I did help! Im quite confident the forum search functions will be your magic genie if you learn to talk nice to it. If that seems to tiresome, perhaps just start digging into the past forum posts, imagine it like going BACK in time! WEEEE!

Just a suggestion - You might want to actually use the word please once or twice when you post a list of questions that require some in-depth answers.

2. How do I make particles?
- With the particle editor (F5).
3. What are some free modeling tools for making buildings (anything but constructor because my comp. has trouble with it)
- Quark & Hammer.
4. How do I animate my character so the game recognizes it.
- Depends what program you're using to model & animate.
