"Old" Wormhole reminds me of Osmos…

I sort of like the blend of colors on the old wormhole better.

 

[Asd417]

nice

This will be quite useful for recreating the Test of Intelligence from 2006's Sonic the Hedgehog.

Anyone got recommendations for appropriate sound effects to match these? I'm not sure they even would make a sound, but it feels odd not having any accompanying sounds.

Probably needs a fade in / fade out sound effect for when a wormhole appears / disappears, and then a looping ambient effect while it's open.

 

[R4Y]

I might use it in my April fool's map

 

[Asd417]

May I ask for version without the distortion effect?

This is pretty trippy

 

[Exactol]

wormhole_(blue/purple/green)_main Has no distortion

 

[Asd417]

But I need the wormhole to be large

 

[Exactol]

Use wormhole_(blue/purple/green)_large_main

I wanted to use these but I can't seem to get them functioning at all.
wormhole.pcf is in tf2/particles/particles along with all the other .pcf files.
I've added a new line to the particles_manifest to include wormhole.pcf and saved it.
I've ensured sv_pure is in fact at 0, and checked for any stupid human errors like spelling mistakes thrice now. I've got the name of the particle system I'm trying correct. "wormhole_purple", but when in-game in a test map the console still insists there was an attempt to create an unknown particle system "wormhole_purple".
I'm able to access and view the wormhole particle systems in the particle editor for tf2, but tf2 still refuses to acknowledge they exist when called upon in-game from an info_particle_system entity.

Is there some niche installation process I'm overlooking when it comes to adding additional custom particles to tf2?
