weird texture smoke and smoke trails on mod map [Solved]

Post by wsa30h »

does anyone know how to fix the weird black smoke on geonosis spire I converted geonosis spire from the first game but when I roll around as a droideka or look up at the techno union hull the smoke coming of it has a weird texture sort of like black boxes surrounding the smoke.

Make sure you have all the textures that the map's and the Techno Union's smoke .fx files call for.

You can get those textures from the SWBF1 mod tools. You can also change the names of the missing textures referenced in the .fx files to the names of the textures used by SWBF2. Some textures in SWBF1 are the same as the ones in SWBF2 but just with a different name.

It can be done. Geonosis: Spire has been converted before, and assets from it have been used individually. What were you doing to get it to work?

Just replace smoke_billow.fx, underlitesmoke2.tga, and walkerstomp.fx in ***\effects with the ones from BF2_ModTools\assets\worlds\GEO\effects.
