Hi how would I get torchflame.fx to work on my Rhen Var map?

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.

do you have the file in your effects folder ?

The odf or effect file?

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

Up above with Rhn_bldg_ruin_light_coals_amber.odf

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

modmaster13 · Post by **modmaster13** » Fri Nov 26, 2010 5:14 pm

Oh. I put the effects folder in the world1, msh, and odf

DarthD.U.C.K. · Post by **DarthD.U.C.K.** » Fri Nov 26, 2010 6:08 pm

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

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

add this to the odf under properties:

Code: Select all

AttachEffect = "effectname"

SoundProperty = "com_amb_fire"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_fire"

Ok I can hear the fire crackling, but there is no fire

Here is my odf file:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[GameObjectClass]		

ClassLabel		=	"building"

GeometryName	=	"rhn_bldg_ruin_light_coals_amber.msh"

[Properties]		

GeometryName	=	"rhn_bldg_ruin_light_coals_amber"

AttachOdf   = "Rhnamber"

AttachToHardPoint  = "hp_amber"

AttachEffect = "torchflame.fx"

SoundProperty = "com_amb_fire"

AttachToHardPoint = "hp_fire"

DarthD.U.C.K. · Post by **DarthD.U.C.K.** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 10:26 am

try that:

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "building"
GeometryName = "rhn_bldg_ruin_light_coals_amber.msh"

[Properties]

GeometryName = "rhn_bldg_ruin_light_coals_amber"

AttachEffect = "torchflame.fx"
SoundProperty = "com_amb_fire"
AttachToHardPoint = "hp_amber"
