New texture in effect not showing up [Solved]

Post by Noobasaurus »

I change a texture of an effect in PE to a custom texture I made, but it shows up as a black square. I saved it as a targa and unchecked RLE. I even tested it in ZE as the ground texture and it worked fine. Here's a picture:

I have no idea what's wrong. I put the texture in the effects folder along with all of the default effects.

I am not sure, but I *think* you *might* need to have a munged version of the texture in that one folder that holds them all that PE reads out of.

textures just have to be in the same folder as the .fx i think.

Hmm, true, but you know how weird Particle Editor is. :roll: Try testing the effect in-game.

to see it in PE you need to munge it and then go into the build folder and then go to the side that you munged it from and then find the texture name and copy all files with that name from there to the munged folder thats in the same folder as PE.

i did this once on a msh that i made and textures work just about the same. i like making effects :D
