Sorry i didnt know, well i somehow didnt noticed i didn't type in the 'e'. Do you think if i just uninstall everything and then reinstall it all back it might work?

Reinstalling everything will work fine, I think. But double check the smoke texture file in the folder and the path in the code first. Because if you reinstall everything, then you lose any changes you made in your project.

The "starter.fps/" was hardcoded in some of the scripts and needs to be replaced with "~/".

Just do a find-in-files or search-in-files (depends on your text editor) for "starter.fps" and change it. I'll give you a big hint and tell you that most of the hard-coded filepath problems for particles comes from one file in particular: sgExamples.cs Over time you'll find more. You have to remember that GG in-house developers spends most of their time on fixing, improving, and expanding the engine itself; the scripts are more of an example of how to do things.

Anyway... in the path you said particls, but it should be particles, is it a typo here or it may be the actual error in the path you specified in script.
