particle pannel patch

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source
1

I was looking at the particle pannel. I am looking to integrate my particle system more with the panda3d’s particle system. While working on particle pannel it crashed alot, but i think a few simple fixes fix about 90% of the crashes:

(mainly the int cap, and other little caps)

As i work more with it i could provide other little fixes because it does behave quite oddly at times.

I just started to use the particle panel and evertime I use it, it crashes. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

my little patch prevents it from crashing in most common cases
but i think the particle pannel is junk
