I coded a Partikle Editor for the Irrlicht Engine.

You can download it here.

Its not finished, but I think it will be in a few days.
I will write a little Tutorial how to read the Particle Data and how to use the editor. if you are intrested in you can try it out now.

What's it do? Let you change a particle emmiter dynamically to try stuff out? Something else?

I think its very difficult to create big Particle Effekt by typing in some values into the code. with the editor you can create effekts (with more than one emitter!) and edit them. and you can see the result in a window.

if you create a effect you can save it and load into the engine (with a class that i will include in version 1.0).

I'll post some pictures to show what is able to do with the editor.[/img]

Whoa! Thanks for this, I was planning on coding one to use with my Galactic Racer game but this'll do greatly

(with an editor it'll shorten the time of me messing with particle effects)

hm, i can't seem to get it to run. When i run the program after install, i get a message box saying something about it being illegal to distribute w/ micro vis c++ into edition. And then the program loads and crashes.

Thanks in advance

How do you load cube.3ds, or do you? If you do, do you use relative path names, or did you specify the full directory location?

DarkWood_Neo · Post by **DarkWood_Neo** » Wed Jan 07, 2004 5:57 pm

the cubic.3ds path is relative.

i think the problem is fixed. i updated the download. please try it out.

It is fixed!

However, it seems to hog all my system resources.. other Irrlicht programs don't seem to do this.. any idea why?

ok i fixed some problems:

- shutdown bug
- memory-bug, now it should run with not all the memory of the ram

there are some bug:

- saving and loading
- gravity affector

I' ll release a newer version this evening, with some more features:

- loading
- saving
- compiling
- Fade Out Affektor
- Gravity Affektor

features planned:

- a timeline
- new special effects
