WAC File Issue

**Charger** · 05-21-2003, 05:51 PM

Was wondering if anyone is useing a WAC file in multiplay and other players are able to see an effect created by the WAC file such as lightning and thunder. As host I can see and hear the effect but player's can not. Would they need to have the WAC file as well in order for it to work properly or am I just shooting in the dark with this?

Blue, I know you will have an answer for me so fork it over bro...anyone one else...I'm listening as well!

You are correct Charger. WAC file effects are not seen by anyone but the server unless the player joining the game also has the same map ( same name and wac file). However, vehicular movement seems to be an exception to this.

BTW, if the wac file is not packed, the /s /d need to be added to DFBHD shortcut.
