Valve's unsued particle are awesome.[/QUOTE]
Whoa fuck, can you send that to me?
I want to make a rocket launcher that fires that :v:
I remade the aurora effect from scratch, it's fairly easy actually.
I need to make some swirling beams next, so I'll post them if they turn out OK.
Can no one tell me how you guys test the particles? Seriously, I can't find the commands and the Valve Wiki, from what I've read, doesn't tell you anything about how to implement them for testing.
Seriously, how do you think it's done.
Put info_particle_system in map. Give it the right name. Test in game.
Ok well I did that, and I have a button to activate it. But nothing is happening?

I get this in the console:
Attempting to create unknown particle system 'test_01.pcf'
Edit:
Nevermind, I got it to work. But the button doesn't make it work I had to use console commands. The bind h thing the Valve Wiki has on it.
For everone wondering about including the new effects they've made in their multiplayer maps there is some good news:

[quote=Tony Sergi]I actually wrote some code for this, to load per-map manifests.
eta unknown ;)[/quote]
[quote=Tony Sergi]just like soundscapes, except it would go in the particles folder like the other manifest.
ie: particles_mapname.txt
and then you just place the pcf's you've made in there.[/quote]
So you make a particles manifest file and add in only your new ones in and then pakrat it in :D The fact he's working on it calls for some small celebration
...So I pretty much skipped from page 1 to page 7...
But I picked up on add "-tools" to any OB game to use the particle editor...
And that we can't save.
Is testing in-game and saving now possible?
I'd like to make a grenade that ruins EVERYONE's shit.
:D
Something tornado+fusion-bomby?
We can save.
[b]Edit:[/b]
And it's just an effect.

testing and saving locally is possible but having it on other peoples machines is still not.
[QUOTE=Youme]testing and saving locally is possible but having it on other peoples machines is still not.[/QUOTE]
Wrong, you can open others save and you can pakrat the shit into the map.
[QUOTE=Lord Ned]Why should [b]we[/b] waste our time when [b]he[/b] needs help that's already been answered by [b]us?[/b][/QUOTE]
Multiple times from the first page onwards too. Even multiple times per page.

Not very complex but it looks nice, the particles grow outwards slightly from mid-air, then fall towards the beam and fade out again.
That would be great for some sci-fi lighting.
Big glowing beam things isn't sci-fi?
I can't work out how to get the particles to collide. I've tried using the collision used in the debris for the explosion, but it doesn't work.
[b]Edit:[/b]
Never mind, I solved it.
Bah, now the particles_mapname doesn't work.
[QUOTE=Popper99]Here is a nuke effect I've been working on.

looks like an emerging shite =D
cool none the less
How can I get particles to collide with the world properly? I can't seem to get them to do it without bugging out. Maybe i'm just using the wrong options though. What do i set to make them collide with world?

Collision via traces.
[QUOTE=HiddenMyst]Collision via traces.[/QUOTE]
Tell me what i need to set, because it's still going through walls with the default settings.
Can somone give me step-by-step instructions on how I might take a particular .pcf and replace the explosion effects in GMod?

Orange box only. Also holy cow this thread is old.
I think I'm stucked... I've made some particles, added them to that manifest file, but I still can'T understand that how can I place particles to a map with an info_particle system...
[QUOTE=ertnemz;10676197]
-In that entity put the name of your particle name into "Particle System Name" field ( not the name of .pcf file).
[/QUOTE]
What does this mean? I mean, I can't understand where can i find the name of my Particle System?
[IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a7/IceWarrior98/particle_test0000.jpg[/IMG]
Or is that the particle name?
The one selected in orange? the test_01?
Yes it is the "test_01".
Thanks HiddenMyst!
Since the last time I was here.. I jumped on particles. 3 years later, I'm on many high end source mods working on tons of particles! -Bump- xD
