Waterfall particle effect. - Developers

can anyone give me a link to a realistic 100 ft waterfall particle effect. i need it for my GMS map.

I would also like one actually, I have a part in my L4D campaign that seriously needs more detail, like a waterfall would be perfect. If someone can do this, or can tell me how to do it (if it works with the L4D particle editor or not) that person will be credited in that map. :smile: Of course, if I manage to do one, I will share.

yea sure, i'll add it to my list of things todo. expect to see it tomorrow.

i need it for EP 2.

[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/snapshot0003.png[/img] I LIED :v: It falls exactly 100feet (1200 units, 1 source unit = 1 inch). Is this ok? [QUOTE=CoLD_IcE;17861311]Hope it turns out good!

It looks really good! Though it has to be 832 units for my map.

Ooo

[QUOTE=CoLD_IcE;17862515]If not, could you remake it for L4D? It looks really good! Though it has to be 832 units for my map.[/QUOTE] L4d can use any particle files so I'll make one that's 832units too.

Can you release the effects when you're done?

Foda, fucking hell you're amazing with the particle editor, some of them look better than valve's. Anywhere I could get some tutorials for the editor?

That way I can actually make some custom content in my campaign, like sounds, particles etc. Just a side note: I'm going to make the waterfall sound myself, so if you want it just ask. Might take some weeks though, as I'll make it in school.

[QUOTE=Pelf;17863042]Can you release the effects when you're done?[/QUOTE] Agree on that, it would be very useful.

[QUOTE=Foda;17862471]It falls exactly 100feet (1200 units, 1 source unit = 1 inch)[/QUOTE] This looks amazing, but there's one problem. 1 Unit =/= 1 inch It's more like 0.7 inch from what I hear.

1 unit = 3/4 and inch >_>

depending on settings i made mine 1 inch

nice but, can i get it without the spash effect at the bottom? its going to fall into an black pit in the ground.

You could make the falling water and the splash two seperate effects.

here is the effect: [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=81364][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=81364[/img][/url] use: waterfall_nosplash waterfall

Snag'd. I might just use this too...that is, if you guys don't mind.

Oh man this is great. Thanks a lot! I'm gonna try this one out right now. Can you give a short explanation on how to use the different particle editing things? I've studied some of valves and what renderers, emitters to use, but I can't simply understand it. I've tried but I can't just get it right. [editline]11:09PM[/editline] Oh, it doesn't work :( I just got pink and black squares, could you share the materials you used for this or something? I get some error in the console while playing the map, do you need the error message or do I just need the materials or something? I think EP2 and L4D uses different stuff.

Oh sweet I'll put this to good use!

Yo, foda could you make me one that's 1024 units high for episode 2 please? Thanks.

New question: how do I use it?

Info_particlesystem in your map, particlesystemname should be waterfall I think. Foda says somewhere up the page what to put in.

[QUOTE=Legend286;17964384]Yo, foda could you make me one that's 1024 units high for episode 2 please? Thanks.[/QUOTE] This one is 1000 units high, You should be able to just cut off 24 units off your waterfall.

[QUOTE=Foda;17862471]-pic-[/QUOTE] Stupid question time for boxes. What program was that made in?

[QUOTE=rieda1589;17964598]This one is 1000 units high, You should be able to just cut off 24 units off your waterfall.[/QUOTE] I need it for Ep2 though, so I still need a new particlesystem.
