Original post :

This is my first post, so hello to all members of the Irrlicht community

I've been lurking for a while, I've found the forums a big help in my personal irr-project, and decided to give something back to the community. I took the day off from my bigger project to start writing a particle editor for it, that was before I searched the forums and discovered at least one other is in the works.. Anyway, I've decided that I'll release the full source of the editor when I'm "finished" with it, so people can add/change things to their liking. I'll also drop a few compiled versions for those who doesn't want to compile the project

FYI. I'm more of an arist than a programmer, but coding has been my hobby for about as long as drawing has.

A couple of screenshots of what I've got so far:

A few things I intend to add:

• Saving & loading particle systems, presets etc. to an xml-style format.
  Saving as c++ code.
  Loading of custom backgrounds, for interactive placement of particle nodes. (this I already have in my bigger project)

Hopefully I'll have most of that fixed in a day or two. I'll see if I come up with something else

Comments and suggestions are welcome. Cheers.

looks very nice! well done!

Yep, looks good. Nice work.

I'm also looking forward to this, it looks very nice, keep up the good work!

Cheers guys. I've been bullied around by string pointers and have struggled to make any progress today. Saving/loading of presets is almost done, some weirdness I have to sort out. And saving to c++ is done already.

Hope to post a first version up for you guys to try tomorrow

OK, I think I'm ready to release a first test version, so you guys can have a go with it.



A couple of things to note that may cause the program to behave badly:

• * Change the name before adding a new preset, don't use "Default".
  * Don't include spaces in preset names.

Pressing TAB will change camera between FPS & Maya.

Comments & critique most welcome

That looks awesome! Congratulations!

Thanks JP.

I've fixed so that selected material type actually is saved the the cpp file. I'll see about adding what I had intended, which would be custom scenery and multiple particle systems at this point.

But for now I'll just drop the bin & src for the current version, so here you go guys:

(Download at next page)

I can't run your binary. It says "Application Error - The memory could not be read".

Me Too

Hmm, that's bad news. And I wouldn't know what's causing it with that little information, I've only tried it on one other comp, without problems. Any chance I could get the last output to the console window? Might help if you guys pasted it here. Or does it never get as far as that even?

file to be sent to microsoft: dunno if this will help

Sorry mate, doesn't tell me much, do you get anything from this window:



Does it show up? If it does, what does it say?

//Edit
I'm compiling a debug version and having a look around in the meantime.
I haven't been able to get gdb to work properly with C::B yet, but I'm gonna try something else.

here you go

That's strange. What are your problems?
