acidparticle - crossplatform open-source particle editor

[karooolek]

ok,
i've installed new ogre (1.6.2) and program runs, but: nothing seems to happen in the left - OpenGL - window...
what can be wrong? wxWidgets installation? ogre config files? openGL installation?

[nikki]

Same problem with me. I've built it fine, and it runs too, but nothing appears in the '3d window'.

I'm trying under Arch Linux.

Is it using old format particle scripts?
All scripts must have particle_system prefix.

[nikki]

Yup, they have the prefix. I think it's a wxWidgets drawing problem. Any menus etc. that I open up 'are left behind' in the window after I close them.

[nikki]

Yay! The fix mentioned in this reply of the same topic works!

[igrok]

The server hosting the download files has failed!

Could someone please PM me to arrange transfer of the file? I can arrange a more permanent storage server if requested.

And I was so excited to find a decent particle editor for Linux! I just spent a few days trying to upgrade Particle Editor for a recent version of Ogre. It's not worth it...

[nikki]

Ok, I put up the Linux version here. You might want to 'make distclean' and rerun autogen to create the configure scripts.

[igrok]

Excellent. Thank you!

I'm up and running, but had to make one small patch. I don't know if the OGRE API changed or if some compilers just fix this without complaining? Ogre::Root::getAvailableRenderers() returns a pointer to a std::vector.
