Unable to see and hear spells.

[Castinonya]

I'm having an issue with my RoF2 client that I'm not sure how to fix. I'm entirely unable to see or hear any spells. I have all my settings turned up to maximum and all the settings turned on. I've even tried having the client write a new ini file, but it hasn't fixed it.

I'm at a loss at what to do. Does anyone have any information on this or know how to fix it?

[Kingly_Krab]

If your settings are correctly set, which they sound like they are, try using '/showspelleffects on'. I've had this issue myself, that's how I resolved it. Let me know if it works. If it doesn't, feel free to post a screenshot of all your options settings and your configuration file.

[Castinonya]

Thanks for the rapid response, I do indeed have them on. I will edit this post in a few with my settings and the ini file so that you can see it.

[Kingly_Krab]

It looks like all of your settings are correct, opacity is 1.0 and show spell effects is 1. I'm not quite sure what the issue here is. Did you delete any files or anything that would keep the particles from showing?

[Castinonya]

None that I'm aware. In fact, I even reinstalled RoF particle/emitters hoping it would fix the issue. Do you perhaps know the exact names of the files I may need? So I can scope out my client.

Edit: Also, it's not just the particles. I can't even hear spells. I hear everything else.

[Kingly_Krab]

That's pretty weird man, first time I've ever heard of this issue. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what to do from here, being everything is set the way it should be. I apologize for not being of more assistance.

[Huppy]

Just a note, but my "rof2" client that I was testing on my server, had a problem with
spell display, in general. Buffs, casts, etc. The spells seem to cast ok, just displaying
everything was all wacked. I don't use sound on my puters, so I have no idea if that
works or not, but some of the spell particles displayed and some didn't.

[Castinonya]

Unfortunately, this is still an issue. Does anyone know of the specific files and such needed to display spells and their sounds?

[yz125]

Are you using the client found at [redacted]?

[Castinonya]

I am indeed using the RoF2 client from [redacted]. There are a few others there having the same issues as me. I tried talking with [redacted] there, and according to him, he has no issues with it even though he apparently has the same client.

[yz125]

That's very interesting. I, too, am having the same issue. I have an older RoF Steam client on a separate computer, and when comparing the twos' option's, they're identical. It is the strangest thing, and quite annoying. =\

[Splose]

Sorry to rez this thread. I had this issue and I moved the following 2 files from an old HoT client to my RoF2 and it fixed this for me:

spellsnew.edd
spellsnew.eff

[Jahar_LoA]

NECRO:

I am still having a problem with this. I tried this solution above. It did not work for me. I can see spell effects on HoT/UF Hybrid, however, not on RoF2.

[RinoaV]

Same issue here with my steam ROF+ client, no particle effects and no sound.

/showspelleffects on with no change.

I tried copying spellsnew.edd and spellsnew.eff from my Underfoot client and still nothing.

[RinoaV]

This issue is solved on my end, unfortunately I did not find out what was causing the issue or how to fix it, I just overwrote my directory with my backup.

-Rin

[Maze_EQ]

Its due to a spell file that's outside the range of your client.

[Nerdgasm]

I don't understand how the spell file is out of your range when, in my situation at least, I started the server the spell graphics were there, and now, after creating and deleting all custom spells, I do not have any spell graphics... still.

[Ridas]

Is there any update on this? I tried all sorts of things, but didnt solve it yet.

[Nerdgasm]

I have no idea, still an issue with my server.... lol.

[Trubles]

This is due to your spell file having more than 40,000 entries.

[DanCanDo]

This is due to your spell file having more than 40,000 entries.

I've never run in to this problem, but that's good to know for the future :)
