What I've done so far. I will update now and again on my thread.

[Gubbenuua]

What do I need to do to get the effect appear at the entity and not in the map origin?

[bennyg]

Should I try coding that into a new Nuke?

I think you need to add more particles. And remove the strange red things flying around. Make it more yellowish, and then it's a go :D

Uhhhh, it looks like it's just a really huge flare.

[HiddenMyst]

I prefer my nuke. It is still very unfinished.
I think it looks ok for now. It is made to be placed in a 3d skybox.

Well, at least it's nuke-shaped. But it's still not that good.

Just a rather quick edit of the pyro flamethrower. Made because I remember someone asking for it on here, but I lost the thread.

I am aware the hearts need to be bigger. ;)

Help! How to make my particle animated? (rotation, fading)

[HiddenMyst]

[QUOTE=GVG-Vit]Help! How to make my particle animated? (rotation, fading)[/QUOTE]
Use "rotation roll", "alpha fade-in random".

[GVG-Vit]

Thanks and how to make it flame-like?

[ilikehl2]

Mine won't show up in game...saved it and have the stuff set up right, says there is no particle system named that

[Lord Ned]

Did you define it in the HL2/TF2 particle manifest?

[thespectator]

First thing I really worked on:
[IMG]http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f313/eddevera/particledev0001.jpg[/IMG]

Changed the effect to have smoke and to use the engine fire rather than the tf fire.

And a random ball of flames and smoke :dance:

[sltlamina]

I want to use this, however Episode 2 won't start up :( I want steam to use my master drive, not the slave one, however it keeps opening my games from the slave drive, not the master one. If I try manually opening the games from the files in the master drive it doesn't work :(

I give in.

[GVG-Vit]

Fucking particles. :mad:
Why i can't spawn them? I placed PCFs and particles_manifest.txt in "particles" folder (in gmod dir)
Code of particles_manifest.txt

particles_manifest
{
	"file"		"particles/cloud.pcf"
	"file"		"particles/flames.pcf"	
}

Then trying to spawn it using particle system stool in gmod
I wrote to text field "cloud3"(named it as "cloud3" in editor), then clicked on the ground and it said that there is no "cloud3"
My particles don't spawn!

I still can't make rope-based particles...

They don't seem to work.

[Lord Ned]

Fine no one say "Oshi- Ned's alive". :mad:

[QUOTE=Jimmy422]They don't seem to work.[/QUOTE]

There's one effect in the "Dog vs Strider coreography"-file that uses ropes. It's a small effect that just shoots a string of rope downwards.

[QUOTE=bennyg]Should I try coding that into a new Nuke?[/QUOTE]

You should use a mesh with an animated bump map in combination with the particles.

Oh dear lord, I THOUGHT I HAD TAKEN CARE OF YOU!

[Lord Ned]

@ Splode, Never! (Always remember to remove the bubble gum and string from the pit before you leave me)

[ertnemz]

Guys, show me some of the World of Warcraft effects! :)

[JLea]

Does anyone know where the hell the blood effect is for the combine soldiers :confused:

I can't find it in the ep2/particles folder

[pn18]

Hi!
I just started to use the particle editor yesterday and I think it's phenomenal. However, I'm currently working on dynamic water. I hope you like it:

It's a WIP and I'm very sorry for the bad video quality. I'll post a better video tomorrow.

Bye.

Aren't they decals maybe? :>

Besides, does anyoone figured out those commands?

particle_test_file
particle_test_start
particle_test_stop

Also noticed that info_particle_system can not be created in game, as re named particle in already created entity. :(
It must be done all in Hammer...

By the way...nice waterfall :)
