Created Issue: Particles not rendering with no texture (Editor issue?) [32532]

xexuxjy — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 16:20:30 GMT

Hiyas,

I'm not sure if it's intentional but particles with no texture don't render because of this line in AbstractEmitter , but if you view them in the editor they seem to work.

// Skip if the emitter does not have a texture...
if (emitter.ParticleTexture == null)
continue;

Thanks

Commented Issue: Errors in the XML files generated from the editor [31345]

DarkPrisma — Fri, 11 May 2012 09:34:57 GMT

Term
Enabled
and MinimumTriggerPeriod

have errors in the xml when saved by the editor.

In Term and MinimumTriggerPeriod the numbers use a ',' instead of a '.' as decimal seperator.
In Enabled "True" is wrong. It should be "true" instead.

its still unfixed in branch 4.0

Closed Issue: EmitBothWays in LineEmitter is always active [31374]

JimJams — Tue, 08 May 2012 13:07:15 GMT

I set property Rectilinear=true and EmitBothWays= false.
But particles are always emmited in both ways.

Commented Feature: Support animated textures [31002]

Sizzling — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:58:29 GMT

Can we cycle textures from a texture atlas?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: Sizzling **

Please add support for this or if it is already a feature, please help. Is it otherwise easy or hard/possible to implement this feature ourselves?

Otherwise the editor seems sweet! Cheers.

Created Issue: Error in a AbstractEmitter.cs [32531]

Russlan — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:35:39 GMT

In a AbstractEmitter.cs class there is in a non unsave section a arror

particle.EffectProxyIndex = context.Index;

should be

particle.EffectProxyIndex = context.ProxyIndex;

This is not so. Just my error.

Commented Issue: Cooldown controller is worthless [31325]

Doom666 — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:39:18 GMT

Cooldown controllers are worthless because they will be shared among every instance of a particle system. IE: with 7 campfires all using the same emitter, the cooldown controller will be updated 7 times.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: Doom666 **

I've a similar problem with proxys... I think the cooldown timer should be different for each proxy ?

Commented Issue: Issues with rendering effects [31188]

DarkPrisma — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:55:16 GMT

Hi all,

I have 2 issues with regard to rendering effects.

1.
I have a spritebatch.Begin(Deferred, AlphaBlend) call at beginning of my drawing routine. I draw all sprites, text, etc first. The the effects follow (still within the same spritebatch). The effects are rendered behind some sprites and in front of others!!

2.
I created a simple circle emitter using the LensFlare texture using alphablend. When viewing in the editor it appears fine. When rendering during the game it looks like there's no alphablending because the particles have a black bacground.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ivan

PS I'm using MPE 3.1 for XNA 4.0
Comments: ** Comment from web user: DarkPrisma **

same here, its only if u use the spriteBatch like:

SpriteBatchRenderer myRenderer;
....
spriteBatch.Begin();
myRenderer.RenderEffect(myEffect, spriteBatch);
spriteBatch.End();

you can test it with the BasicExplosion. You will get white clouds :(

Commented Issue: Particles won't disappear [31526]

DarkPrisma — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 08:58:22 GMT

Hi,

I would implement that engine in my game, but I have some problems with it.
If u open the editor and select the basicexplosion, klick on the black panel. Nothing happens.
But after 25 seconds it works.... but the sparks and the smoke wont go. They wont disappear.

I use Win7 64bit and XNA4
Comments: ** Comment from web user: DarkPrisma **

but I need a solution for the ContentPipeline if it is implemented in a XNA-app....

DarkPrisma — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 08:46:25 GMT

They don't work by default. The reason: MinimumTriggerPeriod=25 and MinimumTriggerPeriod=5 is to much.

(Windows7, 32bit, version 3.1 for XNA4.0)

adding this line to Program.cs of the editor, seems to fix the problem :)

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;

DarkPrisma — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 07:56:51 GMT

I wrote that into the AbstractEmitterSerializer class:

string stringValue = input.Xml.ReadElementString("MinimumTriggerPeriod");
float floatValue = Single.Parse(stringValue);

Console.WriteLine("stringValue (" + stringValue + ") floatValue (" + floatValue + ")");

the result was:

stringValue (0.25) floatValue (25)
stringValue (0.25) floatValue (25)
stringValue (0.25) floatValue (25)
stringValue (0.25) floatValue (25)

ok, it seems to be a problem with the ProjectMercury.ContentPipeline.
It compiles the xml files into wrong xnb files...

Commented Issue: Texture assign in Prop Editor [31376]

JimJams — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 07:26:46 GMT

In editor right "click->setTexture" works fine. But if you just change value in prop editor, nothing happends.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: JimJams **

Hi avrDragon. This is by design, the particleTextureAssetName property is the path of the asset in your games content project. There's no way for the editor to know the layout of your content folder structure or file names, so you must input this manually if you want to use the LoadContent method. Clicking SetTexture in the editor is only for design preview, its up to the developer to make sure the right texture is loaded at runtime :-)
