I've been going through all of the tutorials but when I get to a cpp that incorporates anything from the ../data/particle/ folder I get nothing but blank pages and errors.

It's obvious I don't have a ../data/particle/ folder but am I supposed to have one? If the .gfx is somewhere else in the folders I'd like to know the path. And also tell me if I'm supposed to have a particle folder.

Okay, if anyone else runs into this problem, I found the path.

replace the "..data/particle/explosion/0.gfx" or whichever ../particle path to:
"..data/obj/particles/..." and whichever until you get to the file you're looking for.

I knew I wasn't a n00b

thanks, I will fix the incorrect paths in next SDK
