Hi,
i followed the sp snow tutorial, but when i test my map, i don't see snow, i really don't know whats wrong

here you have my gsc and my _fx.gsc
snow.gsc

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_anim;


#using_animtree("generic_human");


main()
{
        maps\_load::main();
	maps\snow_fx::main();

	// makes ai do cool stuff
	setEnvironment ("cold");
}

snow_fx.gsc

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

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

playerEffect()
{
	player = getent("player","classname");
	for (;;)
	{
		playfx ( level._effect["snow_light"], player.origin + (0,0,300), player.origin + (0,0,350) );
		wait (0.75);
	}
}

i hope someone can help

I don't if the scripts are wrong or not, but if they are right and don't show could be because the snow effect only appear if you have dx9.(someone correct me if im wrong).

I'm no expert in these matters but, I took a quick glance at your scripts and there are couple of extra spaces and close parenthesis there. Might want to double check them for proper spacings and such? Did you see any compile errors?
"fx/misc/cold_breath.efx" );
}

playerEffect()
{
player = getent("player","classname");
for (;;)
{
playfx ( level._effect["snow_light"], player.origin + (0,0,300), player.origin + (0,0,350) );
wait (0.75);
}
}

The spacings in the script dont matter, they ignored by the game. It might not be working because you need dx9 or it could be the effect. The effect might also be spawing too high?

problem solved
i was playing with direct x 7, i always do, because direct x 9 slow down my pc
but you have to play on direct x9 to see snow, didn't know that
thx anyway
