Wow - you are an absolute magician with the particles! Great work! One workaround for the game crashing could be to do a sequence of screenshots of a flare launch, etc from a video on youtube and then use the pictures as frames in a sequential, multi-frame particle effect with alpha channel...

Yes, I thought about that, but I don't know how to do yet. It could be useful for me because one day, I plan to create an aurora borealis effect. But this would also require an input in sh3.exe and I'm not sure if any codder wants to help me.

My next goal about particles is to improve the smoke effect when shells are fired from battleships.

Actually no coding is required. You can do sequential tga files in SH3/4/5. At work right now but I will show you later.

I mean code to spawn the effect randomly in clear skies, and at a certain time of the year, at a certain sun angle and at a certain latitude.
