PC ide's:

 

PS2 ide's:

There are 2 ways to make particles look similar to PS2 as much as possible:
Use PS2 map and start a new game.
or
Go to debugmenu(Ctrl + M) -> ParticleEx -> PObject -> Load PObjets and load particleobjects_ps2.pobj.
Make sure that you are not on a mission, also don't forget to save your game if you want to use it later.

Doesn't work if you try to load it from modloader. Can you look into it?

No, it's a bad idea, if it loads up - modloader will replace PC txd/cfg with PS2 or Xbox, and it will be broken, better install the mod to the scripts directory.

 

Never mind, it's fixed.

Besides, why not let modloader load those files, that's the entire reason it was created in the first place.

The mod only uses the CFG/TXD file from PS2/Xbox to read it? Doesn't load it to the game as I thought? Interesting.

It doesn't replace original particles, the mod adds 2 additional particle systems(PS2 and Xbox) and swaps it on the fly.

Are you blind?

Wait, I meant similar vehicle camera mod, but now I'm not sure if Fire_Head understood what I actually meant
