I just made 2 quick worlds with just fire and ice and everything worked just fine. We must of missed a setting or something on our actual game world.

I created my own particle in the particle editor called teleport.particle.
I placed it in the world with the base as obj/particle/ice/0.obj.
I set it as OBJ_PARTICLE.
I added the parameters:
particle teleport.particle (the box is checkmarked to override the ice.particle)
teleport mygame2.world

I compared a screenshot of the EE teleport world particle settings to mine & they are identical. The only difference between mine & EE's is I'm using a particle I created & he uses one he created. The second difference is that my particle source is set to mesh. His is set to ball.

Regardless of the teleport particles, I also placed EE's fire particles in the world with no teleport, just as a visual, and it isn't showing up either. They both show up in the world editor play mode but not when we launch the game.

try to render the particles out manually Advanced\2 - Animation, Physics, Rendering\Rendering\15 - Particles.cpp

I took screenshots to show what is going on. You can see that the particles show up in the editor in the first screenshots. I am showing one with a custom particle & one with the EE ice particle (which is what we have set to show up in the game).
Custom particle with particle settings (this particle base is set to "mesh" however it just appears as a fountain of particles) in world editor:
   

EE ice particle with particle settings in world editor:
   

EE fire particle with particle settings in world editor:
   

When you test play via the world editor AND when you actually run the game this is what you see (no particles at all):
   

   

I have updated the visible part of the world multiple times and done a full clean all build all several times in an attempt to correct the problem.

When we use the EE teleport1.world instead of our own mygame.world file the fire particle shows up. The particle settings are identical to ours. The only thing that has changed is the .world file. Any ideas why they are not showing up in our world but do show up in the EE world? We have been wracking our brains for weeks on this, trying to fix it and just can't seem to get anywhere.

I made changes to tutorial with teleport.
I add particle tu Static class, and change ParticleObj class. Here are the file. I can walk into the teleport and i will be moved to next map. You need to add particle to model as an object.

If you run this code you get something like that:

I made some updates. Now It should work better and you can use Statics class to other static object not only to teleports and Particle class to all objParticle.
You need add in WE to your mesh:

Quote:Bool isPart true

If don't find isPart this will be false and you get Static object.
If don't find teleport it will Particle Object no teleport.
Then add:

Quote:addObject->ParticleObj

You must edit it like particle to teleport:

Quote:String particles particle/fire.particle
String teleport World/teleport 2.world

From play:

1) Particle Object
2) Static mesh with particle and teleport
3) Particle with teleport

Nice work. Since we in the discussion of Particle Effects, I would like to ask (forgive if its noob) but could we use 3rd party particle effects such as Pyro Particle Editor or TimelineFX Editor to replace the existing building Esenthel particle editor? Would it work?

TimelineFX: Also uses Bruceys LibXML module so that saved files are stored in the flexible XML format

Pyro: Easy to implement with any graphics engine. At least that is what it says.

I installed and checked source.
In example you have something like that:

Quote:pPyroGraphics = new PyroParticles::CGraphicsDevice_D3D8(g_pd3dDevice, g_pParticleLibrary->GetMaxRenderParticleQuads());

where:

Quote:LPDIRECT3D8 g_pD3D = NULL;

and

Quote:if (FAILED(hResult = g_pD3D->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, g_hWnd,
D3DCREATE_HARDWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING,
&d3dpp, &g_pd3dDevice)))
{
if (FAILED(hResult = g_pD3D->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, g_hWnd,
D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING,
&d3dpp, &g_pd3dDevice)))
{
return hResult;
}
}

So I think you can't make it. But I am not sure.

I see, so there is no other way to integrate these 3rd party particle effects editor then? Oh well, have we would just have create our own particle effect scripts then. Thanks for the reply guys. I found another Particle Editor that very good, its called "Magic Particles" by astralax. I think their work is not bad, and worth to look at it guys if you have the time.

By the way, could you advice me how can we make the particle effect such as the following picture?



The Particle Effect for AoE (Area of Effect) magics buff looks stunning and see the following:



The swords swings particle effect is awesome. Any advice on how we could achieve or implement the awesome particle effects in Esenthel if without using any 3rd Party Software?

both looks like decals to me

And check this too:
30 - Swing Trail Effect.cpp

Oh, so its not a particle effect? If decal, how could we attached it to an object like those in the picture? Any advice or tips on the steps?

Aha thanks. Will check it out.

It's not attached to objects it's pos is placed underneath them.
decal.matrix.pos = (target vec);

eg if its area of effect

there is plenty of ways to make this,
you can do this with particles as well placing them at targets and spawn fire, etc on them.

Code:

if(target inside)
{
   FREPD(amounttargets,targets)
      //create decals according to amount of targets inside range
      FREPD(decatargets,decals)
     decal[i].matrix.pos= amounttargets;

OH ok. Thanks Zervox!
