| tansell | and example of a moving particle effect would include the Lexx's weapon | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Landon | ok | 00:01 |
| tansell | another example would be having a laser which has a pulse go along a guiding beam | 00:03 |
| tansell | Landon, know what I mean? | 00:03 |
| Landon | the main problem I see with using particle effects as weapons (without moving the point or something similar) is that they're hard to control, like a pulse laser, I'm not sure how I'd get it to stop at the target ship | 00:03 |
| Landon | yeah, I gotcha now | 00:04 |
| Landon | just trying to figure out how to implement these | 00:04 |
| *** nebajoth is now known as nebaway | 00:04 | |
| tansell | Landon, the same way you get torpedo's to stop? | 00:04 |
| Landon | well torpedoes would be attached to a scenenode | 00:04 |
| tansell | you also can put the particle effects in a bounding box right? | 00:04 |
| Landon | I dont think I have such fine grain control over particles though (particle systems yes, but not particles) | 00:05 |
| Landon | yeah | 00:05 |
| tansell | http://www.game-cat.com/ogre/pe/docs/PETutorial.htm | 00:05 |
| tpb | <http://ln-s.net/3nsl> (at www.game-cat.com) | 00:05 |
| tansell | so a few stray particle is not a real problem | 00:05 |
| tansell | make the "particle box" stop half way through the target | 00:06 |
| Landon | well, it's not so much a few stray particles as "the beam doesn't reach the ship" and "the beam overshoots the ship" | 00:06 |
| Landon | well, the way I'm thinking of it for some weapons is that the emitter is near the attacker | 00:06 |
| Landon | and emits particles in the direction of the target | 00:07 |
| Landon | some weapons though, I could fly an emitter around towards the target | 00:07 |
| Landon | that's simple enough | 00:07 |
| tansell | Landon, so looking at that particle editor | 00:07 |
| tansell | they don't seem to have any problems having a start/stop position of the particles | 00:08 |
| Landon | it sort of looks like they tweak the time_to_live | 00:08 |
| Landon | hm, doable, since I know the velocity, seems finicky | 00:09 |
| tansell | I'm pretty sure you can define a box which causes the particles to die if they leave it | 00:09 |

| tansell | Landon, | 00:21 |
| tansell | DeflectorPlane Affector | 00:21 |
| tansell | This affector defines a plane which deflects particles which collide with it | 00:21 |
| tansell | Landon, poke? | 00:24 |
| tansell | you could also use other Affectors to great effect | 00:24 |
| tansell | like the Gravity Affector which draw particles towards a point | 00:24 |
| Landon | yeah, playing with a particle editor now | 00:25 |
| tansell | looks like there is also a thing called | 00:28 |
| tansell | Particle Accelerator | 00:28 |
| tansell | which might help too | 00:28 |
| Landon | where do you see that? | 00:29 |
| tansell | http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Particle_Accelerator | 00:32 |
| tpb | <http://ln-s.net/3nt3> (at www.ogre3d.org) | 00:32 |
| tansell | it seems to be windows only :( | 00:32 |
| Landon | yeah, I've been using acidparticle | 00:32 |
| Landon | theoretically it can be used on linux too, but I haven't managed to get it to compile against ogre right | 00:32 |
| tansell | oh | 00:36 |
| *** reac has quit IRC | 00:46 | |
| tansell | Landon, so have we got torpedos? | 00:46 |
| Landon | sort of | 00:47 |
| Landon | I've got particles that shoot from the ship and spew exhaust-like particles | 00:47 |
| tansell | so now you just need to make a variety of them? | 00:49 |
| Landon | yeah | 00:49 |
| tansell | you know what my next question is going to be :P | 00:50 |
| Landon | screenshots? | 00:51 |
| Landon | I don't have them in the client yet, I'm still tweaking values in the particle editor | 00:51 |

| Greywhind | llnz: http://pastebin.com/d44aaa88d | 21:03 |
| tpb | Title: pastebin - collaborative debugging tool (at pastebin.com) | 21:03 |
| Greywhind | llnz: fleet build orders work though | 21:03 |
| Greywhind | llnz: also, uh, the client currently assumes there will be at least one galaxy inside the universe, otherwise it doesn't know what is a top level object and what isn't, so it draws planets and fleets as top-level in RFTS instead of systems | 21:05 |
| llnz | Greywhind: well... in that case, the client is wrong | 21:05 |
| llnz | TP04 solves these problems, along with the fixed types (universe, galaxy, system, planet, fleet) | 21:06 |
| Greywhind | llnz: well, it can also assume anything that has more than just a position and some informational properties is not a galaxy, but apparently systems in RFTS have only positional properties? | 21:08 |
| llnz | i don't remember | 21:09 |
| llnz | rfts needs some love | 21:09 |
| llnz | it's actually broken game-play wise currently | 21:09 |
| Greywhind | ok | 21:09 |
| Greywhind | because i don't really know any other good way to determine what to draw - there's no set "draw this" type | 21:09 |
