So I have this weird problem... (one of many)
Ive been buggering around with the animation trying to make a bunch of specialized effects for various missiles.
After a few hours of tweaking and saving and tweaking and saving etc I then reload guts to check if its all working correctly... load up the layouts or the missile resource etc... and...
POOF!
they are empty!!???
Now if I go to the files themselves and look at them there is everything as far as I can tell.
Meaning these save files exist!
I can open them in a text editor etc.
try and load them... and... there is nothing in the layout... I mean NOTHING. Not a hole bc a hole would be something but... NO things.
Do you have your files in the proper folders? You can't screw around much with the directory setup. For example, you can't put your particle files in the skill folder or they won't show up in-game or in the editor.
could be that... I periodically move/clean up my workspace and I may have screwed that up...
I basically have started over with everything about... 50 times maybe?
Seems I get everything working almost perfectly then one final tweak breaks everything...
on the one hand its very frustrating but on the other im getting a real handle on how to build everything quickly and efficiently.
Anyway, last go at it I created a text file that has all the files related to a skill and the folders they should be in all neat and organized. Everything is in the proper places and working well.
EXCEPT I somehow broke one of the best most simple missile skills I made...
it was the one to rule them all... it doesnt hit anything anymore.
it has piercing... and now it just passes through mobs without damage... *sigh*
Im sure Ill get it eventually... 10 minutes to rebuild it and just use the particles I made.
I swear GUTS is messing with me!
If you want anyone to help out with looking into your mod files and directories, just give a shout
