Particles in WE?
I dont understand.. should they work straight from the WE?
Or do i need to process them somehow in code.
If that is the case can you give me a quick example.

RE: Particles in WE?
you can load a sample particle object from the sdk\data\obj\particle? i dont remember that good

then you'll see that setting parameter is needed to the particles path

That's it yes. You just need an ObjMemx with ObjParticles, then set it as the particle-containter.

Code:
Game::ObjMemx<Game::ObjParticles>    m_Particles;

Game::World.init().setObjType(m_Particles, OBJ_PARTICLES).New("data/AmazingWorld.world");

Like so.

nice! grin have to get busy on the website then smile

btw whats with the physx dll stuff..
people (some testers) have complained that even tho they installed
the latest nvidia drivers that included physx the game still complained about the physx.
Any idea how this should be approached..
Secondly.. do you have any idea if this engine can be in steam?

Hi,

please try these drivers - http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_9.09.1112.html
they're the latest, maybe the one included in graphics driver is older

you can use this link - http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_system_software.html
it always links to the latest physx drivers

Quote:Secondly.. do you have any idea if this engine can be in steam?
what do you mean by that?

RE: Particles in WE?
Would that be Steam as in Valve's game-download portal?

If you want the game to be a single player then you shouldn't need to do anything extra. If you want it as a multi-player on the other hand, that would probably be a bit harder.

As to how you get a game on Steam... This part isn't exactly easy either. Most indie games on Steam won big indie game competitions, like the IGF.

So make a brilliant game and enter competitions.
