Adding particles to a model

[Sunchips]

Can someone tell me how to use the particle program from Oinkerwinkle or link a good tutorial? I just want to add a glow to my weapon attachment

Easy
War3Model Editor.
Windows>Node Manager
Right click:create paritcle Emiter 2
Make sure head is check and show animation so you can see what you do, just play around, btw I recomend using a texture like cloudsingle or generic glow make sure its set to adative.

I am working on an Ashbringer attachment and I wanted to add a glow to the coin floating over the sword blade but I can't get it to work and I don't find any good tutorials :/ I just want a simple glow.

This is how it looks after I tried to add the glow:

This is how it should look:

As you can see the glow even ended up on a completely different place...

You can set it's position by going to Node Manager, find the Emitter, right-click it, click on "Edit Node", change th x,y,z coordinates to the right position

Sorry I didn't really get that :O where do I find the emitter? and how do I make it look like a normal glow? Thx for your help

Edit: You mean here? Because I have set the coords there

Yeah and change the length in the other node editor where you chose color to like 10 by 10

playing stand animation will show your node in the editor

I dont get it =( Can you show a screenshot what I have to do? Will give +rep

EDIT: This is how I got it to look in Magos but the glow looks like it's behind the disc from both sides :/ and the glow Isn't even shown in the game

here is what I was talking about

and also
windows>animation Controler

play stand animation

and switch your z and y offset you have them backwards I think

Also try adding alpha to the ball if its a different matterial

 

[Sunchips]

I guess you missed what I wrote I wan't it to be a normal glow so will ues 0 there

Add alpha to the texture and it will glow through it

 

[Sunchips]

How do I do that?

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

How do I do that?

material manager its one of the options

 

[Sunchips]

I'm clueless =( this is how it looks and I dont know what to do next

[chilla_killa]

Double Click on "MaterialLayer00XXXX"
Choose "Add Alpha" at "Filter Mode"
But for a normal glow you should use "Additive"

 

[Sunchips]

Okay It doesn't show the glow in-game :/

This is how it looks in-game, I made the disc addictive so the glow shall glow through it

The glow is shown in Magos when I play "stand" animation so it's like the model is not playing its' "stand" animation in the game

Here is how it looks in Magos

Here you can see what I have typed in the Node- and Material edit:

Node

Material

Which program did you use for the sword itself?

 

[Sunchips]

Milkshape

 

[Sunchips]

Bump

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Bump

it looks like you have it set right

Ye I thought so too and it makes me even more confused It really seems like its right but that the model doesn't somehow know that it supposed to call the stand animation in wich the glow exist :S I'm not skilled with modeling with particles so I don't really know what could be wrong

Mind Linking your model real fast?

i think the particles might be a little too small to show ingame, thats what happened to mine when it was about your size, it was like 15 on all of them and it barely showed ingame when i was way up close, so that may be the problem, it might look silly in the modeleditor, but cahnces are its smaller in game.

 

[Sunchips]

I dont think they are too small :/ I tried a really big scale and still the particle is not shown in-game
