[Particle System] Large fire

[Wander]

Hi all,

Im looking for a particle system of fire
The ones currently in tf2 are all very small, except for the payload cinefx_goldrush one, which is too big and too laggy to have in the map for a longer time

It would be great if someone could make a particle system of fire, with a size of about 300x300x300 in hammer units, a smoke tray above it isnt neccesary (since i guess i should use env_smokestack for that)

If anyone is able to make it, or already has something similar, that would be great

Hey, I'll throw one together for you tonight.

There are also the extremely smoky ones from dustbowl - smoke_blackbillow_dustbowl_skybox It's a smoke column with flame at the bottom

That one is for the skybox, I needed one for in the actual map

i tried making some particle stuff myself, but didnt manage to get particles any other shape than balls
thank you very much :love:

Hmm. I tried this out in a map of mine, but it's not working. I stuck the file in the /tf/particles folder and added the lines

particles_manifest
{
"file""!particles/fire_custom.pcf"
}

into the file /tf/maps/[name of map].txt, which is what I thought was the right method. What am I doing wrong?

in your map, the info_particle_system should have particle system name fire_300_custom

That was the problem; I was assuming it was the same name as the PCF file.

Looks pretty kick-ass, though the size limits its usefulness for anyone else. That's the trouble with the Orange Box particle effects; you can't just create a field and say "fill this with effect x" like you can with, say, water or steam.

It helps people who are also looking for fire particles and see this thread title though (such as myself )

Anyone else having trouble with that link? The site it loaded up looked really suspicious to me.
