Just in case you want to know... -Patch Version: 1.5 -Repeatability: 100% -Platform: Windows XP Home -Error Type: Failed service -Location: In-game -Language: English -Description: See above...

I despise gamespy, and it despises me... I can never get the sodding thing to work. I have 3... 3 bloody gamespy accounts and I KNOW the password/email address/nicknames. Yet when I attempt to log onto that malevolent service I get reams of problems. Any combination I attempt results in some error message such as "account does not exist" "password does not match account" or some crap like this. The worst thing is when I click "create account" Anyone would assume that clicking a button called "create account" would allow you to create and account.. .but that's where you're wrong! It would seem that no matter what I call myself "the password does not match the account"... so, there's already somebody out there called "fasdfgfdsghdsayreye" is there... hmmm.... Am I doing something obscenely wrong? Because I must be... I always encounter problems with Gamespy... I hate it so damn much...

i love finalBIG, great little tool

i meant source xml... oops

I've done all that contrary to what would be sensible... the particle fx are not controlled by XML files... searching the souce xml for instances of them file names produces no results... I could edit those, but they are the masters, and editing them would edit all of their children... Every object i've opened in a hex ediot references them master files All I need to do is find a way to convert the nonsense characters into something sensible... Been searching the past few hours for some hex editing shizzle, anything to gleam some light on what the hell is going on in them files... oh well, it's all fun (*cries* I want my "ParticleSystem.INI"!!) edit: that's not strictly true... there is a particles.xml, but you can only change sizes and lifetimes in that really... You can change the model... but but i'm no modeller so i know (censored) all about that

well... i'm far too addicted to particle fx to wait... so i'll show that fucker that I can mess with numbers and digits until my eyes bleed too! What the hell happened to sharing code? If I do figure it out I'll tell everyone how to do it

right. anyone know some decent tutorials, or failing that.. if bailknight will chat with me?

and what's a "hex editor"? http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm would that suffice?

what do you mean by "hex edited"? O_o

Yo, It's Calamity from Only War 2... I was wondering if anyone knows how to edit particle FX. I've looked through all 17 pages here and found nothing... I have a suspicion i've missed something obvious... but anyways, can somebody give me a hand cheers..
