I was just wondering if it's possible to use the StarAura as a weather particle. And if possible, can anyone explain to me in great detail how exactly to make stars rain from the sky? Like, step-by-step, or an example if anyone's ever done it before with a different thing, and I think it has been done. I would greatly appreciate any help.

So, open the "aura" particle file {With notepad}. Select the particle, erase it, and copy this into notepad:
particle_system StarAura1
{
material FXMat/Star1
particle_width 10
particle_height 5
cull_each true
quota 10000
billboard_type oriented_common
common_direction 0 -1 0
emitter Box
{
angle 0
emission_rate 1200
time_to_live 3
direction 0 -1 0
velocity 400
colour_range_start 0.3 0.75 0.3
colour_range_end 0.7 0.75 0.7
width 1
height 1
depth 0
}
affector LinearForce
{
force_vector 20 -400 40
force_application add
}
}
Now, click the "file" button in the corner, click "save as", and save it as "StarAura1.PARTICLE". Now, copy the "aura" material, the "StarAura1" particle file, and the "star" .png {All in the "particles" folder} And paste them into the "Sky" folder {FeralHeart->Media->Sky}. Open FH, go to "tools", open "sky maker", and click on the "weather" tab. Select "LightRain". Change the "particle" to StarAura1. There you go!

I ended up with this >.<
Do you know how to fix it?
-
Oh. Opps. You have to change the "aura" material that is in the "Sky" folder. Open the "aura" material file. Change the material from "FXMat/Star" to "FXMat/Star1" :)
-
Is it possible to do the same thing with a self made particle, say, Blue Flame?
-
Yes, I believe it is.
But you have to change the name and all.
EDIT: If it crashes while you try it, leave the particle in the folder 'particles' and just load it regularly in the sky maker.

>.< Should NOT be doing this at 12 AM....but can you tell me how to, from the beginning, make it snow Blue Flame? I have the png all made...and I have ATTEMPTED the mat and particle files...but at first it just snowed white boxes, and now it doesn't work....help....me....
-
I'll see how to, then I'll explain.

KK, and btw, your siggy is adorable. Little baby feets ^^
-
Can't figure it out, everytime I try it just shows blank or only a small part with the particle. Sorry. :/
-
