[Need Help Again]Particle effect is dark?

[Ellbelly]

I have made a custom particle and got a custom texture for it but sometimes when I load up my minecraft the custom particle is really dark And I don't know why?

 

How the particle should look:

 

How the particle looks when it has the dark glitch:

 

EntityFX Class:

What version of Forge and Minecraft are you using?

[Ellbelly]

What version of Forge and Minecraft are you using?

 

Minecraft Version 1.6.2

FML Version 6.2.35.804

Minecraft Forge 9.10.0.804

[Ellbelly]

I updated to the latest forge and I'm pretty sure its fixed now Yay

 

Nope that didn't fix it

[Ellbelly]

Does any one have any idea?

[GotoLink]

Did you copied that code from another class instead of extending said class ? 

[Ellbelly]

Yes... does it make any difference.

[GotoLink]

Yes because it is better to extend classes.

And sometimes vanilla classes are used in special cases where they are expected to work, which you may not fulfil.

Vanilla EntityFX are spawned in RenderGlobal, check if anything special happens for the class you copied over.

 

I would investigate getBrightness(int) or getBrightnessForRender(int) if i were you.
