[1.3.2] Particle Effect help [SOLVED]

[_bau5]

Looking to add my own custom textured particles to the game. Others have had success, but I can't quite get it.

 

Here's what i've got:

 

My effect that extends EntityFX

 

public TestEffect(World par1World, double par2, double par4, double par6, double par8, double par10, double par12) 
{
	super(par1World, par2, par4, par6, par8, par10, par12);
	this.particleMaxAge = 10000;
	this.worldObj = par1World;
	this.setParticleTextureIndex(48);
	coolDown = 200;
}
public String getTexture()
{
	return Alptraum.baseTextureFile + "/p.png";
}
    public void renderParticle(Tessellator par1Tessellator, float par2, float par3, float par4, float par5, float par6, float par7)
    {
    	ForgeHooksClient.bindTexture(getTexture(), 0);
    	float var8 = (float)(this.getParticleTextureIndex() % 16) / 16.0F;
        float var9 = var8 + 0.0624375F;
        float var10 = (float)(this.getParticleTextureIndex() / 16) / 16.0F;
        float var11 = var10 + 0.0624375F;
        float var12 = 0.1F * this.particleScale;
        float var13 = (float)(this.prevPosX + (this.posX - this.prevPosX) * (double)par2 - interpPosX);
        float var14 = (float)(this.prevPosY + (this.posY - this.prevPosY) * (double)par2 - interpPosY);
        float var15 = (float)(this.prevPosZ + (this.posZ - this.prevPosZ) * (double)par2 - interpPosZ);
        float var16 = 1.0F;
        par1Tessellator.setColorOpaque_F(this.particleRed * var16, this.particleGreen * var16, this.particleBlue * var16);
        par1Tessellator.addVertexWithUV((double)(var13 - par3 * var12 - par6 * var12), (double)(var14 - par4 * var12), (double)(var15 - par5 * var12 - par7 * var12), (double)var9, (double)var11);
        par1Tessellator.addVertexWithUV((double)(var13 - par3 * var12 + par6 * var12), (double)(var14 + par4 * var12), (double)(var15 - par5 * var12 + par7 * var12), (double)var9, (double)var10);
        par1Tessellator.addVertexWithUV((double)(var13 + par3 * var12 + par6 * var12), (double)(var14 + par4 * var12), (double)(var15 + par5 * var12 + par7 * var12), (double)var8, (double)var10);
        par1Tessellator.addVertexWithUV((double)(var13 + par3 * var12 - par6 * var12), (double)(var14 - par4 * var12), (double)(var15 + par5 * var12 - par7 * var12), (double)var8, (double)var11);
    }

 

Adding the effect itself to the game when it is tried to spawn:

 

EntityFX var0 = null;
		Alptraum.mc.effectRenderer.addEffect(var0 = new TestEffect(Alptraum.mc.theWorld, Alptraum.mc.theWorld.getSpawnPoint().posX, Alptraum.mc.theWorld.getSpawnPoint().posY, Alptraum.mc.theWorld.getSpawnPoint().posZ, 0F, 0F, 0F));
		world.spawnEntityInWorld(new TestEffect(world, ep.posX, ep.posY, ep.posZ, 0F, 0F, 0F));

 

Any insight would be awesome, thanks.

 

Also, this is where i followed someone's solution:

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1213462-adding-custom-texture-to-custom-particle-effect/

 

EDIT: Just as a note, they're rendering as white boxes in game. I know the texture is in the right place, already debugged that.

Pretty sure that 'Alptraum' does not exist in vanilla...

What are you referring to?

[OvermindDL1]

In other words, what 'is' Alptraum? 

[_bau5]

That's the name of my core class. I've initialized some heavily used variables there.

[SanAndreaP]

You shouldn't use world.spawnEntityInWorld for particles. Just use Alptraum.mc.effectRenderer.addEffect

[_bau5]

You shouldn't use world.spawnEntityInWorld for particles. Just use Alptraum.mc.effectRenderer.addEffect

That will spawn them in the world as well?

[SanAndreaP]

Works for me, but only on the client in some cases. If I apply some code for the server, the game crashes. Dunno why I have to figure out how to spawn the particles on a server.

[_bau5]

Sorry, just clarifying. Once again, the effectRenderer.addEffect will also spawn the particle at the same time?

[SanAndreaP]

Sorry, just clarifying. Once again, the effectRenderer.addEffect will also spawn the particle at the same time?

 

Yup, it's how the vanilla code works.

[_bau5]

You're right, that works! Thanks. The only issue is now that I can't see it at all. I know its spawning and I know it's near me, just can't see it. I also know that it is finding the texture because it's overriding the other particles in the game (I know how to stop that, I was just making sure it was successfully finding my particle sprite sheet).

 

Here's my particle's class. Sorry for the persistent problem guys

How do you spawn the particles exactly or better saying what triggers the spawn of particles? Do you have this issue on the Client or do you test on a server?

[_bau5]

Wow...one of the derpiest mistakes I've made...I had the coords for the spawn point inputted as the place to spawn the particle....

 

All working now....thanks man, thanks a lot.
