ok sure

Thanks. I found out how to get around this. I did about what you said but I forget which texture I used. I can post them later when I get home if you want me to ?

OK. thanks for bringing this to my attention. It didn't work for me either when i changed the apperance, but if you change the texture to tracer.mat(or tracer.tex i don;t remeber which) then it will let you change the apperance and still show up in running the game, but the smoke isn't very thick so maybe you could make your own texture and make it the color you want it to use maybe but somehow you have to switch it in the material editor to Light, or something i don;t know which.

P.S. some textures won't work with particle emitters

When you change the color of the smoke it stops working but still shows up in the editor as working. Am I missing something ?
