I've been trying to put the Kamino rain in my map by coppying the kamino1.fx file and renaiming it to ```.fx munged and the map crashes, I checked the error log and there was nothing about rain or fx.

Well, its not just that i think, you have to write somewhere so i may be seen in game... some one correct me but, was tha on the LUA ?

Post the error log.

Adding rain (or any other environmental effects) doesn't require any lua work.

So where it was ?

error log in a few minutes....

EDIT: So heres the log:


works fine without rain, rain was the first thing I tryed

Maybe the fx is requesting the textures for the other effect, water, and can't find them?

I've tryed putting every file mentioned in the kamino1.fx file in my world 1 folder along with the fx file, no dice.

Try making a completely new fx and just copying the rain effect.

I'll try that, but don't abandon this forum, I may need some more help

That is a common effect that is loaded automatically with the line ReadDataFile:ingame.lvl in your LUA. Re-adding it is not necessary.

Did you try a clean and remunge? Are you sure you named everything correctly?

Off topic - same thing is happening to me! But, lucky for you it hasn't crashed your map! The error log says nothing too. I wonder if their is a tutorial with adding rain to your map. If not, someone deffinately needs to make one. I'll gonna look right now...


Edit - Tutorial below, but I also found this... I think it has to do with fx. files. Not 100% sure though.

It is crashing his map. Adding rain is one of the most easiest things to do, so I'm betting he named something wrong.

okay, map no longer crashes, but no rain.

I copied kamino's fx to world 1, renamed it ***.fx and munged

Post the contents of your fx file.

same as the kamino fx file except renamed:

So you just copied and renamed it? If so, you'll need to open it up and resave it, then munge.

To further clarify on that, you'll need to do it because if you copy and paste the file, it retains its old time stamp. VM (Visual Munge) munges files according to time stamp; if they have a time stamp younger than the last munge, they get munged. In the case of copy and pasting, the old time stamp is copied and read, and so VM is tricked into thinking that the file has already been munged.

The way to fix this is to clean and remunge or, as Xavious posted (and certaintly the better way to do it), just open and save.

THX!!!!!!!
