FXgrassreplicator

by arteria3d · in Torque Game Engine · 11/18/2004 (10:05 am) · 9 replies

Hi,

I have just done all the alterations to allow me to use the FXGrass replicator. However when i compile i get this error. The docs were not specific as to where i put the two files that came with the docs - i simply put them in VC6 engine, and included them - they seem to work fine - but as i say i get this error

Anyone know why??

Thanks

    Eh, Stevie.

    What error you talking about? Its no use saying you have an error and not showing us the error. How can we tell you how to fix it if we dont have the error? Its like telling a mechanic that your car does not work, and your not going to let him see the car, but can he fix it???

    FXGrass goes in Games/fx (At least there is where it is in mine). A little hint, look at the include of the cpp file for the fxgrass header. Put them in the same place as where the include is looking for them.

    Edit: Added the above hint.

    C:\Torque\SDK\vc6\fxGrassReplicator.cc(29) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'twSurfaceReference.h': No such file or directory

    If I remember that resource it says it is using the twSurfaceReference resource. (I could be wrong.)

    Anyway, do a search of the resources for twSurfaceReference and you will find a resource you need to add.

    Nothing? Or it added a node but you didn't see anything because there is no media file specificed ?

    Add an fxgrass, save the mission, open it in a text editor and add a grass file...

    Seed = "1242312589";
    > GrassFile = "~/data/grass/grass";
    GrassCount = "1450";

    You can also edit this via the inspector window, but the address of the media file is a bit different there.

    Add it manually via the .mis file and you should be fine. The latest FXGrass doesn't work with the WorldEditor Creator onAdd as far as I know. DISREGARD

    @Stefan... works fine here, except for the media file... fxGrass v1.5 right?

    I was talking about 1.5, yeah. But, I'm probably incorrect - if it works for you. I'll edit my post, thanks. :)
