Weather/ fog not showing up

[TRSMART]

Hi guys,

Just converted my TRNG project I was working on to TEN. The level plays in the TEN engine with some minor things not working (triggers, heavytriggers).

But for the atmosphere i wrote this in the scriptfile and still nothing of the effects is showing up in-engine. Skylayer is not working either (I copied the values from TRNG script) What am I doing wrong? I can't get any type of weather to work with aswel

Here's my current script:

Level_1 = Level.new()
Level_1.nameKey = "Level_1"
Level_1.scriptFile = "Scripts\\Level_1.lua"

-- SKY & ATMOSPHERE
Level_1.ambientTrack = "110"
Level_1.horizon = true
Level_1.storm = true
Level_1.levelFile = "Data\\Scotland.ten"
Level_1.loadScreenFile = "Screens\\rome.jpg"
-- FLOW CODES
Flow.AddLevel(Level_1)
Flow.FarView = 130
Flow.Weather = rain
Flow.WeatherStrength = (1.0)
Flow.SkyLayer1 = 29,30,38,4
Flow.SkyLayer2 = 28,41,63,4
Flow.Fog = 27,32,46

Thanks in advance,

Your Syntax is wrong.

First comes your level name e.g. level1 then a "."

Then the syntax e.g. like this

level1.horizon = true
level1.layer1 = Flow.SkyLayer.new(Color.new(93, 93, 93), 15)
level1.layer2 = Flow.SkyLayer.new(Color.new(0, 255, 0), -15)
level1.weather = WeatherType.Rain
level1.weatherStrength = 1.0
level1.storm = true
level1.fog = Flow.Fog.new(Color.new(255, 0, 0), 1, 20)
Flow.AddLevel (level1)

Only AddLevel becomes flow in front of the line with a "." and the name of the levelblock in brackets, but I would put it always to the end of your script entries like in the example above.

AWESOME!!

This is working now, thanks a lot man!!


Another problem is this, how can I fix these nasty looking things on the objects and especially the trees?

This is the famous "Transparency Bug" with Distance Fog and objects with transparency in the distance. It is fixed in the next version to come.

Ooh yes!! Haha yeah I know TRNG had the same problem a long time ago!!

Great news! & thanks so much for your help!


We need more tutorials on the implentation of the scripting part I think!

We already have a lot of Tutorials about TEN and Lua Scripting on our German Website www.trlevel.de.

But I guess you can translate the tutorials with the help of an online translator.

Yes I can do more Lua scripting tutorial. Don't forget you also have my tutorial about lua basics found here: https://github.com/Stranger1992/Tomb...a-Basics-Guide

Thanks a lot for the information guys!


I now only need information on how to create triggers with timers and how to send commands to objects (with or without delays) to re-create my TRNG scripted cutscenes in TEN

You can read my tutorial about timer and Eventsequence, just translate it.

Ok yes thanks man!!

I have to use translation yes and this will probably take me a while to get right but that’s the fun part of it aswel.
My only question is: “is TEN already stable enough to have all functions working like TRNG has its stability”

Because I’m carefully thinking of porting all my projects in progress from TRNG to TEN.
