Hello all. i looked at the tut. for the fire and i maked the trigger hurt, and the light, but i dont know exactly how to make the flame and the smoke.
I making hard with scripting, so as i understanded i must put the coordinades at the numbers, at the position where the fire should be. So i thinked that i must open an pk3 file, to find the smoke and fire fx. and i dont know how i should open it.
And another problem is the planes, i puted the plane script inside an .gsc but if i try the map the planes still there without movement.
Thanx and sorry for bothering with easy things.

Hello,

When you have made a litlle area for the fire with the light and the trigger. You are finished with the map for that part ofcourse. The next thing you have to do to make a fire is creating a gsc file. You must enter the coordinates in the gsc file. The script is something like this:

main()
{
level._effect["fire"] = loadfx ("fx/fire/tinybon.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("fire", (555, -435, 315), 0.6);
level._effect["smoke"] = loadfx ("fx/smoke/ash_smoke.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("smoke", (555, -435, 370), 0.7);
maps\mp\_load::main();
}

555,-435,315 are the coordinates. Just look in radiant for the exact location and just change this. When you put this short script in your gsc file, it shoot work.

You have different kinds of fireannimations or fx. You can find that in pak5.pk3 Just exctract with winrar or something like that and than you can see al the fx. Just change the fx name in the script and you have another kind of fire. For example you can chose for a medium fire. Than the script is like this:

main()
{
level._effect["fire"] = loadfx ("fx/fire/medfire.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("fire", (555, -435, 315), 0.6);
level._effect["smoke"] = loadfx ("fx/smoke/ash_smoke.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("smoke", (555, -435, 370), 0.7);
maps\mp\_load::main();
}

If you can see i change the name. You can do the same for the smoke.

I hope that i helped you. Just ask if you still dont know how to do it.

Greats and succes

Hello again. I tryed too make it as u said but there is no fire.
If i need to exctract, how should I, with WinRAR?
Thank You

Hello,

You can use winrar to extract pk3 files or to make Pk3 files.
To create a gsc file or change a gsc file you just need a texteditor.

For your map you need some things. Your map (yourmap.bsp) ofcourse and a gsc file. Without those two things your map won't work.

To create a gscfile, you can use a texteditor. Just save the file and than you have to change the extension to gsc.
So you have "yourmap.txt" just change it to "yourmap.gsc"

I use different gsc files. The main gsc file that called like your map name: "yourmap.gsc" Then i have another gsc file that calls "fire.gsc"

The main gsc file looks something like this:

main()
{
setCullFog (0, 8000, 0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0);
ambientPlay("ambient_mp_railyard");

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


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

game["russian_soldiertype"] = "airborne";
game["russian_soldiervariation"] = "normal";
game["german_soldiertype"] = "fallschirmjagercamo";
game["german_soldiervariation"] = "normal";

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

game["layoutimage"] = "mp_railyard";

}

If you look to the fifth line you see this: "maps\mp\fire::main();"
This little line tells the game to load the gsc file "fire".

Now for the "fire.gsc" it looks like this:

main()
{
level._effect["fire"] = loadfx ("fx/fire/tinybon.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("fire", (555, -435, 315), 0.6);
level._effect["smoke"] = loadfx ("fx/smoke/ash_smoke.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("smoke", (555, -435, 370), 0.7);
maps\mp\_load::main();
}

Now you have your two gsc files, you have to put them in the right folder.

make a folder in main that calls map. In this folder you make another folder that calls mp.

Put your bsp file with your two gsc files in main/maps/mp

The best way, i think is to make a pk3
You can make a pk3 with winrar.
For that there excist a tutorial i think.

there is a good program for looking at pk3s. it is called PakScape, you can also make pk3s from it too. it is good when it comes to getting models or looking for fx.

Winrar owns all! Pakscape does the same job, I prefer winrar though.

Thanx PPL, i did it, my stukas fly, and fire works.
Thanx againnnnnnn!

well the only problem with winrar is YOU GOT TO PAY FOR IT.

Get your facts straight before posting...

Winrar is shareware, when you download it and install, it will give you a 40 day trial, after that, it asks you to register.

But you dont have to register, it still functions after the 40 days.

**SOAPBOX MODE ON** *RANT WARNING*

Get YOUR facts straight, shareware is NOT freeware. Just because it works after the trial period, doesn't mean you should keep using it with a clear conscience. You are using a tool that required many hours of development by people you dont even know, and by continuing to use it without paying, it's the same as taking anything without paying for it. That's called stealing in my book. Use pakscape if it's free, and pay for WinRAR if you like it so much. If WinRAR is not worth your hard earned $ to support the people who worked on it, then maybe it isn't as great as you say. It doesnt cost that much anyway, only $29 for a single user copy. And it is a fine German product, fits right in with the whole COD thing.
