{{sparc|4.1}} is a particle converter for the {{Source|4}} engine created by [https://knockout.chat/user/9053 NandRand]
With it, it is possible to easily convert [[PCF|particle (.pcf) files]] used in {{Source|4}} games from one version to another.
That means that one could for example convert {{CSGO|4|nt=1}} particles for usage in {{Gmod|4}} maps.
==Usage==
Files can be added either by pressing the buttons on the left side of the window or by "drag and dropping" them into the white box.<br>
Selecting a game in box at the top center of the window chooses which game to convert the particles to.

<br>
Clicking on the slider icon enables format-selection instead of game-selection which allows for more detailed version control.

Pressing on the button on the right of the window starts the conversion process.<br>
The converted particles will be saved to a subfolder in the same folder the converter is in.<br>
The subfolder is usually named {{path|Converted particles ((version number), (format) (format version))}}<br>
==Requirements==
