Spirit features not working Created 18 years ago2005-10-03 20:07:24 UTC by Half-dude

Hey all,

I cant believe I never noticed this before but I now realise that some of the features of Spirit dont work in my mod. The mapping features like multiple moving things attached to others, and doors on moving trains. But things like the particle effects and shiny surfaces dont show up.

I compile my map with these perimiters:

+map $file console -particles 50000 -dev -game xeno +map (---)

I downloaded the spirit skeleton folder and Im using it for my mod folder but I think that it doesnt have everything I need for example it didnt have the sprites that are needed to make the shines for shiny surfaces. I put them in but they still didnt work.

As you know the features DO work if I run my map in spirit but not if I run it in my mod.

Any ideas?

Did you copy all the DLLs?

I got the spirit dll and client dll but its the orginal client dll, does it need the client dll from the spirit folder?

Probably.

Yes, it does.

Yep

sorry but it still does not work. Not sure if it will help but here is my compile log.

That all looks fine.

um ok.

So, you're not getting shiny stuff...

Could it be that your hardware isn't good enough? I say this because when I tried running the bumpmapping mod (OpenGL) for HL1, the game crashed with a message saying my hardware was too old.

yea, I don't get it either, (reflective surfaces, or shiny) but I think it's because I use Direct3D, and Software modes only.

Software SUCKS HARD

lol

No the shiny works when I run the map in spirit but it dosent when I run it out of my mod's folder.

You running them both in Steam/both in WON?

wha? no in half-life, the old half-life that used won.

Redownload and install Spirit to make sure you are up-to-date.
