Particles in 1.60
by Wallace Jackson · in General Discussion · 12/20/2007 (1:38 pm) · 4 replies
I just installed TGB 1.60, and the particle effects are not showing (previewing) in the level builder's particles section, and when I drag them onto the "stage" and go into edit, they are not working either, even if I manually load them again, via the load effect button (top). Should effects (.eff files) from previous versions of TGB also work, if placed in the particles directory? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, as would be the long awaited "coming soon" particles tutorials section in the TGB section of TDN. Thanks in Advance! W

Actually I created a project from scratch in 1.5.1 and upgraded it to 1.60 and copied the effects from 1.51 and then 1.60 (compatible?) into the particles directory and they showed up but as grey previews. I'll try finding and loading this resource and see if that fixes/helps the problem! Thanks so much. Walls.

I added the particleArt resource and this fixed several of the effects and provide a preview for same but several others are still grey squares. Am I missing the 2D/image/anim artwork for these? I also dragged the thruster effect into the folder and it does not work (practicing on the space tutorial and can't get the thrusters to work so I can mount them). Thanks again for your help. Walls.

Could you please post a copy of this so called particle Art and starter art resource, my copy of TGB apparently doesnt have those.
