When I add that particle to my testmap, it works fine. |
 |
By "Old Habits 1" are you referring to the original map? |
|
|
Yes. |
|
|
There's a particles/tdm_water.prt included in the mission pk4. It doesn't include a definition for recyc_pipedrip10. Does the existence of this file overwrite the one included in darkmod/particles? |
|
|
Ah, I'm not sure but that's something I didn't notice. I'll have a look. |
|
|
Nope, nothing in the pk4 that would impact those particle, as far as I can see. |
|
|
No, what I mean is that does the engine think the existence of tdm_water.prt in the pk4 means it won't use the tdm_water.prt that's in darkmod/particles. |
|
|
In support of that theory, I extracted the pk4 to fms/mc, renamed the pk4 so it would be ignored, then deleted fms/mc/particles/tdm_water.prt. The mission started fine, and the water drops showed up instead of the black squares. I suspect that the engine finds fms/mc/particles/tdm_water.prt and decides not to use anything from darkmod/particles/tdm_water.prt. |

Am I looking at the wrong Old Habits? I see only one file in the particles folder: "tdm_fire_white.prt" I've got both Old Habits and Old Habits II in my New Mission menu, but I can only find an "Oldhabits" folder in my fm folder. |
|
|
I'm using the one you get from the TDM download screen when you ask for it. It's version 1, which is the one this issue is filed against. That one has 7 files in the particles folder. |

Oh, of course, the original is called mc.pk4. How did I miss that...? And you're right, the problem is the duplicated .prt file. |
|
|
"Oh, of course, the original is called mc.pk4. How did I miss that...?" My pet peeve, poorly named mission files. |
|
|
Ok, this can be makred resolved, as Obs is aware of it. |
