Long story short - I have my EP2 engine'd half life deathmatch mod, and when I'm using this new impact effects command it does work when I don't have particle in particles folder. When I do have the proper particle inside the folder, it freeze's the game.
Now is this possible to fix by changing/fixing something via C++?
I have never seen any tutorial nor explanation why is this fucked up.
Also emailed Mike Durand, hopefully he'll respond.
Thanks.

Thanks for rating me dumb idiot.
Haha, yeah, facepunch, what other could I expect?
No help and additionaly dumb ratings.
Yeah.
HAHA Rate me more dumb guys!
You got rated dumb becuase, guess what. You're dumb

This doesn't make you intelligent. Coincidently, it's quite the opposite.
Yeah, I'm really dumb that I've asked about anything on this forum. On this one I agree.
I love how everyone pretends to be smart.
My question still remains, how to fix the OB problem. And rate me dumb, guess what I don't give a fuck anymore. My life does not depend on this forum.
I have the exactly same problem.
I just asked on steampowered forums, although noone asked about this problem there, I have heard about other guys encountering it. Apparently it's fucked up for every OB mod now.
I wonder if Garry had to fix this in GMOD 10.
[QUOTE=OrYgin;20140077]I have the exactly same problem.[/QUOTE]
Yes, It's something with your avatar.
Jesus christ people fuck off, if you don't have anything to say about this problem, we don't give a shit about your dumb comments in which you're trying to impress us with your intelligence. Actually about lack of it.
Seriously, were we asking about your opinion of his avatar or that I'm dumb? Apparently no.
So please keep those smart comments for yourself.
Anyway If anyone encounters this problem I have another thread here

Valve aren't gonna help you with third-party mod problems, especially (if I'm interpreting your incredibly badly-worded post correctly) as you've modded your mod.

He doesn't wants to face the fact that he's alone on this.
Actually Valve is going to respond, they did numerous time so please don't talk bullshit.
I'm not alone on this, me along with orYgin and loads of other modders are experiencing this problem, and only help that we got from people on this forum is their shit talk.
So please stop building your oh so big ego. I know that you guys are smart and know everything better.
Oh yeah you're gold member.
But if you're so awesome at throwing shit at me, then maybe you actually could help with this OB problem?
I guess you can't. You're too awesome to help, and your primary role is to use other people's typo's/mistakes to throw even more shit at them.
Good job. And thanks for help.

I know the answer to your question. We use this feature in a mod that I'm working on. (With our own improved particle effects.)
However, I'm not going to tell you the answer simply because of how you're acting. Apologize for raging at these people and I'll tell how to to fix it.
Your apology should be at least one paragraph consisting of 8 or more sentences, and it should detail why you were wrong to act in such a way when given simple advice.

Step 1. Join Facepunch with stupid problem.
Step 2. Get rated dumb
Step 3. Gain huge ego when accusing others of having huge ego and being unhelpful.
Step 4. Rage at people who make simple jokes instead of taking jokes like a man.
Step 5. Diss entire forum because it won't instantly give you an answer.
Step 6. Someone who knows the answer won't give answer due to attitude.
Step 7. Attitude get better, get answer OR attitude doesn't improve, ban.
Step 8. Run and hide in the furry forums hoping to be accepted but quickly find out that the lowest form of life in the forums hates you just as much.

Alright, alright. You guys have had your fun. Let the kid apologize now. If he doesn't, then you can continue.
Precache particle systems lolololol
I'm not going to comment about those step 1-9 stuff because, well.
As for You 1/4 Life you seem to be one of a few that actually acted like civilised person in this thread.
I would like to apologize, but excuse me, for what?
Is it mine fault that after asking my question I've got rated dumb without excuse?
And maybe I'm blind, but who gave me a simple advice anywhere?
The only thing I've heard is that either I'm dumb or I suffer from multiple personality syndrome.
I overacted but hell, that does not make me the worst person in this thread, how would you feel when someone instead of helping would just turn your thread to shit?
I know this forum is different, but people seriously, can't you post normally? I mean, if you don't have anything to say, or don't know the nature of my problem, why don't you just post that
a)"Look at their wiki/forum or shit, I'm not experienced with those problems"
b)"I cannot tell what are you saying because you can't spell for shit"
Instead you people have to write dumb comments about me being stupid because English is not my primary language, and I DO make mistakes and I'm not hiding it.
And Conro101, apparently you're wrong. For me join date does not matter, I don't look at people's join date like most people here do:
2006 - help him
2007-2009 - throw shit at him
I'm trying to help, even when OP is kid and can't spell for shit.
And if join date is really that much important for you, I have been here since 2006, but I wasn't registered. Believe me or not I don't care.
And thanks 1/4 Life - not for the option to solve my problem, because I don't see anything for what I should apologize other than my little overaction on the dumb ratings.
I thank you for being a normal gold member that does not represent his level by amazing posts like JLea.
Apparently you are the one water drop in the sea of goldmembers that is different.
Thanks.
can you stop taking this like a bitch on her period, stop being an ass because you can't take their jokes, you also seem to have this retarded idea that you can generalize facepunch in a few words
OP you're a dumbass.

Damn son, that was pretty good.
I'm glad you did this despite others actions; be the bigger man.
Alright, fixing your problem is actually pretty easy. You have the right idea; the fx_impact file needs to be in the particles folder. The reason it's crashing is that they're not being precached globally, and the engine never makes any calls to precache them. The easiest way to fix that is to edit your particles_manifest.txt; no coding required!
Open it up and search for an fx_impact.pcf entry, add it if it's not already there. If it is there, simply add a ! after the opening ", so it looks like this:
"!particles/fx_impact.pcf"
Pretty simple, right? The ! ensures that all of the particles in the PCF are always precached.
You may also want to use the fx_impact.pcf from TF2, rather than the one contained in stock EP2. The stock EP2 particles are pretty terrible, and some of them are even broken.
Thanks dad.
You're the best person on facepunch.

Heh.
You're welcome. PM me if you have any more troubles.
Well at the moment it works like a charm, thanks again!
Have you guys already switched the old ep1 explosion effect onto OB engine?

Yes, but I'm afraid it takes a fair bit of coding. We basically re-wrote the client's explosion effect.

If you're fluent with C++, I'll let you know what to do. I'd give you our implementation but it's under NDA right now. (We're releasing our entire SDK after [url=http://www.moddb.com/mods/city-17-episode-1]release[/url] to help better the mod community, so if your project still isn't out at that point you can upgrade to our codebase.)

I don't remember asking you about anything. You can leave now.

Well our ((my mod team's ) - I'm not suffering from multiple personality syndrome ) mod will be mostly for ourselves. Since we're using much stuff from other games we don't want to go public.
Anyway it's not relased yet. Thanks for being so kind 'bout that implementation, but upgrading to your codebase would mean loosing a lot of stuff.
And I don't want to easily get the stuff you guys hardly coded, if you know what I mean :)
Do you know if there are any tutorials on this?
At the moment I've removed* all old explosion particles.
* aka reduced their lifetimes to 0, alpha to 0, and spawn ammount to 0. Yes it's a dumb way, but it's a place holder since when I removed everything the whole project fucked up.

I'm afraid there isn't any tutorials on the matter. I believe we're the first mod team to actually completely replace the explosion effects with Source 2 particles. We also did all of the water effects. (There may be others that are working on it, or have already done it. But we were the first.)

I, uh, didn't SAY anything about when you registered. I don't care about join date, either. It's just that it seems that there have been a lot of idiots who come in, yell that we suck, then they get out. You over-reacted, I wrote down what I saw. Hell, when I saw when you joined, I facepalmed at myself.
I bet the op's 12
