I just tried this out, and it works exactly like I hoped. All the particles properties, like gravity and direction are all relative to the emitter not the world, so this works perfectly. Now you don't need to create a new smoke particle blowing east slightly, just rotate it's emitter and you're all set.

 

Whoever did that (Greebo?) thank you so much, I can now complete my waterfall since I started working on it a year ago. <3 :wub:

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Wha ... I was trying this just yesterday and it didn't work for me!

 

I wanted a stream of water coming down, like from a faucet, but the only one that fit was a Doom3 one, and for some reasons their drip particles want to fall *up*. So I tried rotating the emitter upside down, but it would only rotate about the z-axis, not the x or y. Am I doing something wrong?

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

The release build you are using does not have this fix, you'll have to wait for Greebo or someone else to release a new package, or download and compile the source yourself ;)

Which is what I do.

 

EDIT: Okay I just checked and the latest release 21/06/2009 DarkRadiant 0.10.0 is supposed to have this, get it here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/darkradia...iant-0.10.0.exe

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

No problem, you're welcome. :) There are a lot of changes I was meaning to do to the entity class hierarchy, but this will take some time...

 

Btw, if you're encountering (and fixing) any bugs in XRealRadiant which could also affect D3 editing, could you give us a heads-up? I'm happy to merge this back in if it applies for us.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
