well, i have had 2 different ppl tell me what to do. one of them is all that admin control stuff with random weather and all that stuff that i dont want to deal with. i just want thick fog and rain. here is what i have that doesnt work.

main()
{
setExpFog (0.00015, .714, .714, .714, 0 );    
setCullFog (200, 5000, .714, .714, .714, 0);
ambientPlay("ambient_mp_brecourt");   
level.the_rain = loadfx ("fx/atmosphere/chateau_rain.efx");  

maps\mp\_load::main(); 
maps\mp\rain::main(); 

game["allies"] = "american";  
game["axis"] = "german";   

game["american_soldiertype"] = "airborne";   
game["american_soldiervariation"] = "normal"; 
game["german_soldiertype"] = "wehrmacht";
game["german_soldiervariation"] = "normal";

game["attackers"] = "allies";   
game["defenders"] = "axis";   

game["layoutimage"] = "";  

game["hud_allies_victory_image"]= "gfx/hud/hud@mp_victory_brewusa.dds"; 
game["hud_axis_victory_image"] = "gfx/hud/hud@mp_victory_brewger.dds";
}

and here is the rain.gsc that aparently has sumthin wrong with it. i dunno. one of these has a error sumwhere that i cannot find and its making me mad. everyone else seems to have no probs with these scripts.

well here is rain.gsc

main()

{

     level thread teh_rain();

}


teh_rain() 


{    

    zufall = RandomInt(100);        

            

    while(1) {

        

    

        players = getentarray("player", "classname");        

        

        if(players.size > 0) {

        

            max_nodes         = 20;

            max_nodes_per_player     = max_nodes/players.size;

        

        

            for(ii=0;ii

            

                for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++) {

                        

                    player = players[i];

                            

                    if(isAlive(player)) {

                    

                        x= 350-randomfloat(700);

                        y= 350-randomfloat(700);                    

                

                            pos = player.origin +(x,y,200) ;                        

                            trace = bulletTrace(pos,pos +(0,0,-250), true, undefined);

                            

                            if(trace["fraction"] != 1) playfx(level.the_rain,trace["position"]);                

                            wait 0.05;

                                               

                    }                        

                }

            }                    

        }

        

        wait 0.05;

    }    

}

i dont know whats going on with this. i see no typos anywhere. aparently the is actually spelled teh, i dunno. im so confused and mad at the same time.

i have my rain.gsc, estate_attack.gsc estate_attack.bsp at this folder: Estate_Attack\Maps\mp

i have estate_attack.arena at this folder: Estate_Attack\mp

i have the victory things at this folder: Estate_Attack\gfx\hud

ppl say to copy/paste it all and it all works just fine for them. plz, any help would be greatly appreciated. i have been tryin to get this going for many hours now and nuthing has worked.

in the rain gsc, i see the line
level thread teh_rain();

also 5 lines below you refer to teh_rain()

is that a typo here or in your gsc? because in your main gsc you refer to level thread the_rain();

i was told those were supposed to be like that. also there like that in the tutorial. i will go thru and change them real fast. btw, does anyone know how to match fog colour to skybox colour? meaning, what numbers do i have to match. i am using brecourt for my sky texture.

http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-106.html

no that didnt help at all. i still get that stupid ***************bad syntax************* thing in my console. thats really making me mad. i have everything copy/pasted correctly. so now im gonna keep the file with "the_rain" and "teh_rain" and sumone tell me plz which one is right. or possibly just fix up the scripting for me and give me exactly what i need to copy paste for the rain to work. i will look over the script and see what is different.

(plz no random weather stuff or admin changable stuff)

yae fog works!!!! hoorah!! plz help with rain.

Scripting is all about being precise, MasterChief...

And about trying to understand what is happening in a script.
For instance

"for(ii=0;ii" ... that will give a bad syntax error...

This is the exact reason why you shouldn't just copy/paste a script, but type it out yourself.

My guess.. that line should read something like:

for(ii=0;ii < max_nodes_per_player;ii++) {

yes yes yes!!! thanks caretaker!! lol i was tryin to understand everything. just frusteration got to me i guess.

you saved my map!!!

thanks everyone who has helped me and put up with me!!! im just working on sum simple fog thickness. then i gotta create one of those loading screens i see so much. so give me a hour and it'll be up.

"so give me a hour and it'll be up."

Don't hurry to finish it, MasterChief... we'd rather wait another day or two and have it done good than having it done bad and fast.

oops. i went ahead and uploaded it because i thot the rain had sound. but that was a website i was at that i fergot to close. so, i have tried ambientPlay and the whole efx thing. i figured it was just as simple as adding in the sound for background but i cannot get it. i need to add the sound for the rain. any ideas/solutions?

The rain sound on Tuchola is simply a replacment for the Ambient sound track (there can only be one ambient sound running). Depending on what weather I pick for the round determines which AmbientPlay line gets executed.

I don't remember which ambient sound I used for rainy rounds, it's in the sound alias CSV file.
