Rain problems [Solved]

I'm trying to create rain for my Kamino map, just like in the stock Kamino map. But when I take the FX file, rename it to my world's name, and put it in the world folder, my map crashes.

My FX file (the stock Kamino one with no changes:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Effect("Wind")

{

	Enable(1);

	Velocity(1.0, 0.3);

	VelocityRange(1.0);

	VelocityChangeRate(0.1);

}

Effect("Precipitation")

{

	Enable(1);

	Type("Streaks");

	Range(12.5);

	Color(216, 220, 228);

	VelocityRange(1.0);

	ParticleDensityRange(0.0);

	CameraCrossVelocityScale(0.2);

	CameraAxialVelocityScale(1.0);

	GroundEffect("rainsplash");

	GroundEffectSpread(8);

	PS2()

	{

		AlphaMinMax(0.8, 1.0);

		ParticleSize(0.06);

		ParticleDensity(80.0);

		Velocity(8.0);

		StreakLength(1.7);

		GroundEffectsPerSec(7);

	}

	XBOX()

	{

		AlphaMinMax(0.2, 0.3);

		ParticleSize(0.02);

		ParticleDensity(256.0);

		Velocity(9.0);

		StreakLength(1.0);

		GroundEffectsPerSec(15);

	}

	PC()

	{

		AlphaMinMax(0.3, 0.45);

		ParticleSize(0.02);

		ParticleDensity(256.0);

		Velocity(9.0);

		StreakLength(1.0);

		GroundEffectsPerSec(15);

	}

}

Effect("Lightning")

{

	Enable(1);

	Color(255, 255, 255);

	SunlightFadeFactor(0.1);

	SkyDomeDarkenFactor(0.4);

	BrightnessMin(1.0);

	FadeTime(0.2);

	TimeBetweenFlashesMinMax(3.0, 5.0);

	TimeBetweenSubFlashesMinMax(0.01, 0.5);

	NumSubFlashesMinMax(2, 5);

	HorizonAngleMinMax(30, 60);

	SoundCrack("kam_amb_thunder");

	SoundSubCrack("kam_amb_thundersub");

}

Effect("Water")

{

	// general parameters

	Tile(4.0,4.0);

	MainTexture("kam1_water_2");

	FoamTexture("kam1_water");

	FoamTile(5.0,5.0);

	// ocean parameters

	OceanEnable(1);

	WindDirection(0.2,1.0);

	WindSpeed(25.0);

	// water event parameters

	WaterRingColor(148, 170, 192,255);

	WaterWakeColor(192, 192, 192,255);

	WaterSplashColor((192, 192, 192,255);

	// PS2 parameters

	PS2()

	{

		Velocity(0.01,0.05);

		PhillipsConstant(0.00001);

		PatchDivisions(16,16);

		LODDecimation(2);

		MinDiffuseColor(32, 40, 32, 255);

		MaxDiffuseColor(128, 130, 128, 255);

		BorderDiffuseColor(160, 160, 160, 255);

		SpecularColor(192, 192, 192, 192);

		SpeckleSpecularColor(160, 160, 160, 255);

		SpeckleAmbientColor(75, 75, 75, 255);

		SpeckleTextures("water_specles0", "water_specles1", "water_specles2", "water_specles3");

		SpeckleTile(5.0, 5.0);

		SpeckleBlendSpeed(4.0);

		SpeckleScrollSpeed(0.0,0.0);

		SpeckleCoordShift(10.0,10.0);

		LightAzimAndElev(1.0,0.0);

	}

	XBOX()

	{

		Velocity(0.001,0.005);

		PhillipsConstant(0.00001);

		PatchDivisions(16,16);

		LODDecimation(2);

	}

	PC()

	{

		Velocity(0.001,0.005);

		PhillipsConstant(0.00001);

		PatchDivisions(16,16);

		LODDecimation(2);

	}

}

LightningBolt("skybolt")

{

	Texture("lightning");

	Width(30.0);

	FadeTime(0.5);

	BreakDistance(20.0);

	TextureSize(30.0);

	SpreadFactor(20.0);

	MaxBranches(2.0);

	BranchFactor(0.5);

	BranchSpreadFactor(8);

	BranchLength(80.0);

	InterpolationSpeed(0.4);

	NumChildren(1);

	ChildBreakDistance(15.0);

	ChildTextureSize(8.0);

	ChildWidth(1.0);

	ChildSpreadFactor(10.0);

	Color(255,255,255,255);

	ChildColor(255,255,255,150);

}

Effect("Blur")

{

	Enable(1);

	Mode(1)

	ConstantBlend(0.4)

	DownSizeFactor(0.2500)

}

I placed these lines in my REQ, just like in the stock Kamino one, and also copied the necessary files:

Hidden/Spoiler:

REQN

    {

        "texture"

        "KAMC_map"

        "kam1_water"

        "kam1_water_2"

        "geo_rainwash"

I uncommented the line before the envfx line in my REQ:

Hidden/Spoiler:

REQN

    {

        "envfx"

        "KAMC"

Any ideas on what I forgot to do?

when i used rain i never set up lines in req, i only copied .fx

Would I have to add the lines in my REQ as if I was adding water to my map?

ANDEWEGET · Post by **ANDEWEGET** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 7:12 am

yeah you have to add few lines from for example kashyyyk req to yours and lines in the fx

Thanks, I got it working. This can be locked.
