RW Released ParticleEx

[zerosaber75]

Is it possible to recreate the Vice City-like rain effects for GTA III that the mobile version has with ParticleEx?

Hey, i found some "bug" or difference perhaps. The hydrant splash with ps2 config on gta vice city remain the same as the default PC one.

There's no PS2 configuration in particleex for VC, just Xbox and enhanced Xbox behaviour that includes III Xbox explosions.

Also, PC and PS2 particle system are the same on VC as far as I know.

 

EDIT:

Oh hey, I was talking sh*t above haha. My plugin was outdated, not anymore. And indeed, latest version includes PS2 particle system. My bad, sorry.

I'm getting a crash on launch.

It looks like the file path it's trying to load from is incorrect. Any idea on how to fix this?

This is my how it's placed into Mod Loader.

IIIParticleEx.asi & IIIParticleEx.ini are in my scripts folder.

 

 

EDIT: Fixed the issue.

I'll leave this here for anyone else, but the .asi needs to load from the mod loader folder as well.

The folder structure should look like this.

does this change reflection?

does it make the reflection more better? (the old one looks like a reflection from a toy car)

@Fire_Head Here's something to report, the FH switch in VC is using the PC particle cfg and txd, so I replaced those with PS2's particle cfg and txd but particleex seems to ignore it because I can't see the unique PS2 newspapers scattered in the city, still loading the PC ones, that's includes the other particles as well, like fire, etc. Also, FH switch makes original VC water droplets to appear on screen, ignoring the skygfx Xbox water droplets. I didn't test with blood droplets but I think will be the same thing.

 

Any chance to replace FH with PS2 particle system? I don't see the sense of the FH switch if is the same one as PC.

Hello! I have a question about the same problem, downloaded lastest version available, added it through modloader and changed .ini to PS2 but the problem still persist. I don't see PS2 particles like unique newspaper.

 

EDIT: Problem solved, this was issue at my end I apologize.

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.

You could use both of them

[Clivesdonovan]

Is there a way to combine xbox type flames with SpitFire's "Fire & Flames" mod? At the moment both mods are compatible with normal fire only but when using xbox fire there is a very weird smoke effect on the scatter fire.
