    They are at Blackhills. How can this be applied to every map? Thanks.

    Particles are visible at night by default

    Not for me :/

    Left one is Blackhills with both my enhancer and my new spark texture. If I was using my enhancer on the Grid map (right) it would be all pitch dark.

    They don't work because of the enhancer then, not sure why they work for blackhills specifically though,

    That makes no sense. I'm saying the enhancer is not used on the right image. Can you see the spark on the right image just like on the left one (where the enhancer IS used)?

    Oh my bad, understood you wrong. Not really sure why its not working right, You didn't change the sparks materials at all?

    Only the texture. But what I'm looking for is to find the reason other maps don't light them at night and edit the correspondent file.

    It's the enhancer. The way that thing works is by calculating the image colours pixel per pixel.
    The two maps have different setups, so that may influence.

    That's not a problem with the game, that's the enhancer doing that.

    You are right, disabling it did not make them visible so I thought it couldn't be the enhancer until I moved the files from the executable folder. Any idea of what can I change on the maps to make them visible with the enhancer just like Blackhills? Thanks.

    Nevermind, I solved it just by taking them out, running the game, and running the game again with the same files!

    CORRECTION: It wasn't my enhancer, it was some mod that I had downloaded that was giving me these troubles. I'm still figuring out which one.

    Problematic file is named art.zip. Includes a crash sound, particles folder, etc... 1.5MB

    Deleted.
