You need to read. In my first post I tell you why you get that error.

The fact that a "representative" of Treyarch is putting this crap up on the official Treyarch Wiki without testing it first just beggers belief.

I tried dumping the assignment and got the same results. to be sure you are removing the "myEffect = " from the line "myEffect = playLoopedFx(level._effect["

wich I did and like I said same results

I also get this error in my console: "Could not open '../zone_source/localized_mp_fin.csv"

CSV file errors have nothing to do with FX.

As for the FX error, why not use my method? Everyone else is.

Or, just use the clientside FX which works perfectly well.

that link is for SP maps right? Im doing MP or does that work for both?

What gave you the impression it was for SP? The example map used is mp_airfield.

I would suggest anybody who's having issues with FX to review Tallys method properly as not only does it work it's quicker than other methods and very very simple.

ok m8 we followed Tallys tut and his way dont work either. three mappers spent the evening on teamspeak and between the three of us. MOL tut didnt work wiki tut doesnt work either.

I can give you the IP to our TS if you or someone would like to come in and help us get this going. we have been doing cod mapping cod1,2,4 so we are not noobs in anyway. we even have a couple completed zombie maps with fx. the mp fx side is really messed up.
here is our TS IP and password one of us mappers is in team speak from afternoon to evening.

Erm, please be careful with your wording. Dont say "Tally's tut doesnt work", because clearly it does. Everyone is using it to good effect, and the picture taken from my tut from mp_airfield clearly shows it does.

What you should be saying is "we cant get none of these tuts to work".

Make sure you precache the FX, and my code will do the rest.
