Yes, outline on loading text.  Been wanting that.

Meh, I'm kinda disappointed with the new take on the particle emitters.  It used to be that all the emitters would spawn from the center of the brick.  Now, they spawn from multiple points, covering the whole of the brick.  I would much rather be given a choice whether or not a particle emitter is created using the first (old) method or the second (new) method.

For the nubs out there who need "photos or it didn't happen", here's what I'm talking about:

[Badspot]

I feel the new method is more intuitive as the particles are being emitted by the brick and you can get a greater variety of effects by attaching the same emitter to different bricks.  If you want point emitters you can use a 1x1.

Or you can just do this:

<emitter>.setScale("0.01 0.01 0.01");

You guess correctly!

Edit: EDIT :D

[MrPickle]

Yeah, i like hte new emitter thing, looks better imo.

LMAO i like teh win emote on 64 x 64 plate.

The emotes do look cool.  Fire looks like crap, as does the laser.  Fog actually looks pretty good.

[Masterlegodude]

Is there a way to use that Particle editor? If so, please tell me how

[Night-Stalker]

This will look good for the fire fighting mod =D finally, no fake fires!

Whooo, modify button!
