Particles Make My Brain Hurt...

[GamerGirl]

Ever since the 1.6 update, if I try to add new particles in object maker (using effect maker> particles) it says "______cannot be found!" even though i have the file in my particles folder. Can you help me please?

[Wolf-Freak]

try putting it in default?

I used to have that problem too  but I figured it out after all.All you have to do is open the particle file and write the name from there
Like for example , say you want to put the water splash particle.
You have to open water.particle and take from there the name.
Here have a screen shot because I suck at explaining xD

You don't have to do it with the water particle , do it with whatever particle you have.

I tried it, and no dice Thanks for the help, though, I appreciate.

What particle(s) are you using? If I can get it to work, I'll post something.

Maybe you're missing something from the particles?

[GamerGirl]

If I try the bonfire or fireflies or something, it won't work. I can't even do Hammy's bee swarm.

Okay, so you should have 3 files for the bonfire particle. Image, Material, and Particle, all in your particles folder.
Then went to Object Maker>Effect Maker>Particle Then typed:
Bonfire
(Capital B)
And it didn't work?

So you have those ?
I don't have any bonfire related particle in my particle folder ....

I double checked, Ruby, and I had everything right, its just that none of the particles I try to put thru object maker won't work.
