Scar Script issues - blizzards.

hi guys,

so i have a map that i am converting from COH1 (one of my own)

i want to put blizzard conditions on the map. including the ability to make fires and make everyone run for shelter.

i read the tutorial, watched the video....did everything listed and it still doesnt work.


is there something else required to get blizzards in the map? do i need to set some snow toggle or something?....it looks like the script runs but its missing something.

i ran another scar script to increase popcap on another map of mine and that worked fine.

also...there is a bit of a conflict with regards to this...for starters.

some people say use mapname.scar other tutorials say mapname_ID.scar....which of these works or which of these is more forceful...i think i need forceful!

also..again...in the video the script looks like this...but in pasted scripts things are missing....also is this even right? should it have another END at the end....

long story...but i have been looking at this for two days now....only other thing i can think of is that the atmosphere settings are screwed up, but it doesnt even allow me to build fires etc.

import("ScarUtil.scar")
import("Systems/BlizzardMulitplayer.scar")

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- [[ ONINIT ]]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

function OnInit()


MP_BlizzardInit("data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/DLC/mp_don_river_01_blizzard.aps" ,"data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/DLC/mp_don_river_01.aps", nil, nil, true, nil)

end

scar_addInit (onInit)

the tutorials mentioning the "mapname"_ID.scar are out dated, note that it by default takes ~10 minutes before the first blizzard hits.

the code looks mostly ok whit the exception of OnInit and onInit

ok thanks...is there a way to see what the code is doing? so you can see where it failing? like a log file or something

i got it to work using this code. and using the mapname_.scar

so the other code must be wrong

function OnInitID()

-- [[ Markers ]]

-- [[ Squad Groups ]]

-- [[ Entity Groups ]]

end

import("ScarUtil.scar")
import("Systems/BlizzardMulitplayer.scar")
function OnInit()
MP_BlizzardInit(
"data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/_mp_4p_kiev_blizzard.aps", -- Blizzard atmosphere
"data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/_mp_4p_kiev.aps", --Default atmosphere
nil, -- Start in Blizzard
nil, -- Blizzard Data
true, -- Use Speech
"data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/_mp_2p_kholodnaya_ferma_transition_out.aps" --Blizzard out transition atmosphere
)
end
Scar_AddInit(OnInit)

altho i just relised that my blizzard appearance must be incorrect! but apart from the wrong transition it all works.
