Best (and free) ParticleSystem?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Best (and free) ParticleSystem?

Ok, I maybe should start writing in the programming section but I still feel like a totally newbie so here it goes:

I'm in a big need of a flexible particlesystem that I freely can tweak and add some features on (I will expand it into a full FX-editor).
So my question is which one I should use that's available and free. I would love some different voices here and best would of course be if you have tried more than one so you actually have something to compare it with...

I still don't to reveal all the ideas around this FX-editor but IF I could get my hands on an already created particlesystem which I could alter/update and tweak and then publish freely without having to pay anything (or going trough a lot of legal things) I will of course publish it freely for you all.

regards and thanks for help

you could use devil childs particle system. it seems good and is free. but i will keep on using particle candy, its worth every cent. and there a lots of editors for particlecandy out there.

What about making your own? Being a total newbie, that's what I'm trying to do.

Thanks guys but heres the problem now:

I dont seem to be able to download Lotus anywhere... It seemed to vanish somehow. Anyone got a link or a DL for me?
