rain and fog for MP1 SoA

[NightFright]

Well, what's weird is that the ent files for the original ID1 episodes work just fine, and they use the same "RAIN_THINK" stuff...

@NightFright:
You need Sevens SMC MP1 Add-On!

[talisa]

hmm... did you also install the versions of the small mod compilation for the mission packs and put them in the folders from the MPs?
cuz you need to have installed the special smc addons for the mission packs too, otherwise it wont work


or maybe you got a mod or add-on in your hipnotic folder which uses a progs.dat?


@webangel
seems we had the same thought

[NightFright]

Ouch, that one hurt! ^^
Indeed, after adding "progs.dat" from Seven's MP1 mod compilation, error message is gone. Thx a lot, now I will check out some serious rain!

[talisa]

glad we could help solve your problem

hope you like the rain .ent files i made for SoA episode 1 and 2

Great work so far splitterface!!
Thanks!

[talisa]

thanx for the compliment, glad you like them

and you're welcome for making them, its fun to do and it feels good to contribute to the community


pondering wether to first add flying ash for HIP2M3 or making episode 3 first...
think ill try adding flying ash to hip2m3 first, so we got episode2 complete too.

although that might take a bit, since ill have to figure out how to add flying ash there at the strange-shaped lave-part at start without using tons of blocks cuz that way the flying ash effect would get way to intense. but im sure that once i figure it out itll be quickly done

and then i can move on to episode 3, which will be the last

Thank you splitterface for making this !

I know it can be quite frustating sometimes, when the geometry is not "squary".

Regarding your issue with lava in your mentioned map.
I didnt look into that map, so I dont know its geometry.
Just an idea, that popped into my mind:
If you start the snow from below the lava surface and macke the cube bigger than the lava itself, so that it covers also floor areas without lava.
Will then the mesh of the floor without lava stop the snow particles from going through ?
I dont know. Just test it.
Maybe it helps and you can cover a bigger complicated area with one big cube.

I have doubts that it works, but try it and we will see.

Best wishes,
Seven

None of those files work. It causes me crash. I can post screenshots if needed. What's wrong?

[talisa]

@ironwarfare
hmm... do you have seven's small mod compilation installed, and sevens smc for MP1 as well?

cuz those are needed for the rain to work, if you dont have those the rain wont work


if you dont, you can get it here: http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-mod...mpilation.html
make sure you also have the version for MP1 installed into your hipnotic folder

[IronWarfare]

Now it works! Thanks a lot for help! I've accidentally put that file in another folder! Finally I can enjoy these effects

[talisa]

lol welcome. glad i could help

hope you like the rain i made for scourge of armagon episode 1 & 2
let me know what you think of them

A potential leak in HIP2M2:
Right after you leave the entrance area and come to the first hallway (with the stairs leading to the blue key door), flying ash is coming out of the floor, but there is no lava.

I've taken a brief look to episode 1 of SoA and rain fits perfectly! Do you plan to add also fog in the future? In castle and mines maps it will look great

hmm lemme check... ah yes i see it... thats weird, theres no ash supposed to be there...

ah, ive found it... made a typo in the coordinates for where the ash should be. accidentially put 612 instead of -612 *facepalms*

thanx, fixed it right away. updated the link in first post of thread with the fixed version
