So I've tried everything I can think of and its not working for me.

I'm making a castle map and I created a torch prefab. I'm trying to make fire play at every torch in the map but I only get the Missing FX image playing instead of the fire fx.

Here's my torch script (mp_castle2_fire.gsc):

	main()
{
	Torch = getentarray("torch", "targetname");

	
	for(i = 0; i < Torch.size; i++)
	{
		maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("fire", Torch[i].origin, 0.5);
		maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("smoke", Torch[i].origin, 0.5);
	}
	//maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("fire", Torch.origin, 0.5);
}

mp_castle2.gsc:

		main()
{	
	
	maps\mp\mp_castle2_fire::main();
	maps\mp\mp_castle2_fx::main();
	maps\mp\_load::main();
	//maps\mp\mp_castle2_efx::main();

	//maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_bog");

	ambientPlay("ambient_crossfire");

	game["allies"] = "marines";
	game["axis"] = "opfor";
	game["attackers"] = "axis";
	game["defenders"] = "allies";
	game["allies_soldiertype"] = "desert";
	game["axis_soldiertype"] = "desert";
	
	setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "2" );
	
	setdvar("compassmaxrange","1800");
}

mp_castle2_fx.gsc:

main()
{
level._effect["fire"] = loadfx("fire\firelp_small_dl");
level._effect["smoke"] = loadfx("smoke\thin_black_smoke_M");		
}

IDK what else to do.. I've created fx before with no problems lol

Thanks =)

*EDIT*
Also, when i load the game my zone file puts messed up versions of the fx on the left side:

fx,firefirelp_small_dl
fx,smoke hin_black_smoke_m

Fixed.
The problem was one of two things:
1) Somehow the text in my script (not copy+pasted) was saved in a format that wasn't readable by CoD4.

2) You must use "/" and not "\".

Thank you all
