Solved Cannot Apply Rain Effects: "Unable to open .... cfg"
-
I am trying to apply the Rain Drops and Rain Rings effects through the Config, but am getting this:
I’ve not edited falcon bms.cfg; any settings I have are done in Falcon BMS User.cfg.

@Crassus Please make sure that you have selected the right launcher in the config.exe
For some reason it happens that it reset to the Falcon 4.0 one with the new installer…
Just select the right one in the exe field:
PS: best to launch it from BMS launcher…

Why is it pointing to Microprose/Falcon 4 instead of Falcon BMS?

@Badger
Fatal error -
For the avoidance of doubt the “rain rings” are no longer implemented even if selected in the config … should have been removed as it was flagged up a long time ago - by me.

@Ironman53rd
mmm, now you mentioned, I do have this in .cfg , but honestly can’t recall if I saw them last time in U3… maybe to check with a bit of the weather forced in tac … good pointset g_bShowFarRain 1 set g_bShowRainDrops 1 set g_bShowRainRings 1
Cheers

I don’t know what’s going on here but it seems like a ton of problems stem from folks thinking BMS is (at some technical level) a mod of Microprose F4, and installing it in/under the same folder.
From a legal/I.P. pov it is a mod. From a technical pov it’s completely standalone. You should install in its own root subfolder eg
C:\Falcon BMS 4.36
and never think about or touch Microprose Falcon 4. (One exception, the Manual.pdf actually has a lot of useful content, missing from BMS docs.) -
