More issues with rain.eff and others added

by Rick Oldani · in Torque Game Builder · 08/04/2009 (11:14 am) · 3 replies

I just purchased TGB and went through the process of adding the missing particle effect images and updated the .cs file. I now see the animated rain effect when I add it to the scene. It does not show up, however, when I run the scene. Was I supposed to do something else with the images or teh .cs file. (It appears all the added effects are doing the same thing.)

I have exactly the same issue...

(I have a macbook pro 15" running MacOSX 10.5.7)

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

Are you adding them as .eff's or are you creating new effects?

Actually, I read the article "Torque Game Builder – Mounting Tutorial" and it gives a link to additional images & particles (http://docs.garagegames.com/tgb/official/content/documentation/Tutorials/Feature/newParticles.zip). I just copied the images into the "TutorialBase/resources/starterArt/" folder and overwrote the resourceDatabase.cs there with the one included in the zip file.

In the editor, I could see the new images and particles. I could add them to the scene and I had the cloud with the rain particles mounted to it. But when I launch the game, the cloud is there but the rain is not. I tried changing the settings for the rain effect and it worked some times when I set a working image (like the cloud one) as an image for the rain (raining particles of clouds looks weird btw...)

Actually it is no big deal since I have no issue when I create a new project and add images/effects via the editor. I was just wondering what did I do wrong ? :)
