 Need help with defining Muzzle Flash Hi, forum!
I'm new to modding and I don't know much. And like all new modders, I have a problem. The problem is that B23 crashes whenever I try to load a copied MDC digger (again, still new at modding and figuring out how to make things) and it says that it is
"Referring to an instance ('PlasmaGlowSmall') [Which is in the MDC Effects folder] to copy from hasn't been defined! This error is at line 145 and about 3/4 down the page.
If possible, please help and try to remedy this. Thanks!

Re: Need help with defining Muzzle Flash I'm assuming "PlasmaGlowSmall" is an image file? Muzzle flashes are objects in CC, and require code as well as an image file (or multiple images) to function. Example code: Code: AddEffect = Attachable
PresetName = Muzzle Flash Pistol
Mass = 0.0001
HitsMOs = 0
GetsHitByMOs = 0
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Pyro/MuzzleFlash02.bmp
FrameCount = 3
SpriteOffset = Vector
X = -2
Y = -6
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Air
Resolution = 2
Depth = 100
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Air
Resolution = 3
Depth = 100
DeepCheck = 0
JointStrength = 10000
JointStiffness = 1
ScreenEffect = ContentFile
FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Glows/YellowSmall.bmp
DrawAfterParent = 0

Re: Need help with defining Muzzle Flash Ah, thanks so much! Pretty sure I understand now.Actually, I do not. When I looked at any other digger, even other weapons, the code you gave me did not seem to be anywhere. Could it be in a separate file, maybe? Like I said, I really don't know much about modding.

Re: Need help with defining Muzzle Flash It's in Base.rte/Effects/Pyro/Pyro.ini.

Re: Need help with defining Muzzle Flash What I've done so far: Reverted the Muzzle Flash Copy to the default: Digger Muzzle Flash Code: Flash = Attachable
CopyOf = Digger Muzzle Flash
Copied the Effects folder from MDC over to my mod's folder, and added the file to the index I still get the problem, and I honestly have no idea what to do.

Re: Need help with defining Muzzle Flash Yes. It's in the Effects.ini file I put in my mod's folder. Code: AddEffect = Attachable
PresetName = Digger Muzzle Flash
HitsMOs = 0
GetsHitByMOs = 0
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Base.rte/Null.bmp
FrameCount = 1
SpriteOffset = Vector
X = -1
Y = -1
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Air
Resolution = 2
Depth = 100
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Air
Resolution = 3
Depth = 100
DeepCheck = 0
JointStrength = 10000
JointStiffness = 1
ScreenEffect = ContentFile
FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Glows/YellowSmall.bmp
EffectStartTime = 0
EffectStopTime = 100
EffectStartStrength = 1
EffectStopStrength = 0
DrawAfterParent = 0

Re: Need help with defining Muzzle Flash Make sure the Effects.ini loads before the device code.

Re: Need help with defining Muzzle Flash That seems to make sense. Am I able to change the name of Effects.ini to be able to load it before the Devices folder?

Re: Need help with defining Muzzle Flash All you need to do is make the FilePath to the effects file come before the FilePath of the digger's file.
