I created a particle system friendlymode.pcf and placed it in tf/particles/. In it, there's a particle named friendly. I copied the particles_manifest.txt from the .vpk to the same location as friendlymode.pcf, and added the following line at the end, before the closing bracket: Code: "file" "!particles/friendlymode.pcf" Yet, the particle is still not visible in the test map. The .bsp loads with these errors: Code: Attemped to precache unknown particle system "friendly"! Attempting to create unknown particle system 'friendly' I don't know what I am doing wrong, any help gladly appreciated! Spoiler Yes, "Start Active" is set.
You will need to create a text file in the tf/maps/ directory named cp_nameofmap_a1_particles.txt (replace cp_nameofmap_a1 with the full filename of your map). Inside paste this in: Code: particles_manifest { "file" "!particles/friendlymode.pcf" } You will need a new particles file (and pack it into the .bsp each time - VIDE/Compilepal/BSPZIP) for every map version.
