or just SFM particle editor
[EDITLINE]16 October 2017[/EDITLINE]
It's in every Source game, not just SFM apparently

Never knew about that, thanks I'll check it out!
[QUOTE=Ubre;52784208]Never knew about that, thanks I'll check it out![/QUOTE]
launch the game with -tools
The particle editor was added in episode 2, and has been in every source game since. You can use all the particle editors from any game released before left4dead.
Well I was making a combine flamethrower thing but I ended up making a weld-your-own-3d-painting-gun.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but the downside with parallax corrected cubemaps is that it requires a shape that defines the room in the shader. A very simple and easy shape is a square or sphere as they can be mathematically represented in a shader with just a few numbers. Square is just min and max vectors (maybe also rotation), sphere is point and size, etc.
Maybe this can be mostly automated in source engine with the data the BSP compiler generates. I think in CryEngine (which tries to be realtime and no compiling) requires artists to place or at least adjust these things to make it look more correct.
Spent some time scanning maps for logic_relay's, finding their names and made StormFox trigger them. Also placing some logic behind what light_spot's to turn on/off.

(Those effects aren't mine. Its the map-creators. I'm just triggering them)
Added it to the display, along with some helpful tips.

And now working on a way to display maps your client have loaded.

Still unsure if I should add another CAMI permission for map-change or just copy the maps name to the player.
(The star means the map got a logic_trigger for day/night)

That's not a "fucky" method as much as it is just making a new shader.

Too bad gmod will probably never get new shaders. There's a lot of broken/missing stuff that would be incredibly useful to have.
$selfillumfresnel is broken, you can't really make edge fresnel with it.
portal 2 added
$phongdisablehalflambert which is useful for more stylized effects. Also it allows a non-broken lightwarp with it.
$envmaplightscale multiplies the level's lightmaps with the env map (or something like that) Allows for bright cubemaps to display properly in darker areas.
Wet dream stuff would be tf2's lightmaps on models stuff, and normal maps with staticproplighting from CS:GO.

I really wish MadParakeet could share how he got custom shaders working.
I don't really understand what's holding anyone back from shaders. There's just been a lot of dodging the question with non-specific answers (save for Garry, who said he wasn't sure how to make things compatible for Mac/Linux users). It just seems like no one even wants to touch it.

fyi, voxelate is completely open source. I've recently fixed up shaders on windows on the dev branch.

ShouldCollide should not be that much of a performance hit if you are using it correctly. You can look into using a [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Logic_collision_pair"]logic_collision_pair[/URL], but it only works between two entities.

This lets you add rarities and chance for the item to spawn with the specified rarity in a very simple and easy way. Its also very easy to add new modifiers for the weapons such as reloading speed etc.

Next up is adding the ability to set skins and color to the weapons aswell as adding stuff like flammable bullets and some sick effect magic.

That looks really nice! Is every single version of each weapon a custom SWEP or is the rarity and stats set as soon as you spawn it? Also can there be a Rare Rapid Fire etc.?
[QUOTE=Ubre;52792399]That looks really nice! Is every single version of each weapon a custom SWEP or is the rarity and stats set as soon as you spawn it? Also can there be a Rare Rapid Fire etc.?[/QUOTE]
If I were to make a Rare Rapid Fire rarity which only takes a few seconds, yes. Otherwise, no.
The weapons are the default FAS:2 weapons with no changes whatsoever to the weapons code at all.
Spawning the weapon gives it a random rarity instantly based on the chances and the rarity stays with the weapon at all times, even when dropped! (Unless there is some kind of system that removes the weapons actual entity)

Is going through a table too slow and incorrect?
This is what my shouldCollide calls (isSameCell)
[CODE]function terrainExistsInCell(x, y, z, tab, ent)
if !x then
x = 0
end
if !y then
y = 0
end
if !z then
z = 0
end
for _,e in pairs(table.GetKeys(tab)) do
if (x .. "," .. y .. "," .. z) == e then
if tab[e]["Ground"] == ent:EntIndex() then
return true
end
if tab[e]["Random Spawn 1"] == ent:EntIndex() then
return true
end
if tab[e]["Random Spawn 2"] == ent:EntIndex() then
return true
end
end
end
return false
end
function isSameCell(ent, ent2)
if ent:GetClass() == "func_brush" or ent:GetClass() == "prop_dynamic" then
return terrainExistsInCell(ent2.CurX, ent2.CurY, ent2.CurZ, generatedCells, ent)
elseif ent2:GetClass() == "func_brush" or ent2:GetClass() == "prop_dynamic" then
return terrainExistsInCell(ent.CurX, ent.CurY, ent.CurZ, generatedCells, ent2)
end
checkValidCellData(ent)
checkValidCellData(ent2)
if ent.CurX != ent2.CurX or ent.CurY != ent2.CurY or ent.CurZ != ent2.CurZ then
return false
else
return true
end
end[/CODE]
Can I get similar functionality using the collision pair?
Could you PM me the structure of generatedCells table? Your loop looks very slow.
