Particle effects

[magic646]

I just got the swamp pack and I would like to know how to use the particle effects like the fire for the barrel and the bugs. How do you add these to your map?

**EDIT**
whenever i try a particle system i gives me a message like this


Attempting to create unknown particle system 'waterdrip'

If any one knows ho to fix this it would be much appriciated

Thanks in advance

Just type in the name of one of the particles as the Particle Name and enable it.

• Place info_particle_system entities.
• In those entities, type in the name of the particle system each one emits.
• Create a per-map particle-manifest for your map.
• Make sure that the PCF files you need are listed in the manifest. Each PCF file may contain one or more particle systems.

I bet the particle system names are listed in the swamp-pack documentation or readmes somewhere. If not, you can use TF2 in the "tools mode" to access the particle editor and browse within the PCFs.

Again I ask, why is that not linked to from the Swamp homepage?

Dunno, I could put the blame on someone in the team, but then that person would pass it on, and then pass it on, and on, back full circle to me, probably.. And I sure as hell don't have anything to do with the webpage so.. /me pushes blame away again.
