So I'm using a func_dustcloud entity in my map and for some reason all the particles are completely messed up. I've validated hammer and p2 files and double and triple checked all the func_dustcloud settings and have found no answer.

Here's a pic

So basically the particles are using a wood texture(wtf?) instead of the texture they should be using.

For me it doesn't has any texture, means pink/black default texture.
I would use func_smokevolume instead. There you can define the material.

@Villethemina : That brush entity doesn't work in Portal2. If what you want is to have smoke for that fire just use the env_fire entity. If you need that the bottom of that pit look like covered in flames I'd suggest you to use the info_particle_system called fire_incinerator_base (tip: check out how you orientate the entity in hammer to get a horizontal field of flames)

useful tools and stuff here on TWP :thumbup:

Yes! :thumbup: A lot of useful info.

Also I had env_fires there but they are so small that I had to put a ton of them, which made the game lag way too much so I changed to info_particle_system's
