Title: 3 of 4 LODs are missing!
Post by: HLD_Prophecy on October 17, 2016, 07:39:51 am: 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! ntdll.dll! NtWaitForSingleObject + 21 bytes kernel32.dll! WaitForSingleObjectEx + 67 bytes kernel32.dll!

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!

Weapon explosion effects are defined in weapon_expl.tbl (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/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?

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