Tutorials:NewDark/Particle effects - Bitmap Disk Fire

This is a very quick and dirty tutorial explaining how to set up a new, particle-only Flame (-208) replacement in Dromed for v1.19. This **will not** work in v1.18 as it relies on the Bitmap Disc particle type added in 1.19

Initial setup

First you need to create a new flame base, an object that will have the various particle components linked to it. Open the Object Hierarchy window and then:

• Open the SFX -> FireFX tree
• select FireFX, click Add. In the window enter NewFlame and click OK.
• select NewFlame and add the following:
