Hey all,

I'm trying to use the retail FS2 effect "Akheton_Particle" as the impact effect for a custom primary weapon. The effect is properly specified in the wep.tbm. When I start the mod, I get this:

Code: [Select]

For 'Akheton_Particle', 3 of 4 LODs are missing!

Here's the line (plus the explosion radius) in my wep.tbm:

Code: [Select]

$Impact Explosion: Akheton_Particle
$Impact Explosion Radius: 2.2
If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

You're looking in the wrong place

Weapon explosion effects are defined in weapon_expl.tbl or a -wxp.tbm. That's what you need to check and, if necessary, correct.

But this is a retail effect, referencing a retail table. Wouldn't that mean that the default FS2 tables are in error?

Doesn't matter. If you're using an all-new weapon you need the proper lines for the table entry.

I made up a wxp.tbm with the proper entry - and just one LOD - and it worked, no error message! Thanks!
