Cutom particles crashes the Lvl. editor

I created a custom particle system and name it "ps_rain_splash.ps" but every time I place in the Level Editor, it crashes and shows me this:

Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.

RE: Cutom particles crashes the Lvl. editor

Particles sometimes do these things. I do not know why. To creating a new particle, adjust some settings then test wheter it works or not after each change.

RE: Cutom particles crashes the Lvl. editor

Which step of making it is breaking it then?

Edit: Don't adjust that certain value then.

RE: Cutom particles crashes the Lvl. editor

Forgive me, I don't quite understand your question since my original language isn't English, but I guess your question is "when it crashes", right? If I'm right, it crashes when I place the system of particles in the Level Editor. I can open the file in the Particle Editor, but when I try to put it in the Level Editor, it crashes. I hope you understand.

RE: Cutom particles crashes the Lvl. editor

The level editor and the game handles particle systems differently than the particle editor. You could probably gain some insight on the issue by looking at the LevelEditor.log located at Documents/HPL2/.

But, you know, leave it, it's just a particle system, I can make the game without it.
