Alright, i got some custom fx files, i put em in a folder, i name it fx, inside that, a subfolder called misc, inside that is my fx's. Heres what my gsc looks like:

Quote:

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

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

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

level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/pcd_torchfire.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (-112, 3920, -96), 0.6);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/pcd_torchfire.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (-112, 3664, -96), 0.7);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/pcd_torchfire.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (-112, 3408, -96), 0.6);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/pcd_torchfire.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (-112, 3178, -96), 0.6);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/pcd_torchfire.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (168, 3912, -96), 0.7);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/pcd_torchfire.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (168, 3664, -96), 0.6);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/pcd_torchfire.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (167, 3408, -96), 0.6);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/pcd_torchfire.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (168, 3174, -96), 0.7);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/fire/pcd_sparks.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (32, 3272, -16), 0.6);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/fire/pcd_sparks.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (32, 3472, -16), 0.6);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/fire/pcd_sparks.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (32, 3664, -16), 0.7);
level._effect["misc"] = loadfx ("fx/fire/pcd_sparks.efx");
maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("misc", (32, 3856, -16), 0.6);
}

In game, the sparks wont show up, and the torch fire is what all fx look like when you type \fxrestart, how can i fix my fx!?!?

you only need to load the effect once, then you can call it as often as you like. Each effect needs its own name. try this level._effect["torch"] = loadfx ("fx/misc/pcd_torchfire.efx"); maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("torch", (168, 3912, -96), 0.7); maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("torch", (168, 3664, -96), 0.6); level._effect["sparks"] = loadfx ("fx/fire/pcd_sparks.efx"); maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("sparks", (32, 3272, -16), 0.6); maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("sparks", (32, 3856, -16), 0.6);

well if you are using custom effects that you put into fx/misc/....why are you calling them out of fx/fire/? the most common reason to get the flameflower efx is because the efx file is erroneous OR the path is wrong...check your shader as well if this is a custom texture (which you said it was) @Shotgun is correct...you only need to call the effect once and repeat the placement

Would taking out the _ do anything Shotgun or stryder? Also, how would I go about making an efx file? What programs are needed? Thanks guys

taking the _ out would cause a crash.... the file you are loading is called _fx.gsc efx are just text only files that reference a shader if you are using custom effects....that you didnt make...or did make.... be sure to include a shader for the effect...especially if you reference one
