Hi Alessandro, The .ive format doesn't support the osgParticle NodeKit. The .ive format is actually pretty limited as it's not extensible other than by hacking the plugin directly.
You are now much better off using the .osgb native binary file format, it entirely replaces the functionality of .ive and is extensible and handles fowards/backwards comtability far better thanks to being based on the new serializers. Thanks to the extensibility osgParticle and the other NodeKits are supported by the new .osgb format. I would recommend moving to svn/trunk or OSG-3.0 branch or OSG-3.0.0-rc1 as they all offer refinements to the new serailizers. When you upgrade to any of these versions you won't get any changes to the .ive plugin - this is deperecated and will never support osgParticle. Robert.
