Budding New Game Designer Falling at First Hurdle !

First Post so High All !! :)

I've been looking to develop a few ideas i have for games. Ive got limited computer drawing skills and a small coding knowledge, so something like torque 2d seems ideal for me to get started.

I have downloaded the demo and started up the tutorials ready to start. Second tutorial in i hit a brick wall. No Particle Effects.

Is this because im using the trial?

Ive imported all the resources, even the tutorial game ones, and still no particle effects appear.

Any help would be great, im itching to get started :)

Thanks Guys

Hi Michael

Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried the extra content. Saved it to the resources folder then added it under the Resources tab in TGB. But still nothing.

It seems to off added more into the static sprite libary, but inside the Particle Effects there is still only the one preset "New Particle Effect"

Im confused...

@Mark - What project are you using? These tutorials are geared toward the TutorialBase example.
