According to the UDN, you can make an emitter look as if it's already been going awhile when your map starts.
so for example, my steam doesn't look like it's just started to players who spawn next to it -- i'd like a full plume rather than a few wisps that take a few seconds to get going.

The question is -- how do I do it? I've set RelativeWarmupTime but it still looks the same as before

Ok I made a map with a test emitter of it in it check it out.

Code: 
ReletiveWarmupTime=1.0
WarmUpTicksPerSecond=2.0

Particles=18

depending on the particle count the hight 'WarmUpTicksPerSecond' will need to be.

Edit: forgot map attachment :eek:

I don't see a setting called "Particles". I'm using MaxParticles -- will that work?

Bah, I ended up using another mist texture I found in one of the standard packages.
The way that UDN tutorial was written, it sounded like it was a standard UT2003 texture they were using, but just didn;t bother saying where to find it.

You'd be very welcome to write material on the wiki :) I'm slowly building up a "cookbook" page of separate elements that can be combined -- eg different types of location, as that's what I've mastered so far :)
