I have created the following .gsc file.. main() { maps\mp\_load::main(); //setExpFog(300, 1400, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0); ambientPlay("ambient_farm"); VisionSetNaked( "mp_farm", 0 ); game["allies"] = "sas"; game["axis"] = "russian"; game["attackers"] = "allies"; game["defenders"] = "axis"; game["allies_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; game["axis_soldiertype"] = "woodland"; setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "5" ); level._effect[ "wood" ] = loadfx( "explosions/grenadeExp_wood" ); level._effect[ "dust" ] = loadfx( "explosions/grenadeExp_dirt_1" ); level._effect[ "brick" ] = loadfx( "explosions/grenadeExp_concrete_1" ); level._effect[ "coolaidmanbrick" ] = loadfx( "explosions/grenadeExp_concrete_1" ); level._effect[ "rain_heavy_mist" ] = loadfx( "weather/rain_mp_farm" ); level._effect[ "lightning" ] = loadfx( "weather/lightning_mp_farm" ); level._effect[ "cgoshp_drips_a" ] = loadfx( "misc/cgoshp_drips_a" ); //ambient runners level._effect[ "rain_splash_mp_farm" ] = loadfx( "ambient_runners/mp_farm_rain_splash01" ); level._effect[ "water_noise_ud" ] = loadfx( "ambient_runners/mp_farm_water_noise_ud01" ); level._effect[ "water_noise" ] = loadfx( "ambient_runners/mp_farm_water_noise01" ); /# if ( getdvar( "clientSideEffects" ) != "1" ) maps\createfx\mp_kek_fx::main(); #/ level.tweakfile = true; //* Fog section * setdvar( "scr_fog_disable", "0" ); setExpFog(300, 1400, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0); VisionSetNaked( "mp_kek", 0 ); } I basically tried every other way suggested in the forums but none worked as different files.... i.e. _fx _art etc compile & syntax errors. I tried every combination ended up putting all the weather commands into the mp_kek.gsc file & everything started working at once. Except visible rain!!! I have set my worldspawn & sky map settings to match mp_farm (downpour) The strange thing is that i get fog & the sounds, as though it is raining, & the sky is the same as mp_farm but, no visible drops of rain...... is this added through radiant...... if it is radient please describe how to add & link the Patches? Models? or whatever it is it uses.

as i already said, we miss something and that's why we don't see visible rain. i guess we have to do something in radiant, eg. adding a global rain effect to worldspawn (rain_heavy_mist) or something like this... currently we just load the effect Code: level._effect[ "rain_heavy_mist" ] = loadfx( "weather/rain_mp_farm" ); but we actually don't use it

this if from fastfile mp_farm.ff: maps/createfx/mp_farm_fx.gsc

Code:

//_createfx generated. Do not touch!!

main()
{
	// CreateFX entities placed: 114

	ent = maps\mp\_utility::createOneshotEffect( "rain_heavy_mist" );
	ent.v[ "origin" ] = ( 27.2079, -1156.02, 583.278 );
	ent.v[ "angles" ] = ( 270, 0, 0 );
	ent.v[ "fxid" ] = "rain_heavy_mist";
	ent.v[ "delay" ] = -15;

	ent = maps\mp\_utility::createOneshotEffect( "rain_heavy_mist" );
	ent.v[ "origin" ] = ( 305.878, 1079.03, 716.141 );
	ent.v[ "angles" ] = ( 270, 0, 0 );
	ent.v[ "fxid" ] = "rain_heavy_mist";
	ent.v[ "delay" ] = -15;

[...]
}

i guess you can plant effects in-game, but i don't have a clue how.

some code snippets:

raw\maps\mp\_utility.gsc:

Code:

createOneshotEffect( fxid )
{
	ent = maps\mp\_createfx::createEffect( "oneshotfx", fxid );
	ent.v[ "delay" ] = -15;
	return ent;
}

raw\maps\mp\_fx.gsc:

Code:

	OneShotfx: Fires an effect once.
	maps\mp\_fx::OneShotfx( effectname, (x y z), predelay);

	Example:
	maps\mp\_fx::OneShotfx(level.medFire,		// Medium fire effect
					(-701, -18361, 148),	// Origin
					5);						// Wait 5 seconds before doing effect

raw\maps\mp\_createfx.gsc:

Code:

createfx()
{
	precacheShader("black");	

	flag_init( "createfx_saving" );
	// Effects placing tool
	if ( !isdefined( level.createFX ) )
		level.createFX = [];
	
	triggers = getentarray( "trigger_multiple", "classname" );
	for (i=0;i

raw\maps\mp\_createfxMenu.gsc:

Code:

create_fx_menu()
{
	if ( button_is_clicked( "escape", "x" ) )
	{
		exit_menu();
		return;
	}

	if (menu("creation"))
	{
		if (button_is_clicked("1"))
		{
			setmenu("create_oneshot");
			draw_effects_list();		
			return;
		}

i already played on a few custom maps where it was raining...but i cant get the rain to work on my map :( i spend the last few days with searching the modsonline forum,german and english wiki and other cod sides ! tried the cod 2 the tutorial for rain like caretaker said i tried both ways the one with test2_fx.gsc and the .gsc but that doesnt work ...it always gave me an } bad syntax error and if i changed the brackets i get other errors :( and i tried other codes which i found in the forums but the best i could get was the rain sound,fire and smoke to work!but thats all i also used parts of the the mp_farm.gsc and mp_cargoship.gsc but doesnt work either cause the effect isnt defined there:( on the wiki side it says : Quote: The maps that shipped with the game have a separate map_art.gsc file where these effects were defined. User-made maps won't have this file, so the effects should be defined within the map_fx.gsc file. i checked all iwi.files in the main and all other cod4 folders but i cant find the cargoship/farm_art.gsc to check how i have to define... But how do i define that?? i guess somehow like in the cod2 tutorial but how? or is it an worldspawnsetting? it would be nice if someone could explain how we get rain to work on cod4 ;) plz dont post links to the tuts or to other forum threads...i have already read them all!!! and if that is that easy like a lot of guys say in the forum...then it couldnt be too hard to write a simple cod4 rain tut for the mapping community ;) regards and sry for the bad english :P -edit- as u see on my register date...this is my first question! im mapping since cod 1 and i always helped me out by myself with using the tuts and reading the forum but this time i am really stuck ! edited on Feb. 8, 2008 09:34 am by SST_Co2_HeadHUNTER

ginj: Quote: actually in the stock maps, the effect locations are made in the art file but we dont have art files with radiant as custom map builder. so u got to add them in the _fx.gsc file, like the way u did. dunno if theere are any errors in ur script, but thats the way to go you can extract the stock map art files from map fastfiles. if you want to know how to, let me know. as far as we don't know how IW did the art stuff, we have to do it like for cod2 (all fx placed manually or via script, eg. mp_mapname_fx.gsc) if you still get errors after removing bracket errors may mean, that you had errors before, but the bracket errors were caught before the syntax errors etc. so try to fix all of them.
