Information

Cpt Redbeardeard figured out how to edit Particles like we used to do before by editing troybins. So now you can take the exact Particles from a champion and can put it on another one, like here: Heartseeker Jinx R explosion on Jhin’s E.

Tips

best order to work on particles to minimize fuckups

1. Look up skills that might be useful for your champion (skin previews etc.)
2. Extract the bins and particles for those abilities
3. Copy all the particles folders of the other champions into your wad folder
4. Edit the bins to your liking
5. Check in-game
6. If you have buggy textures: Run your wad folder through bintex, open the “Combined” list and add any missing files to your wad folder
7. Make sure that you now have everything in-game
8. In bins, reroute all your particle files to the base folder of your champion in the bins
9. Move all your particle files into the base folder of your champion
10. Hope everything is there, if not, check the bintex list again or the code directly and add missing files.
11. Done
