Followed the tut and not sure what the deal is but when I try and load into the map it tells me "Could not load rawfile mp_cover_town_fx.gsc" and "Could not find script...."

In my raw/maps/mp is that exact fx.gsc with the following

#include maps\mp\_utility;


main()
{
	precacheFX();
	spawnFX();
}

precacheFX()
{
	level._effect["waterfall"] = loadfx("env/water/fx_wtrfall_md");
}

spawnFX()
{
	playLoopedFx(level._effect["waterfall"], 4, (-4608 5048 416), 0, anglestoforward ((0,90,0)), anglestoup((0,0,0)));
}

And I of course already have the standard map .gsc which looks like this

main()
{      
             //needs to be first for create fx
             maps\mp\_interactive_objects::init();        
             maps\mp\_load::main();
			 maps\mp\mp_cover_town_fx::main();
			 maps\mp\_teleport::main();
             //maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_cover_town");

	//maps\mp\mp_cover_town_amb::main();
          
              setExpFog(600, 3500, 0.3, 0.3, 0.25, 0);
	// If the team nationalites change in this file,
	// you must update the team nationality in the level's csc file as well!
	game["allies"] = "marines";
	game["axis"] = "japanese";
	game["attackers"] = "allies";
	game["defenders"] = "axis";
	game["allies_soldiertype"] = "pacific";
	game["axis_soldiertype"] = "pacific";

	setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );

	setdvar("compassmaxrange","2100");

	// enable new spawning system
	maps\mp\gametypes\_spawning::level_use_unified_spawning(true);

}

And in zone source map csv

Where is rawfile,maps/mp/mp_cover_town_fx.gsc

in your csv file?

There is nothing in the tut that mentions adding the line
rawfile,maps/mp/mp_cover_town_fx.gsc

It only states to create the mp_cover_town_fx.gsc and placing it in the raw/maps/mp folder

The file gets loaded from the csv file for fx. I have it in all my csv files...

You dont need to recompile the whole thing now just build fastfiles and launch map

Ya lost me

I tried adding the line rawfile,maps/mp/mp_cover_town_fx.gsc
to my csv, even though the tut doesnt say to do it and now it just tells me "bad syntax"

And what do you mean "I have it all in my csv files"?

The bad syntax is in your mp_cover_town_fx.gsc probably....

Thats a good sign though that the compiler is trying to load the file but it has errors...

run "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\raw\console_mp.log"

to see what the errors are....


All I meant was that I need the line in my csv files to make my maps run...

Nothing in there and the last time it was accessed was over 2 weeks ago.

Tinkered with it some more in frustration and not sure what happened, but I got it working now. Only problem is... it looks like some one turned on a faucet not a waterwall... how do you make this thing look like it should???

Hi mate!

I put 4 right next to each other which gave it more substance.

Ian.

I lined 2 rows 8 across and still looked horrible. Dont recall where in the default map there is a waterfall but its a joke to even be named that... should be named something like more suitable like water sprinkler
