cool screenshot!

Black particles are in svn now! ( there is no data changed yet, only code!)

needed xml-code in the particle definition:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

<unit-particle-system>
       <texture value="true" path="images/particle.bmp" luminance="true"/>
   <mode value="black"/>
   <primitive value="quad"/>
   <offset x="0" y="0.7" z="0"/>
   <direction x="0.3" y="1" z="0"/>
   <color red="0.1" green="0.1" blue="0.1" alpha="0.33" />

I will have to look at it when I'm at home ( 5 hours from now ). Anyone else has problems or can confirm that its working or not?

Which version did you test? Did you compile it on your own or did you use the linux binary? Maybe something is wrong with the binary release.

Hi, titi! I tested version is: megaglest3.2.4-1-beta3_linux, I provide you with the modification method in accordance with modified xml file, but there has been no black particle effects, is still before the white particle effects!

titi · « **Reply #3 on:** 23 February 2010, 12:16:26 »

now I know whats wrong:

you have to set the color to black( or nearly black ) if you want to see an effect:

<color red="0.1" green="0.1" blue="0.1" alpha="0.33" />

In accordance with the changes you have just given way, I just modified the campfire.xml documents, fire_particles.xml and fire_particles2.xml it should also be amended???

I modified the black particle effects are still there!

titi · « **Reply #5 on:** 23 February 2010, 12:38:04 »

I don't understand anything you are talking about :/
But the changes have to be made in smoke_particles.xml

Super Tom · « **Reply #6 on:** 23 February 2010, 12:42:37 »

I modified the smoke_particles.xml, but did not produce the black particle effects! titi,help me! thank you!

titi · « **Reply #7 on:** 23 February 2010, 12:45:42 »

You have to wait now until I can verify it.

Super Tom · « **Reply #8 on:** 23 February 2010, 12:52:37 »

By the way: Would you please provide firegolem fire red particle effect, I like it, I think the campfire produced firegolem body is no fire red particle effect, I think it is very strange!

I think that the body must have a fire firegolem red particle effect, thank you!

titi · « **Reply #9 on:** 23 February 2010, 13:01:23 »

Super Tom · « **Reply #10 on:** 23 February 2010, 13:06:00 »

ElimiNator · « **Reply #11 on:** 23 February 2010, 13:24:49 »

Don't know whats rong with tom.

Super Tom · « **Reply #12 on:** 23 February 2010, 13:26:41 »

Which version did you test? Did you compile it on your own or did you use the linux binary?

Super Tom · « **Reply #13 on:** 23 February 2010, 13:45:49 »

titi, please help me, I need your help!

ElimiNator · « **Reply #14 on:** 23 February 2010, 13:50:16 »

Stop posting tom, he knows about your prob.
And I was using the linux one.

Edit the particle image itself to be the color you need, IIRC the one you're using is designed for the original modes and wouldn't work properly for the new blend functions.

titi · « **Reply #16 on:** 23 February 2010, 15:18:46 »

???
There is no need to edit the particle image. This is only used for the alpha calculation or am I wrong?

ElimiNator · « **Reply #17 on:** 23 February 2010, 18:00:53 »

All I know is that I did what Titi said and it worked.

titi · « **Reply #18 on:** 23 February 2010, 21:48:56 »

Now i have a problem!

Can someone please verify it, its probably only my grafphics card driver:
Choose tileset winterforest( it has fog enabled ) and look at the black particles ( you will need some of course ).

For me the result looks really strange!

ElimiNator · « **Reply #19 on:** 23 February 2010, 22:14:32 »

ok Ill look.

titi · « **Reply #20 on:** 23 February 2010, 22:32:10 »

found it! It will be fixed with the next version!

I have to set
glDisable(GL_FOG);
for the particle rendering. I think this bug was in original glest too but you didn't really saw it, but the fire of a building was burning too bright in tileset winter forest

ElimiNator · « **Reply #21 on:** 23 February 2010, 22:54:51 »

This is what it looked like to me,

titi · « **Reply #22 on:** 23 February 2010, 23:41:56 »

Not excatly the problem I see but I think the flames in the front are too bright compared to other tilesets.
The other problem might be a problem of my gfx card driver ( an older nvidia one ) but i think it will look much better with my fix.
You will see ( but I will not checkin for this single line now )
