Water with random effects

Post by sampip »

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!

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 :D

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?
