I don't know if i get it. Cant u just use those from Rotcannon?

Its bad idea. ppl would hate that. Things like this don't work with tremulous.

You need to use misc_particle_system + texture + script for it.
Look at nano/spark f.e.

Depends of what kind of smoke u want. If some kind of smoke getting out from some machine u can use misc_particle_system too.

thx , and you do not know where i can find Rotcannon map file ? i checked lot of rotcannon pk3 but there is only bps
and what do next with parcicle system. i put it to map and map did error in game PARCICLE SYTEM IS NOT REGISTERED YET.

Feisty ,
About this particle system: u need to use a misc_particle_system and include texture in
your.pk3 file and also a script there.
If your are asking , you probably wont know how to make your own texture and script so i suggest u to look into nano.pk3 and take a spark1.tga texture from there and use it, and nano/spark script from nano.particle file (also in nano.pk3).
Also u need to set whole particle system properly in radiant which u can find in nano as well(main exit from h base).
I would love to make full tutorial for you but i will be hardcore busy next week and half so all i can offer you right now is copying all of this from nano.
Other option is waiting till 14th , so i will be able to make it 4 u.

You will not find it. But you don,t need it. just use textures from it.

At the moment nothing comes to my mind instead of this misc_particle_system thing with smoke texture instead of spark.
If u mean some kind of uniform smoke that will fill whole room,
idk if its possible, don't think so. Unless u know any example from current map.

Weird. Seems like misc_particle_system though i dont see .particle file.
Maybe it takes it from some default map.
Anyway its definitely misc_particle_system.
You can read how to make one
here.

The kind of smoke/steam-producing particle emitter you are looking for is present on for example Karith. Open the map-karith-gpp.pk3 and extract scripts/karith.particle. The emitter you are looking for is pasted below:
Code: Select all
// steam by jex - edited by godmil, water by godmil :)
karith/steamnrth
{
ejector
{
particle
{
shader sync textures/karith/mist_s
displacement 0 0 0 0
velocityType static
velocityDir linear
velocityMagnitude 150
velocity 0 1 0 ~20
accelerationType static
accelerationDir linear
acceleration 0 0 1 ~5
accelerationMagnitude 25
radius 0 5 50
alpha 250 .5 0
rotation 0 ~360 ~360
bounce 0.0
lifeTime 1000
}
count infinite
delay 0
period 45 - ~0%
}
}
Look at this particle system while also looking at the manual linked by the homophobe imp. You should get an idea of how it works.
If you end up with still having absolutely no clue as to how this works, then my advice is to look at it again. (In all honestly my advice would be to just not bother, but I guess there's always people who desire more boxmaps.)
Good luck and remember that copying & pasting is the Mother of learning how to map.

I probably commit suicide.
why difficultly make this smoke when i can copy it so easy from arachnid2 . In this map pk3 is .map file . So it is fine
I only do not know how change that how much it smoke
