Hi,

So i'm a new mapper, and i've been having some issues with fx. First i built my map, added my perks.. few rooms, doors and such, all is going good. I decide to add Harry's BO Perks in and boom i hit 1600 sound fx limit.. So i dug through the forums and found you could edit them out from root/raw/soundaliases/weapons.csv .. I am now under 1600, which is good.. but now im hitting 400 fx limit. I read through the 400 fx limit fix thread on here, and that still wont fix it. I threw these files in asset manager after altering them and it shows almost no fx.. but still im surpassing 400fx after adding harry's perks. Now mind you this is a fresh WaW install, simple map with just his perks.. what's going on here?

I get it im a noob mapper, don't point it out, i've read through hundreds of posts, and searched thoroughly for an answer to this and cannot seem to find it.

Those are not all the loaded csvs, your missing

nazi_zombie_breakout_patch.csv
mod.csv

it also will not include the assets loaded into my "custom" FF. You do not "have" a csv for that, its "already" compiled, csvs are used "to" compile

Its perfectly normal to hit these rather annoying limits right away tho. Treyarch left the entirety of Der rieses assets in the files that are generated when you create a map. So all the waw guns, all the FX hat were in those assets or the map, all the sounds from practically the whole game etc. By default, you should only have space for like 4 FX, and my pack contains 26 i think



go here

root/zone_source

and open

dlc3.csv

and comment out the waw guns that you do not need, as they are also loading FX. Also comment out any other FX you can find in that, or any of the other CSVs listed above

comment like so

// fx,FXNAME
// weapon,sp/WEAPONNAME

After you have done that you must "recompile your map" - once that is done, you need to also "build mod"

then give it a try

Okay by commenting out all the guns in that file my game no longer "crashes" with the 400 fx error, it now loads the mod, i can click start mission and then it kicks me out to the homescreen with 400 fx error, it doesn't crash my game like usual though.. Progress?

Also when i was copying your files over to my mod, which ff folder should i use? with quotes or without? i didn't fully understand that.. i did with quotes.

Oddly enough, you had a folder that says "400fx fix" so i copied those files over and changed all the names to fit my map, and when the mod launches my game crashes saying its out of memory? Odd. I for some reason just cannot get this, im so used to source mapping. :p

Id have edited my previous post if i could find that button.. i guess newbies cant edit. ._. well i figured out with your patch file it makes my game run out of memory.. but if i run the patch in the launcher it returns to giving me a 400fx error. Your patch file is 80mb compared to my 300kb.. Weird? Do i need your patch file for everything to work? If so why am i running out of memory..

Thanks

Until you have a 20 post count or higher there are some restrictions

# you cannot edit posts ( if you need something edited ask a mod )
# you cannot PM
# You are limited to 5 posts "per day"
# Your posts need to be approved by a moderator

after you hit 20 posts tho the full functionality will be unlocked.

Now for the other issues

Im a little confused b this, there were no files to "rename". You just needed to drop them in root/zone_source

???

Did you add my localised_MAPNAME "and" my custom patch? If so, you only need one or the other, ill try to explain



A mod, will only load 6 specific FF file names

yourmapname.ff
yourmapname_patch.ff
localised_yourmapname
load_yourmapname
common.ff
( I forget the other )

so a mod with nothing in it is already using

yourmapname.ff
yourmapname_patch.ff

the common one is treyarchs, we cant ( or rather - shouldnt ) edit it. And load is of no use either. Im not sure why but causes me issues, i think its supposed to be for stuff that needs loading "before" you start a match

so that only leaves :

localised_yourmapname


so I give one of these. But other people also use the same FF name for their stuff ( like the zombie models you can download here on UGX )

so if you are not using a localised_ already, you can just use mine, but i provided the patch incase you already had one

The patch contains very little, just some stuff for dogs, teleporters and a few other random bits, thats why its so small

So as a "alternative", we can also "add" to that FF ( cant for the others, but can for patch, because they are all identical )

So mine was bigger, because it has all the assets in it




Long story short, should only be using one FF or the other of mine. If your using both by mistake, your double loading everything in my pack, making you hit limits




if you need further help, im guessing your at your post limit. You can contact me on skype. Dont add me by name coz youll never find me lol, add me with - [email protected]

Thanks harry! I was able to figure it out, i guess i had double the fx loading

What i did for anyone out there with the same problem, i just wiped my WaW folder clean and my %appdata% folder.
1. Reinstalled game & reinstalled mod tools,
2. built my map
3. added harry's perks(mods, zone_source),
4. fixed 1600 sound limit by modifying the root/raw/soundaliases/weapons.csv,
5. then i used his 400fx fix files but when you launch the mod it will give you an error saying cannot find script ugx_modhelper,
6. you need to add this line at the top of dlc3.csv

// UGX Modder help
rawfile,maps/ugx_modder_help.gsc

The mod now loads up perfectly no errors! I have added all bo1 perks in and it runs smoothly. I appreciate all the help!

you only need that last part if you used the ugx patch for the last step of installing the mod tools
