Can anyone tell me if all the particle effects work on there graphics card, and what type of graphics card you have...
DBpro Supports 3 types of particles:

Fire Particle (make Fire particles)
Snow Particles (make Snow Particles)
Particles (make Particles) - this looks like sparks/fireworks

I Have a Geforce 3ti200 and all the above particles works on my card, however I noticed that in the geforce4 ti200 sparkle type particles don't work and I would have thought that the ti4200 is a better card than mine and should work but this is not the case. So if anyone has a card other than a geforce3 and Sparkle particles work could you let me know as I am trying to ascertain if my coding is a problem, if the graphics card is a problem or if the 3d engine has a problem...
Cheers,
Ozbot...

Well Kangaroo2, if you want to check and see if my game runs on your machine with particle effects my site is http://w1.213.telia.com/~u21319976/ go to the games page and you can download our retro entry game. You will see a screenshot of what the particle explosions in my game should look like. The particle effects only seem to work on geforce3 type cards. As the command is simply "make particles etc....." it shouldn't be anything to do with my code..
If you could let me know if it works for you I would be grateful..

So maybe if I don't use textured particles but used the color particles command instead, it might work on a greater range of cards.. Hmmm I need to win that geforce4 so I can do further testing
