Pack option not picking up particle system #87

Closed Grublet closed 3 years ago

minecraft_particles_ttt.zip debug.log

Compile Pal 26.2x

Bug Description Ran CompilePal with pack option, when completed it shows "0 particle files found." Particle .pcf file is located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\Particles"

Do the particles need to be in the map a specific way to be identified by CompilePal? In the map they're created as info_particle_system objects with their name matching the name string from the particle system.

Steps to reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior. Attached the particle system I'm using, create info_particle_system with Particle System Name "torch"

Expected behavior Want the .pcf file to be packed and the particle manifest to be created as /maps/MAPNAME_particles.txt

particles pack correctly for cs go!

Yeah I'm jealous, I want it to work for Gmod too! I can use the -include parameter to explicitly pack the .pcf file, but I really want it to create the particle manifest file as well in /maps. If there was an option to set this I'd be happy happy.

Out of curiosity, can you try renaming your particles folder to a lowercase "p"? Source isn't case-sensitive in places where compilepal might be.

No luck, renamed Particles folder to particles and it shows 0 particle files found. When I use the -include parameter to pack the .pcf file it shows 1 particle files found, but it does not generate the particle manifest in /maps unfortunately.

Compile Pal 026.4.zip Can you try this?

No luck, after compile it shows 0 particle files found. With include option, no particle manifest created.

I think the issue is that you have no particle manifest. Compile Pal will not pack your particles unless one exists. You can generate a particle manifest with Compile Pal by adding the Utility step and adding the Generate Particle Manifest option

Author of the issue reached out through GitHub and told me this was resolved
