A better G3D Viewer
« on: 25 May 2010, 18:54:49 »
To assist modders in making mod's I've updated the G3d Viewer in Mega-Glest to also now show particles. I'll bundle the updated viewer in the next couple of days (Elimnator is testing it) but it will allow you to edit a Unit's particle XML files and just press a Key in the viewer to see the particle working with a given unit. This should greatly increase the ease of adding particles to Units.

Any additional suggestions are welcome as to how to improve the viewer. (I won';t spend too much time in the viewer right now since we are getting ready to plan for a new multi-player release first).

Thanks Softcoder  :thumbup:

Quick question, is it possible to veiw projectile particles or simply the 'static' particles given off by units?

I think so, I'll try to add the option if its easy enough. I beleive the particle code is quite similae between projectiles and unit particles so if tht is the case it should be a quick addon.
