Implementing Alien Swarm's particle system into an EP2 mod?

Postby Jimmy422 on Sun Nov 14, 2010 9:04 pm

Alien Swarm features a few new types of particle renderers, including "render_blobs" - which is equivalent to Portal 2's new "liquids". Does Valve provide the code for these particle renderers, and if they do, could it be ported into an Episode 2 mod?

Particle system code is and always has been closed source.

You could always port your mod to the AS codebase. Though I doubt it would be worth it.
Have a question related to modding or something I posted? Something that needs staff attention? I haven't been active lately, but feel free to PM me or message me on Steam(link below)
