StarAura Rain

[Wishflight]

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:

Code: [Select]

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?

[Jayfeather55]

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?

[Faith.]

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....

[Faith.]

I'll see how to, then I'll explain.

Can't figure it out, everytime I try it just shows blank or only a small part with the particle. Sorry. :/
