I'm having this odd problem with the particle system.....it simply refuses to work at all. I tried figuring it out on my own.......no luck. I tried follwing Greedo's tutorial exactly.......it still doesn't work. If I try to edit it in-game (which by the way is really really slick....great idea devs!) ...I even have problems there..... the particle system is listed when I use the "listps" command......I get the message "Particle system found. Press F7 to edit" when I use the "editps" command.....but if I hit F7 I get the message "Particle System Not Found". Please someone tell me what to do.....I'll do what ever is needed......Sacrifice a goat to my computer.....indenture myself to the devs( which would be an honor actualy)......wade into a room of onos with a knife.....whatever.....please just help me.....

Also, I couldn't get the slidder bars to come up unless I was using NSTR.
NSTR is the only thing u can use to ingame edit it tho... so that's why you aren't getting the sliders.
Make sure you try the following
- Particle Systems take about 20 seconds to appear so wait about 30 seconds before giving up.
- make your particle size about 50 (1.0 is tiny.... when I found my ps it was by shear luck as it was very small)
- give it an initial velocity (0,0,10,0,0,0) and a life of about 10 - This should help u spot it.
Hope that helps.... You couldn't possibly imagine my sense of acomplishment when I found my first ps.
Particle systems of any kind require a lot of settings and tweaking. Ive worked with Maya particles so i found it quite easy and strait forward. Maya has what must be 200 sliders and options up the wazoo.
