Ahh ahh ah h ahah h ha aha red rum red rum red rum red rum

I still cannot get steam this is madness i say.

I have done the folling

*copied the effects/filename correctly
*tried with and without the efx extension
*tried in a lit room and obviously my map being a dark map
*i extracted the effects files to my base directory and did all the same again

none of this worked it is sheer madness i say. Red rum Red rum

Her is a couple of the many connotations i tried.

key: fxFile
value: GameData/base/effects/spark.efx

key: fxFile
value: GameData/base/effects/spark

key: fxFile
value: GameData/base/effects/large_steam.efx

key: fxFile
value: GameData/base/effects/large_steam

Now all of these filenames are correct because i checked them and i use a capital F for file in the fxFile name. I even used startoff on some and not on others.

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYY

Help me before i slay somebody with my Tachi blade.

You don't use the GameData/base/, just the effects/ and whatever after. It's supposed to be an fx_runner, so it'll know that it's in the effects. Hope that helps.

Yeah i know that is what i started doing but it never worked so i tried using the full location.

Your fx_runner has got to be directed at an info_notnull.

Not true, entirely. Sparks will work fine if not directed, they just fall to the ground. Steam should just raise up without a target. It won't look correct but it will work.

What fresh hell is this??? what is this "info_notnull" you speak of???? How do i correctly implement it.

Bugger i had this hilarious name i was gonna show you all i wrote it down wheni had to open the account for the guy but i must have chucked it thinking it was scrap. I am not kidding his name was like "wjahajhdjd shanahdndhanfhf", not as random as that but certainly as long and silly.

Emon is right you don't "need" an info_notnull. It's used to direct your fx in the direction you want. Have you done any basic tutorials? The only cause I can think of is that your Radiant is f***ed or maybe your assets0.pk3 is corrupt. I don't know man, I'm just guessing so don't freak out if my advice doesn't work. It's a strange problem. I'm puzzled.

well that is just skippy then pah.
