Preface
- This page does not go over how to make custom particles appear in game.
- This page only shows to fix the Particle Editor tool itself.
Tip: To make particles appear in game you need to install Particle Precache Plugin and add -insecure in launch options to precache the particles.The Issue
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Particle Editor is a direct port of the
Source Filmmaker Particle Editor.
- This version has a check while loading the file. If the PCF file doesn't have
/game/folder in its full path then it will error out, resulting not being able to open any file.
- It is also missing few translation files so most of the UI is using raw translation keywords.
The Fix
- Download this .zip (Patched .dll by xen#2982) which contains a patched pet_fix.dll so the whole game folder check is skipped, it also contains the necessary resource files for the Particle Editor.
- Simply drop both folders in your
Counter-Strike Global Offensivefolder and it will put the files in correct place.
How to open the Particle Editor
- Add outline to your game launch options.
- If Particle Editor is not already open, either use the drop down Tools menu to switch from vmt Editor to Particle Editor or type outline in console.
