I’m looking for a tutorial or something on how to edit particles ingame, either editing an explosion or replacing gibs with other.. stuff. Can’t seem to find one. If anyone has a link, that would be much appreciated. And if anyone feels editing it for me as i’m shit at this kind of stuff, that would be even better.

I think a lot of that stuff is locked down now. Povohat did go into something like this on here: http://ozfortress.com/showthread.php?t=39676

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for.

actually since it’s you, I don’t know about changing gibs into flowers or pandas or whatever

so for the particle edit, you have to extract the original particles from the tf2 content.gcf, and put in the same folder, ie tf/particles

after that, start up tf2 with the -tools parameter, and choose particle editor at the “tools” dropdown menu

don’t know about the gib edit :s

Well it should be possible seeing as this http://www.fpsbanana.com/skins/33703 exists. And i don’t need it to work on sv_pure.

Bumping this up. Trying to do something really simple in theory, but as i have no idea what i’m doing i can’t get it to work. Anyone that knows how to edit particles at all, please contact me on steam as i’m getting desperate and frustrated and will give payment in hugs.
