Particle effects glitch

reallymadmaveric

I am having problems with Phantom Assassins particle effects which I tried to load into the workshops with a new weapon.

The effects seem locked into the current position regardless of trying new files? I have tried both SMD and DMX formats submitting as per the workshops guide but the computer says no

The animation also picked up a small jitter at the start of the idle. I've been stumped for days has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?

LOL that does not bode well

The particle importer has been broken since 2 patches ago. It's an importer side issue, rather than a problem with your particles.

The particle preview isnt working for in-game sets either. Preview the AM sets in the Store - none of the particles work there afaik.

does that mean we just submit a file showing where we want them to be placed? or just submit without it?

i don't really know, but shouldn't it be skinned to the weapon bone?

Hey, yeah, as Snowstorm said, the AM sets in the store are broken as well,(one of them is mine, and valve actually did the effects mesh, they were aligned but aren't any more) I'm sure Valve we'll fix it on one of there next patches.

afaik you still submit the particle file as per normal. perhaps my last post was worded incorrectly - the preview is the one which is broken. I have no way of knowing whether the importer itself is.
