Hello i am new to this and have no idea what i'm doing.
So.. i made particles with like "scene_blend alpha_blend" or whatever it was, i can't see them.
Swapping to "scene_blend add" makes them appear but semi transparent with washed out colours and the black markings are missing.
Spent some time on OGRE website but i can't figure it out.

What should i be doing?

Did you make the particles on a transparent background or a black background?
Took a quick look at fh's particles and something I noticed is that most of the particle textures use a black background instead of transparency, except for smoke which is used by the fire particle and has this:
material SmokeMaterial
{
technique
{
pass
{
lighting off <--- Black background particles also use this.
scene_blend alpha_blend <--- Black background particles also use this.
depth_write off <--- Black background particles also use this.
diffuse vertexcolour <--- This is different.
texture_unit
{
texture smoke.png
tex_address_mode clamp <--- This is different
}
}
}
}
I don't know if this will help but it's something.
I haven't tried making particles myself yet so this is out of my league. x.x
