So, according to a note at the bottom of This reference page on DarkPlaces particle effects.
[attachment=1816]
The pipe_smoke effect kinda looks a little like what I want, though it's a bit thin, small and short-lived for my tastes. Still, I'm using it as a starting point to define my own effects, so I've tweaked it a bit to have larger particles.
~/.xonotic/data/epsilon-b4_effectinfo.txt
I then define the func_pointparticles as follows:
But it doesn't appear to be working at all. Is there anyone with a bit more experience with this aspect of DarkPlaces / Xonotic particle effects who is able to help out?
Quote:The Engine now appends mapname_effectinfo.txt to effectinfo.txt. In other words you can create additional effects for your map without changing effectinfo.txtSo, I'm trying to define a new particle effect to use. I'm basically after a large fluffy billowing smoke effect to have emitting from this smoke stack:
