fxGrassReplicator TGE 1.4

I found several instances for fxGrassReplicator on the site but none pointed me out to a recent version. The zip file I downloaded contained instruction dated of 2002, so it quickly became evident it wasn't up to date with TGE 1.4.

I supposed some people would be interested in getting an updated version of the installation instructions, so here they are:

- install both .c and .h files in Torque SDK/engine/game/Fx folder.

- Put the function in /example/creator/editor/ObjectBuilderGui.gui [around line 462] ...

function ObjectBuilderGui::buildfxGrassReplicator(%this)

	{

		%this.className = "fxGrassReplicator";

		%this.process();

	}

- Put this in /example/creator/editor/EditorGui.cs in [function Creator::init( %this ) - line 1136]

%Environment_Item[12] = "fxGrassReplicator";

(or use the next number in the sequence [line 1246])


- Put this in /example/common/client/missionDownload.cs in [function clientCmdMissionStartPhase3(%seq,%missionName)] (around line 65)

after codeline 'onPhase2Complete();'.

StartGrassReplication();

- Put this in /engine/console/simBase.h (around line 1266) somewhere in the 'nameSpace Sim' block (put it as the last xxxxSet entry)

DeclareNamedSet(fxGrassSet)  <-- ADD THIS (Note no semi-colon).

- Put this in /engine/console/simBase.cc (around line 19) somewhere in the 'nameSpace Sim' block (put it as the last xxxxSet entry)

ImplementNamedSet(fxGrassSet)  <-- ADD THIS (Note no semi-colon).

- Put this in /engine/console/simManager.cc [function void init()] (around line 341) (put it as the last xxxSet entry)

InstantiateNamedSet(fxGrassSet);  <-- ADD THIS (Note the semi-colon).

I will provide a complete .zip file with all the original files as well as about 8 new grass textures to play with, within a day or two.

I'm very happy to have been able to do that, this is my very first look at Torque and my very first program compiling ever (even if it was only a little hack)!
Gonna pay myself a beer - 1 confidence point earned today. ;-)

Stephan, STef, viKKing, all the same.
