Could be some bad mumbo jumbo <-technical term in those files, create new files and put this in them.

main()
{
	maps\mp\mp_sabes_du_mot_17_fx::main();
        maps\mp\_load::main();
        
	// set background ambient noise
	ambientPlay("ambient_mp_sabes_du_mot_17");
	
	// set fog. density, red, green, blue, alpha
	setExpFog(0.0001, 0.55, 0.6, 0.55, 0);

	// set nationalities of allies and axis
	game["allies"] = "american";
	game["axis"] = "german";

	// set who does what in SD	
	game["attackers"] = "allies";
	game["defenders"] = "axis";

	/* set the way allies and axis look
	   possible values are:
	   for american: normandy
	   for british: normandy, africa
	   for russian: coats, padded
	   for german: normandy, africa, winterlight, winterdark
	*/		
	game["russian_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
	game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";

	// set up bloom and sky bleeding effects
	setCvar("r_glowbloomintensity0", ".25");
	setCvar("r_glowbloomintensity1", ".25");
	setcvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3");

main()
{
	precacheFX();
	spawnWorldFX();
}

precacheFX()
{
	level._effect["glow_latern"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/glow_latern.efx");
}

spawnWorldFX()
{
	//fire
	maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("glow_latern", (5136.0, -643.0, 204), 1);
}

it is basically saying that the game cannot find the fx file specified...

double check your naming convention ie...just rename your _fx.gsc to something simple and change it in the main gsc as well...

mymap_fx seems to work well for testing (until you release)

I got it working..to a point....i forgot the ; after main() in the gsc.
I can get into the game now....but at the location on the latern....instead of the latern_glow......its show a red borderd square that is looping saying missing fx

any ideas?

sorry guys...really need to figure this out......bump

You are missing the fx because you used to "misc" directory instead of the "props" directory. Here is the corrected line note the part in red.

and dont bump your posts

if it is stale by a day or 2 then it isnt minded - to a point...but not even 2 hours cold is rediculous

Thank you very much veef...its working.

as for rediculous....hmmmmm.....i think ill just leave that one alone.

Again....thank you very much veef.

precacheFX()
{
level._effect["glow_latern"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/glow_latern.efx");

This should read props not misc.

i have been here a long time, and seen alot of things

everything is ALWAYS an emergency...learn some patience or radiant will drag you down.

spamming the forums and/or bumping your post has and always will be frowned upon. no-one here is on for pay, and we all (except maybe you) have real jobs that occupy a big chunk of our day. and then, in our spare time we try and help this community prosper...so ya...

the 'rediculous' comment is justified

Well yes it was important to me.As for patience well if i seemed impatient i didnt mean to.As for spamming forums.......well i dont think i do that ....what with all 41 of my posts in almost 2 years.As for a job.....yeah i have one....own a business actually......i to work alot of hrs like alot of people(except maybe you) and it does take alot of my day.Maybe that would explain the impatience.
