Hi i am not perfect at coding or creating particles but i just need to know if i can create particles with other program and import it to mineimator and if this possible what the name of the program to learn it i had see alout of particles creators programs but can't import it to mineimator because it export it as a codingfile.xml and can i use this coding files to make by them a mineimator particles

Any photo editing program will let you import a file and editing it.

The particles work like a sprite sheet, so all you need to do is export the particle sprite sheet, edit it in something like photoshop or Pixlr to the sprite map you want and use that sprite sheet as the particle sheet.

Oh boy...

So in Mine-Imator, particles work off of a sprite system with code to make them 1 pixel wide. A sprite is essentially an array of images that the computer uses at different frames. Think of Mario, each frame is a picture made out of pixels, in which the system reads in a left to right order. 

For Minecraft and Mine-Imator, the situation is the same. The particles run off of this sprite sheet:

We can see this inside the program itself, as well:   Essentially what this is saying, is It starts at one frame, and continues till the last frame, creating a loop. You can modify the width of each frame, the speed of the sprite switch, and the texture. Why is the last one important? well...

In mine-imator, the particles run off of the default texture, but new ones can be imported. So, you rip the texture map from the game, (it's not that hard, but I can tell you if your confused). and take it into a photo editing program. This is where you edit the sprites you want, like this:

(Black background and red selection are added so you can see what I edited)

So then, you import it to Mine-Imator and select the frames you want, tweak the speed, size, whatever you fancy.

Ta-da!

 

I hope this helped, because I spent a long time on this...

Ask me if you have any questions.
