Particle Editor (current version: debug 0.2.162)

This error is always due to a wrong Irrlicht.dll. Choose the dll that came with the editor, or the original Irrlicht one. If you made some changes to the dll yourself you cannot use it anymore for other programs.

I didn't change the DLL though, I'm using the origional Irrlicht one. Maybe it's built for a version of irrlicht before 1.0?

On a side note, I can't compile anything on my laptop suddenly. It compiles fine, but it won't run. It runs without error, but does nothing, and I'm left with just the "Press enter to continue" of Code::Blocks. (I also tried with Dev C++, and I get really random build failure. Mostly file system errors).

My desktop, with the exact same setup, builds fine.

Think the two are related?

A fragmented hdd perhaps? Might be a good idéa to run an analysis on your disk.

this is a really cool stuff!
i'm having fun with this

but my computer is quite slow,

if you add a feature so that user can limit FPS (say 10 for default...)..
that would be great.

and i believe that is not so hard to do.

Hi, I can't get the files. Links are dead.

The most extended Irrlicht lib/tools links are always dead if you come late.

deesine is still around and he is working on his particle editor, give him a shout through the PMs.

Yup, still around. I had intended to post some updates for the editor in a while, but I still haven't gotten far enough to release a new version. Just upgrading to a newer Irrlicht version and fixing compiler warnings etc, I'll probably give the GUI a workover as well. It's kinda cluttered and hard to work with atm.

Here's a link to the latest released version (includes win exe, media, src, but not the irrlicht dll): Particle Editor 0.2
Use at your own risk

hi Deesine,
Is it allright if I use your code in my game editor?
My game etc is under zlib like licience compatible with irrlicht.

Sure, go ahead.

Particle Editor debug build 0.2.161: Grab it here
Compiled with Irrlicht 1.3, update for 1.3.1 soon, hopefully

The save to cpp in this version now saves all the particle systems in the scene to a document like this:

Code: Select all

//! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//! Particle system ID: 0
//! Particle system name: wf_base_1

	scene::IParticleSystemSceneNode* p = scenemgr->addParticleSystemSceneNode();

	p->setParticleSize(core::dimension2d<f32>(5.0f, 4.0f));

	scene::IParticleEmitter* em = p->createBoxEmitter(
	        core::aabbox3d<f32>(-1,-1,-1,1,1,1),
	        core::vector3df(0.000f,0.006f,0.003f),
	        250,400, video::SColor(0, 0, 0, 0),video::SColor(0, 41, 74, 90), 1500, 3500);
        
	p->setEmitter(em); 
	em->drop();

	scene::IParticleAffector* paf = p->createFadeOutParticleAffector();
	p->addAffector(paf);
	paf->drop();

	ps->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
	ps->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("D:\Dev\My Projects\Irrlicht Particle Editor\bin\textures\particles\Dee_FX_64x64_25.tga"));
	ps->setMaterialType(video::TRANSPARENT_VERTEX_ALPHA);

//! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//! Particle system ID: 1
//! Particle system name: wf_base_2

	scene::IParticleSystemSceneNode* p = scenemgr->addParticleSystemSceneNode();

	p->setParticleSize(core::dimension2d<f32>(5.0f, 4.0f));

	scene::IParticleEmitter* em = p->createBoxEmitter(
	        core::aabbox3d<f32>(-1,-1,-1,1,1,1),
	        core::vector3df(0.000f,0.006f,0.003f),
	        250,400, video::SColor(0, 0, 0, 0),video::SColor(0, 41, 74, 90), 1500, 3500);
        
	p->setEmitter(em); 
	em->drop();

	scene::IParticleAffector* paf = p->createFadeOutParticleAffector();
	p->addAffector(paf);
	paf->drop();

	ps->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
	ps->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("D:\Dev\My Projects\Irrlicht Particle Editor\bin\textures\particles\Dee_FX_64x64_25.tga"));
	ps->setMaterialType(video::TRANSPARENT_VERTEX_ALPHA);

//! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//! Particle system ID: 2
//! Particle system name: wf_base_3

et.c...

There's a few major bugs I'm very well aware of, such as
1) The GUI will stop responding at times when rotating the camera etc, can only be resolved by restarting the program. Don't know what causes this ATM.
2) The toolbox isn't updated with previous settings when hiding/showing again.

A major feature I need to implement is saving and loading a scene so you wont have to restart from scratch everytime, for instance when working on something like this:

Comments on features and bugs is welcome.
