Lexx's Nuclear Weapon Effects

[+Spillone104 553]

Sorry if I bother with another Nuke discussion.

But after trying for many hours to convert Lexx Nuclear Weapon Effects into SF2 environment I still have not found how to make them work.

Just to be clear I've read the famous "Modders Bible" known as KB and added the needed shaders for the materials. Plus edited the missileobject.ini and added the needed lines.

 

So.... Is there someone that have succeded in converting these effects or that can explain what to do in the specific.

 

Thanks.

What are you seeing or not seeing? Some SF2 players here have told me it works in SF2, and I've seen screenshots. Don't know about the current EXP2 level game though.

 

How long ago did you download it? Some months back I updated the nuc download (and some others) to include two tga files that I didn't include earlier. The two files, years back, were included in the most popular weapon pack, but that changed.

 

Keep in touch. I really ought to get SF2 just so I can update some of my stuff. I *finally* got a really good video card and if I had to do things over, I'd do things different and better. I used ATI-9200 up until early this year. That's sad.

...up until early last year. I got a 4850 in spring 2010.

 

I only have SF1 now, but I can offer moral support. :good:

 

I need to know what you see wrong, or don't see at all.

Hi Lexx,

Well, my SF2 install is up to Exp.2 and the problem is that I don't see anything at all. I've downloaded the pack just 3 days ago just to be sure, and double checked that I have all the needed .TGAs for the materials.

The shaders I use are:

EffectShaderName=effectFire.fx for Pulse, SkyGlow and FireBall material.

EffectShaderName=effectLightLevel.fx for Steam and Cloud material.

You will need to add the necessary effect to each weapon's data.ini as well. IE change "nukeexlosioneffects" to "mt003effects" in case you haven't done so.

Sure, done that.

Well, after some testing I can assure that is not an effect problem but somehow the game seems to refuse to use the new data in the MISSILEOBJECT.INI

 

For exhample:

This work

[LargeMissileEffects]

GroundHitEffectName=LKT003

GroundHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

WaterHitEffectName=LKT003

WaterHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

ObjectHitEffectName=LKT003

ObjectHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

ArmorHitEffectName=LKT003

ArmorHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

CraterModelName=

CraterType=2

 

And this not:

[LKT003Effects]

GroundHitEffectName=LKT003

GroundHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

WaterHitEffectName=LKT003

WaterHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

ObjectHitEffectName=LKT003

ObjectHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

ArmorHitEffectName=LKT003

ArmorHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

CraterModelName=

 

 

Any idea?

The problem was solved by GwynO and Gunny check out this thread lexx nukes I have really been wanting to get The lexx nukes working but i have been so busy i have not even had time to fly let alone play with the effect settings , so if you get this working could you do us all a favor and upload the settings? Thanks .

Thanks Icarus.

 

Indeed as written by GwynO the solution is quite simple.

Edit your weapondata.ini of individual weapon and in case you use Weaponeditor add the effects lines after saved with the program.

 

[WeaponData001]

bla, bla, bla....

 

[LKT003Effects]

GroundHitEffectName=LKT003

GroundHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

WaterHitEffectName=LKT003

WaterHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

ObjectHitEffectName=LKT003

ObjectHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

ArmorHitEffectName=LKT003

ArmorHitSoundName=Nuclear.wav

CraterModelName=

 

This way it will work fine with every thirdy party effects.

[MT030Effect]

changed lexxes effect ini name to MT030Effect and updated it inside:

Interesting. I recall wondering if spelling out "Effect" was needed, but apparently it was not required when I did this years ago, but seemed more of a modding convention -- way of doing things. Have you edited all possible combinations of using or not spelling out "Effect" ?

 

Did all this stuff work before EXP2?
