Getting the damned caustics to work.

(1/5) > >>

naceygirl:
I've always wanted caustics to work in my game, and I've fucked with all sorts of files to make that happen.  Recently I got a new laptop.  It's got a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 card in it, and 2 gigs of RAM.  I don't know if that's good or not because I haven't researched video display cards recently.  It's got Sims 2 up to Mansion Stuff.

So I installed the latest Radiance light mod from over at MTS2 with Scriptorium, got the sphere objects to activate the damned caustics, and made sure I have all required textures.

No caustics.

It says in the original caustics tile and wallpaper set that I have to put the damned sphere *inside* the pool.  Am I missing something painfully simple here?  Cause if I am, then I'll be happy cause it means I'm thick and not that my computer is incapable of making the water shiny.  Or that the game has changed in such a way that caustics don't work anymore.

If anyone can help me, I'd be ever so grateful cause my brain is starting to dribble out my ears.  ???

Simsample:
Does it work if you put a swimmin pool on the lot? I assume you are talking about Niol's caustic pool walls?

naceygirl:
It's a swimming pool I'm trying to get the caustics to work in.  LOL!  And yes, it's Niol's stuff I'm working with.

Simsample:
You might be better posting in that thread so that Niol will see it, if you haven't already. Which EPs do you have?

J. M. Pescado:
Why on Earth would you want caustic substances in your swimming pool, and WTF does that have to do with us?
