Why do my particle emitters look different in-game

[exfyre]

When I create a particle emitter in War3 model editor, it looks less vivid in game, why is that?

Example:

If it's just a lighting problem, can that be fixed in the model or the editor?

If the particle emits all the particles only once in a birth or death animation, you're probably just left with the few particles that emitted last in the animation.

But why would the model look differently in-game than in the world editor?

It has to do with your wc3 settings, you need to set Particle quality to high to see them like in WE.

aha! Thank you. I hadn't even considered that. +rep

A question similar to this one. Why do particles in magos look different than in game. I'm not talking about world editor and in-game, I'm talking about they look different in the magos preview than they actually do in game. In some cases the difference is really agravating.

And yes I have particle setting set to high.

magos is a 3rd party mod, and dosnt render the same, and it dosnt support some types of emitters the game does

well magos, to start with, confuses Length anmd Width. It also can't emit tail particles and flags such as Squirt aren't taken into account.

They fixed the length/width in 1.07. But really, some emitters look strange in Magos.

Well is there any proper program that can show me exactly how its going to look in game while I make the particles?

the only one is: 3dsmax 5 + Art Tools.

I have a similiar problem; some of my particles do show in magos, but not in the game!
I use particles with no speed or gravity as twinkling lights sometimes, and only some of them shows ingame.

Another problem i have, which is far more important, is that my texture animations aren't saved. They work fine and shows properly in magos, but if i reopen the model again, the material does no longer have the texture animation!
I can still find the animation and reattatch it to the material (that takes like 10 seconds) but that doesent help a bit since it wont stay there after i closed the program.
