Clutter not working properly

[icewindo 29]

Hi,

I have some issues with clutter. I used the samplemap and it had the sm_grass clutter allready defined. I used this clutter and ingame all sm_grass surfaces will show the clutter.

However, now I added a new clutter for the surface "pole1". This new clutter doesn't appear and I dunno why. I copied the sm_grass config files and adjusted them for pole1 and I can't find the error. Maybe it's just a small thing, but I'm not seeing it.

layers.cfg:

All looks OK to me at first glance... except for the...

class Layers

as the first line of cfgClutter.cfg... that doesn't belong there... did that error creep in while posting the scripts here? or is it in the actual one in use? Dunno if that would be enough to cause your problem but it definitely shouldn't be in there...

Yep, that was a mishap during copying the contents. Hmm, yep, I found no errors in there too. :icon_neutral:

Do you have any other islands loaded which are using the same clutter classname or config? I had this problem when using two of my islands which had the same clutter config.. the clutter was gone.

[bushlurker 45]

Good point!

If these scripts look OK - and they do, maybe it's an external cause as Beton suggests...

Another longshot "external cause" might be - I notice the addition of your new terrain type brings your total up to 5... you can only have 4 groundtexture/clutter combos per "segment" (varies according to map size, but pretty big - say 500x500m) - did you check that the new clutter is not showing in ALL areas? - if there's more than 4 defined for any given area the 5th might not show at all...
