Nightwolf can you help me and Ghost! We can't get it into game and you have your tasty snow in game.

And after taking the .txt out of the Manifest name it didn't say "Couldn't load particle "xxx"", it said it couldn't load some other particle I wasn't even using, and I think it always says that.

I had my go at snow too, there are 4 types of flakes in this one, the heavier looking ones fall slightly faster and have more gravity applied to them, I also added some fog and clouds near the skybox for a cool "snowy day" effect. :-)




I love this program so much.

(by the way: anyone who likes my paricles PLEASE rate on youtube, noone seems to care lol)

Baloons completely reworked. Now have accurate starts/stops and gravity affects them ^^

I'll do it, I work pretty well in the program, I just can't fucking get it into the game! :( I've been working on getting it in game for fucking 3 hours. I've added it to Manifest, I've named the Particle Effect after what I created in the editor, not the .pcf, and I've given it a unique name that Valve would not use unless they were stalking me... WTF!!!

I don't know..... sounds like risky business..... If other people sign up, I will too, but I don't play tf2 hardly at all anymore, but I still love a good particle effect. :-)

Ok, guys, I've been meaning to say this for a while now,

Let me clairify, my name is no.00dylan, not "noob" dylan. As in "Number 00 Dylan" the reason for the name is my school used a prgram and to login my username was 00dylan, it started to catch on so I've used it since.

noob dylan is just hurtful, infact, tonight I plan on crying myself to sleep.

:) Jk about crying lol.

I think we should start having particle competitions. We all make particle effects in the "box" prefab fro hl2, and see who is the best!

-science: nothing can be destroyed only transformed into new forms.
-me: true death is a lie there is only transformation, unless sciences very core is wrong.
