Creating Storms Tutorial in 3D Game Programming All-In-1

by Alex Riggen · in General Discussion · 02/02/2009 (12:40 pm) · 1 replies

I just completed the Storms tutorial in the 3D Game Programming book but when I run the game I don't see any effect. I've checked all my scripts and files that the book had be type and modify and everything is perfect. The error I get in the console is:

Executing control/data/maps/book_ch6.mis.
Object 'HeavyRain' is not a member of the 'GameBaseData' data block class
control/data/maps/book_ch6.mis (0): Register object failed for object RainStorm of class Precipitation.
Object 'LightningStorm' is not a member of the 'GameBaseData' data block class
control/data/maps/book_ch6.mis (0): Register object failed for object ElectricalStorm of class Lightning.

Has anyone else had this problem or know the solution to it?

Thanks
Alex

I got it working, by adding it to environment.cs and then adding exec("~/server/scripts/fx/environment.cs"); to my server game.cs file ... near the top.

The key is it needs to be loaded -- before the level, so the server knows about the datablock.

It can be confusing with all the places stuff has to be loaded ...
