Nevermind fixed it

Don't know if I speak for anyone else but it would be helpful when you solve it you can give a brief summary of what you did to fix it.

Cheers!

This gsc file set up will get the lightning and rain to work, you would have to change my map name and the x/y/z coordinates to what you want. And also ignore the code referring to smoke.

This set will make the effects work but you will still be missing the "elm_thunder_strike, elm_thunder_distant" soundFX.

I still havn't been able to get them to work, I tried adding a folder "raw\sound\amb_elements" with all the thunder sounds in it, the creationg my own maps csv in the raw/soundaliass folder.

I treid 2 sets of code

and replacing the line "element,,,,0.5,mp_farm mp_cargoship mp_mhz_cem_b"

with

element,,,,0.5,allmp

But still havnt been able to get it work So Iused the ambient_farm for the map as it has rain, and thunder in the background.

Not sure exactly where the problem is with what you posted. I think it may have to do with the modified sound alias csv. Check page 4 of this post http://www.modsonline.com/Forums-top-75588.html and if that doesnt work, contact me by PM here or on xfire, username firemanpaul. I can send you the csv file and help you through the rest.

Having this thunder working makes a BIG difference in the impact of the fx
