cant seem to get this working? ERROR: 70 missing entries in effect CSV files (see console for details) failed loading 'mark2' of type 'impactfx' found in source file '../zone_source/Encampment.csv'
Ive tried naming everything same as mod folder, tried different CSV name, but that error happens, all the fx are in place.

??? There's nothing in my stuff named 'mark2' are you sure you're adding the right line's.. Using the right folder\path's etc..

That was from when I tried renaming the CSV, with exact names like the tut, same error happens except with my mapname

i tried replicating the error by entering wrong folder-paths or wrong fx-name's etc but i cant get the error to show over here.. Could you post the impact-fx .csv you're using?

Post by: Harry Bo21 on September 08, 2015, 05:22:00 pm
ive been through it with him again today, i really cant see whats wrong. Everything seems to be in the right place
the only thing i could muster up, is the capital letter, "E"ncampment - but i really doubt thats it
Title: Re: RayGun MK2 impact FX + Tutorial to overwrite bullet-impact fx.
Post by: ProRevenge on September 08, 2015, 05:38:14 pm
Well that capital is in my .map file name, my mod folder name and all my script names without issue, unsure if it will mess anything up here.

euhm, not sure tbh. I cant get that error to show up no matter how much i fuck up..
I dont really think this would fix it, but might be worth a try. The header of the Original file says this:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
# This file maps impact types to effects "# It can be overridden in part by just specifying some effects in a CSV file in the ""fx"" folder that has a later name alphabetically" "# It has the simple syntax that the first column is the impact type, the second is the surface type, and the thrid is the effect name"
and the name of the Original file is iw_impacts, so you might want to rename it to something starting with a letter that come's later in the alphabet. I doubt that would fix it, but it's the only thing i can find so far that's 'not right'

Post by: ProRevenge on September 08, 2015, 06:29:06 pm
Alright, I replaced the CSV text inside the original iw_impacts, to your mark 2 stuff, (have it backed up) And in game, it STILL plays tank shell and bullet AP fx.
Harry wrote a small script to simply play and fx too, and I set it up with mark 2 fx, and it plays tank shell fx, like wtf? The fx are refusing to update at all, and they themselves seem to be overwritten by tank shell fx

Added the thing in .csv? :P

Overwrote the original, already called impact CSV stuff, as custom ones were refusing to work Still says 35 missing entries in CSV cannot find file of type impactfx,iw_impacts in zone_source/mod.csv
Really bugging me now, why is this not working, there is NO reason for it not to
Title: Re: RayGun MK2 impact FX + Tutorial to overwrite bullet-impact fx.
Post by: HitmanVere on September 08, 2015, 06:35:35 pm
Usually, when overwriting originals, you still need to call it. Otherwise it calls it from other place
Called it, see above (I edited the post)
Also worth adding, The tank FX are deleted. I removed them ages ago, yet they are still in game and overwriting mark 2? The weapon/tank folder is honestly empty, where is waw getting the FX??

Alright, I can confirm the fx are fine themselves, it seems to be any changes I make to the CSV do not take effect, I ended up changing the iw_impacts CSV, and it looks like this:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
# This file maps impact types to effects "# It can be overridden in part by just specifying some effects in a CSV file in the ""fx"" folder that has a later name alphabetically" "# It has the simple syntax that the first column is the impact type, the second is the surface type, and the thrid is the effect name" "# The impact type is one of: bullet_small_normal, bullet_small_exit, bullet_large_normal, bullet_large_exit, grenade_bounce, and grenade_explode" "# The surface type is one of the valid surface impact types for the surfaceparm shader command, or ""default"". Default is only used if the code cannot figure out the correct surface type" "# The effect name should be a relative path starting after the ""fx"" folder in the game tree. It should not include the "".efx"" extension." "# The effect name may be left blank, in which case no effect is played for this impact." "# If any impact effect has no row entry in any file, the game will not load any maps. The console lists which surface types had no entries." "# These effects usually should not specify sounds, since a corresponding sound alias will be played at the same time as the effect" "# For bullet hits, two effects are played, either or both of which may be blank:" "# The ""normal"" effect is played at the impact point facing the surface normal. This should usually be used for decals." "# The ""exit"" effect is played at the exit point when buller penetration is on."
"# flesh_head_nonfatal, flesh_body_fatal, flesh_head_nonfatal, and flesh_head_fatal specify specific effects to play when bullets injure flesh" # these are used ONLY FOR BULLETS "# If not specified, or if left blank, these will inherit whatever is in 'flesh' for the impacttype"
If I cant get this working, ill have to give up, I still have the improved fx to use.
I hate to be "that guy" who cant get it to work, but im glad this is finally out so we can see better Mark 2s in maps, and I can still make use of the much better FX :)

That make's no sense since it should not have any effect on FX you play from a script. It should only have effect on bullet-impacts anyway... I'm really not sure whats wrong.
Is there anybody else that has tried this, and did it work out?

When you did this for me, yes it worked
we called it "nazi_zombie_soul"

# These tank_shell effects are for the tesla gun. # bullet_small effects are for MKII ammunition
but we did have a ton of trouble, and it seemingly "fixed itself" eventually, and has never been a problem since

Add the line:

impactfx,FILENAME
to your zone_source\mapname.csv, NOT to your mod.csv. Then recompile everything, not just your MOD

I ended up adding the impact fx as a death fx to the muzzleflash, and they work fine :D But if I spray, the muzzleflash stops working as there are "too many" fx at once it seems, is there a way to stop this, or to make it delete existing impacts rather than killing my muzzleflashes?

Dont think so, only thing you can do is edit the FX in effectsED so it's using less FX-elements to prevent it from happening. Also depends on how many other FX are allready playing i guess..

I have fixed the FX! I found the cause of why my CSV wasn't updating!!
In common.csv, near the bottom, impactfx,void was written, I changed this to the impactfx CSV im using, and it all works fine!
so if anyone is having trouble with it not working, remove that line in common.csv or change it to your impactfx CSV
