@EBS LOG- David Uchoa
only if the effect was deliberately set up with a control point to change that trait, like the colorable effects in this mod already are. if you want to recolor or resize anything , then you'd be better off learning how to use the particle editor.

@no loafing hey in the revised mod, will it be possible to change the particle size and color?

would a particle browsing system be possible? (EX: being able to load particles from other mods or games like l4d, etc)

Aww man, I liked the particles still being there for a little bit when the prop gets deleted :(

Tried that command and it transpired I had backed the old version up to the local addon folder a few years ago (as last update was about fiveish years earlier and didn't think there'd be another update by that point.) Moved that version elsewhere on my PC, loaded in a map and sure enough, it worked. So yeah, it's all good now, thanks.

@Lionsmane57
What's the problem exactly, are you still getting the "CreateParticleEffect" error? That shouldn't be possible unless you have an old version of the addon installed somehow - try entering this into the console while in a game, and it'll tell you where the outdated file is:
whereis lua/entities/particlecontroller_normal.lua
Lionsmane57 15 Nov @ 4:10pm 
Still broken for me (I use the x86-64 version)
Jolly Scrunk 14 Nov @ 4:55pm

Description might need to be updated if permanent particles have been fixed. But very nice 👑🐐
Zomlouis 13 Nov @ 1:54pm 
Thank you so much! You have no idea how much for gmod animations how often I use this amazing addon! I wonder if my comment on your profile the other day is what led you to notice that but I'm glad it's fixed 😄.

Alright, the bug from the latest update that made particles not work at all has been fixed. Somehow I was unsubscribed from this addon's comments in particular and didn't know about any of the bug reports, and I'm really sorry for that.

Updated particle lists and new features like Adv. Bonemerge support will not be added to this version of the mod. In their current implementation, all the particle lists have to be typed out manually , and I have to individually check every single effect to see if they're colorable or usable as a beam or broken or whatnot, which is an enormous amount of work when TF2 updates add dozens of new effects three times every year.

I've been working on-and-off on a remade version of the addon that can read .pcf files and do all this stuff automatically (no need for other mod authors to add their own lists, either), along with a bunch of other improvements, but it's slow going and definitely won't be out this year.
Retroburger1984 13 Nov @ 6:24am 
I can't use anything from it either, you need to update this man.
Isaac 13 Nov @ 2:44am 
Yes indeed, mod is outdated from the last update. Your action is required.

Did Garry's Mod recieve an update a few days ago? Something must have happened somewhere that ended up causing this tool to break.

This mod is currently broken. Spits out a script error in the console, and particles don't display. Tested with all addons disabled, still occurs. Script error follows:

-[FF]- Jupiter 26 Jul @ 8:15pm 
Can you add support for the advanced bonemerge tool? It would be super convenient
Well.. its Holiday! 25 Jul @ 1:18pm

Scanner Man 24 Jun @ 10:14pm 
Is there any way to pause the particles? like in sfm?
christmasyname 22 Jun @ 11:14am 
please update ts bro
PootisBoi98 9 Jun @ 5:41pm 
You know how when the Sniper zooms in it creates a faded team colored laser dot. Well I wanna use it in a video I'm making and I can't find it on this addon. I've seen it on there before so I know its in there somewhere. What's the name of the folder is it in?
bignate630 2 May @ 6:45am 
Is there a way to make the particles make sound?
Maj. Mestaic 15 Apr @ 7:47am
