Posted: **Fri May 08, 2009 3:10 pm**

you have 4 open and 3 closed you do the math add a bracket after the last one on the quoted text above it should look like this
