Hi everyone,
I spent the last month creating a new tool for ZH modders. It's a FX & ParticleSystem editor. It's basically the Generals particle engine completely re-created in Java. It uses Java3D for rendering so the performance might not be all that great, but chances are if your FX makes it lag it has too many particles anyway ;-) (Exception: Streak particles are kinda slow at the moment) I wrote up a documentation which is included in the archive: I'll keep this tool updated at this dropbox location: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h6psw10k6l5370q/...9b5xnxVRka?dl=0 Edit: New Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h6psw10k6l5370q/...9b5xnxVRka?dl=0 Or grab the file here: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pbuf0lo7y3d8afz/AAAKi5XcXcYSAg5y-VyuuKqua?dl=0" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pbuf0lo7y3d8afz/...y-VyuuKqua?dl=0</a> Alternate download link (outdated): https://app.box.com/s/z65v2xit58rx9dj0qzi7r8kp5y9xtii2 NOTE: If you have a 32bit system, you need to add the contents (4 dll files) of this archive in the ParticleEditor folder (overwrite 1 existing dll) https://app.box.com/s/12yoyr4p63em9g0tq1g2yiflnfxwquwk Screenshot: If you're interested in the source code, let me know. If you've ever looked at the OFS codes, you'll know what to expect ;-) CODE INSTALLATION: ------------- -Install JAVA and make sure it's set up properly (1.7 is required) -Extract this archive wherever you want. No install required -Run the .bat file to launch the program -Go to Settings->Preferences in the menu bar at the top to Configure your File Paths. -Read the documentation for more information Now have fun, create some nice effects and let me know about bugs and feature requests This post has been edited by Stalker: 26 Sep 2020, 17:29 |

I am sad that my request for camera settings went overlooked however... with that, this could even be a generic modder tool and not strictly limited to Generals.
