Hello,
About particles, I have a couple of questions
Is it possible right now to make particles for portal 2? I opened tools mode portal 2 in the authoring tools and all that came up was portal 2 now menu for particles
Is is possible to import particles from other source games? (making a particle in portal, and putting it in portal 2), do .pcfs have different versions?

I would also like to know how to replace the particles for the outlines of portals, not the color, just the outline, I already edit it
But I don't know where to put the particle to replace the existing one, anyone know?

I tried to open .pcf file from Portal 2, in Portal 1 tools mode, but it wont open it though.

For particles: Use The Alien Swarm Authorizing Tools.

The more you give, the less appreciated it will be received.

(sorry for the the double post, needed the bump)
Exactly, how do you edit particles in alien swarm
All the particles for portal 2 have checkerboards on them and they can't even load the Pcf files from the vpk (though they can load materials)
Is there a tutorial to get them to work somewhere?

In .vpk file they may work. But addons are broken, so..

Did you include your particle in the manifest text file?
