Hiya all.Im having trouble running a fx gsc.It errors no matter what i try....i couldnt really find too much on this topic and basicaly made the fx gsc from bits and peices i could find

here is the map gsc
main()
{
maps\mp\_load::main()
maps\mp\mp_sabes_du_mot_17_fx::main();

// set fog. density, red, green, blue, alpha
setExpFog(0.0001, 0.55, 0.6, 0.55, 0);

// set background ambient noise
ambientPlay("ambient_mp_sabes_du_mot_17");

// set nationalities of allies and axis
game["allies"] = "american"; // or british or russian
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["american_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");
}

and here is the fx gsc

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

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

}

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


}

could someone please tell me what im doing wrong...thx

when you make chanes to the gsc files, you do not need to compile the map. what i suggest you do is run the map. when it stops, it will give you an error that says script runtime error or compile error. see console for details. if you press the console button or just read the box that pops up if you launched it from the compiler, it will give you vital clues as to what is wrong. if you can't figure it out, post that error here so whe can help you. without that info, it could be anything.. so run the game again, get the error message poster here then we can talk

thx for your quick reply....here is what the error says:

******* script compile error *******
unknown function: (file 'maps/_gameskill.gsc', line 790)
setblur(blur, 0);
*
************************************
writing to: C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 2\servercache.dat
Error during initialization:
script compile error
(see console for details)

The script compile error seems to come from a mod file not your map - it is coming from _gameskill.gsc line 790 and some fucntion with that - try running your map without any mods.

There are no mods or custom maps in my folders at all....totaly clean

thx

******* script compile error *******
unknown function: (file 'maps/_gameskill.gsc', line 790)
setblur(blur, 0);
*
what is that. where do you have maps/_gameskill.gsc...if you opened it up, i am sure the line 790 would be setblur (blur,0);
I don't know what this is or how to fix it. that is a whole nother problem. if you do know, use the script compile error to narrow it down. change the line. what does the gameskill.gsc do? do you know?

go figure..........did a search for the file.....no such file found on my system.Im really stuck

The _gameskill.gsc is a stock singleplayer script that is being loaded because he forgot the "mp" part in his fx so the game thinks he is trying to load a singleplayer level. The part in red is what you need to add to fix this problem.

ok veef...thx for your reply,i did what u suggested ,it took care of the gameskill error and i thank you very much.But now its giving me this error

******* script runtime error *******
undefined is not an object: (file 'maps/mp/mp_sabes_du_mot_17.gsc', line 4)
maps\mp\mp_sabes_du_mot_17_fx::main();

started from:
(file 'maps/mp/mp_sabes_du_mot_17.gsc', line 1)
