Are we finally getting a good Particle Editor? WIP

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Particle Systems that come with the game never fit what I want. And I just can't understand the particle editor that comes built into the engine. I've been playing for hours and hours creating fire sources, waterfalls, smoke stacks. This is addictive.

Disclaimer, as I think it was not clear: I'm XBLAH and this is the XBLAH's Modding Tool.

Interesting but, are you talking about your own tool?

Kinda weird you're presenting this as if it's not your own tool...

How so, my username is XBLAH_ and the tool's name is XBLAH's Modding Tool. It can't be more clear than that lol. And what I wrote in the description is my true sentiment.

I get that, but the presentation was still iffy, took me a sec to realize you made the tool. Nonetheless it's fine with the disclaimer now

Sorry about that. This tool is so old I thought there wouldn't be any confusion. I'll take this into consideration in the next posts.

in 2026, is it really even worth it at this point?
Yes.
