Trouble with costum particles
Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2012 5:56 pm
Hi
I'm having trouble with costum particles.
First I clone an existing light source and define my own particle.
The object shows up in the editor and is creating red light, put my costum temple_ceiling_lamp_red particle is not showing up.
looking at the mod_assets\scripts folder I saw that there is no particles.lua script, so I went ahead and created one.
the mod_assets\scripts\particles.lua script has only the following line.
again there is no particles folder directly under mod_assets like there is under the orginal assets folder, so again I went ahead and created it, and dropped my temple_ceiling_lamp_red.lua script under it.
the red_glow.tga is in the correct place under mod_assets (and yes its a DDS file) I even copied the glow.dds and renamed it red_glow.dds to see if I get the orginal blue particle if there was something wrong with my dds export, but no, the particle simply doesn't show up ingame.
Running the preview I get the following error msg:
warning! no such particle system: mod_assets/particles/temple_ceiling_lamp_red
Has anyone had a succsessfull costum particle show up ingame ?, can you see what I'm doing wrong here ?
Giving that there is no particle.lua and no particles folder undir the mod_assets I'm getting the wipe that this is not supported , can anyone confirm that ??
best regards.
