Custom weather issue (particles)?
« on: August 08, 2013, 05:41:20 pm »
First off I apologise if this is in the wrong section, if it is please direct me to the right place. Basically the problem is in the creating of custom weather, and by this I don't mean weather cycles but in the particles. For my map I wanted to have some shooting stars, so I looked into the FeralHeart>media>sky folder to see what was up. I noticed the basic weathers being there (Rain and Snow) as pngs as well as the .weather file itself (along with Light Rain, plus the two cycles). I looked into the weather.material file as well, and saw that the Weather/Mat files link up to the pngs. I thought that if I used one of the pngs as a template I could alter the weather.material file to include this shooting star by changing the Weather/Mat name and by changing the texture to the name of the png. However, when I went into Sky Creator and typed in the name that I allocated to the Weather/Mat file but then it said that it didn't recognise it. I tried typing in the name of the png, as well as other names but it would not recognise it, which is a problem.
Sorry that this post is so long, I just didn't want to waste anybody's time in not stating what the problem was clearly. I have no idea how to create custom weather particles and so far have not found any tutorials that go into depth in this issue so I may be doing it completely wrong! So yeah, if anyone has any solutions (or has made custom particles themselves) I would be very grateful!

I don't think there is a shooting star particle, but that's just me. Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.

Ah, sorry, what I meant was that I  made a new texture (like how some people have made balls of fire or bubbles) for a new weather (which I intended to be shooting stars), but I don't really know how to get it into sky creator.

I advise you look into the Textures folder in C:>FeralHeart>media>textures.
