It was about 4 years ago now but I thought I remembered a particle generating tool for quake 3. It had a GUI interface where you built your particle thing, it generated the script and some how you could add it into Radiant. Does anyone know of the tool I'm thinking of?
EDIT: Believe I found it:

Particle Studio? There's another tool that almost made me off myself years ago.
Re: Particle creation tool in quake 3
Ha, thanks Bork, seems we found it at the same time. 

Re: Particle creation tool in quake 3
As it happens I've been writing a particle studio of my own. It'll be an improvement over the Freebrief version by allowing more complex dynamics, by utilizing 2 deformvertexes commands for dynamics; Freebrief's only used 1 (Q3 allows up to 3, 1 is taken up by autoaprite). It also has a 3d opengl realtime preview. Also it only requires the placement of one textured brush and spawns all the rest of the particles using q3map_cloneshader. Although if you found the first one complicated this will surly make you cry

Re: Particle creation tool in quake 3
very nice $NulL 

Re: Particle creation tool in quake 3
Yes I would like some testers 
I'm aiming to have beta 1 out next weekend; keep your eyes peeled.

Nice job null. Aimed for Urban Terror I guess? :P
Re: Particle creation tool in quake 3
It should work the same for q3 and urbanterror. The only thing that is really urbanterror specific is the colour of the UI.
