Particle Emitter 2 No visibility in game

I've added bubbles to a model via particle emitters. The particles show up fine in Magos, but not in Sanity Test, Retera's Studio or in game. It only has a stand animation, so I know it's not a problem with the visibility field which is just set to '1'. I've got them set to unshaded and unfogged as well. The other particle emitters that use a cloud 8x8 texture work and show up fine. Anyone have any insights? I've read through the threads from others with similar issues but haven't found a solution. Model attached.

The bubbles do not show up in Magos.
Those are other particle that use a different texure than 'Texture\Bubble.blp'.

The setting for 'lifespan' for the 'bubble' particles is at zero.
Try increasing it to something higher than zero.

I've edited some of the particles you added to have non-zero lifespan.

I would recommend you to read up on Particle emitters. Here's a fantastic tutorial.

Thank you! I was checking that tutorial while working on this, so idk how I missed it that.

What do you mean by this part?
Those are other particle that use a different texure than 'Texture\Bubble.blp'.
Is the bubble texture in the MPQ somehow different than other particle textures?

I meant those particles did not show up in Magos' War3ModelEditor at all. They were other particles.
Maybe you saw wrong.

But your problem seems to have been solved so that's good.

If by the other particles you mean the fumes, those showed up in everything. The bubbles absolutely showed up in Magos for me, I even downloaded the model I linked in my original post just to be sure. Maybe we're using different versions of Magos?

But yes, the problem is solved.
