New and improved Particle Engine

Post by jSoftApps »

Hey guys, I have gone to the trouble of redoing some of the particle textures for the jSoft Apps Game Engine and I wanted to show you some screenshots of them.
Here's Fire and Smoke (that's all I have done yet)

I love it!!!
IDEA: be able to choice what particle you wan to choose, EX: Jsofts particles, or Sandbox's default Particles.

P.S. you have some sound error's and a "No Texture Error."

Cheers,
Matthew

Thanks Matthew! I am still fixing the no texture/sound errors as my engine is far from complete. I will soon post some other particle effects.

Just out of curiosity, was this an actual engine edit, or did you edit one of the particle image files?

ah, I see. I love the new look, and would really like to see it in the next release of PAS. That, or I'll have to use your engine.

I might be nice enough to let Hirato use it (even though I really like his, I just wanted to add a more realistic feel to it. What particle do you like the most out of the ones I have done so far?

I think the fire + smoke one looks awesome. It would also be very useful. I likes :)
Maybe you ould make a "blowing leaves" particle effect with light smoke, to look like wind.

what about rain? with splash particles too (when they land, when landing on water maybe different? (if you combine modifying water and rain to blend together really good, it'd be even better ;)))
