coronas, particles and effects

Just looking at the new particle effects in JDoom, I was wondering if we could do similar with coronas or perhaps particles as a idea for future implementation

We can now make different size and coloured coronas to attach to almost anything, (read the thread titled "rellik") If im not correct hurdler? we can also manipulate the light they give off as seen by relliks great maps...

one question would be is can we change the shape of coronas, other than the funny circle-sphereical shape, whether importing a certain type of image in a wad or some other method....

oh and could you send me that skinbitch file rellik, someone (little brothers) deleted one of my folders which contained it..

You can use setcorona in FS. You can look at Nimrod or Rellik's movie preview thing. I also have a tutorial of sorts on my page under the tutorials somewhere...

Skinbitch file? Not ringin any bells. Heh, what was it for?

Mmmm, particles would be so cool. We could make cool spark effects and stuff.

yea if the coronal sphere could also have the option in fraggle to be a 64x8x8 units tall vertical cube and another that could be just 8x64x64 cube and used as a flat if you know what im getting at , i think it would be really cool..
i guess as long as there wouldn't be a big memory issue with it..

Okay, i've been having this problem with the coronas in which it's just a big circle around the source of the corona, REALLY ugly/annoying. However, in different ports the coronas work perfectly. Is there a fix for this? I do have the latest version btw.

Heh, I don't really like coronas (unless it's the beer ) so I just turn them off entirely.

well if you scripting the color and you just want the coronal sphere and not the glow around it..

setcorona(GREENSMALL_L, CORONA_COLOR, "6600CCFF");
setcorona(GREENSMALL_L, LIGHT_COLOR, "020202FF");

in this i used the small green tourch and made its frames cyan , blah ,blah ,blah , etc - the coronal sphere is purple blue which i used for a black light effect and the what would be the glow around the sphere is an almost total black and will not be visible in the map..
so all you see is a purple sphere no glow around it
you can do just the opposite with the hex color to have the glow and no sphere..

other than that im not sure , i cant seem to turn coronal glow down from in game unless theres some unknown console command or something , you would think there would be an option seems how you can turn the conronals off but yet still have a glow..

relik:
when using your tut for gradient lighting in legacy, the lighting looks good in the screenies but in the game when i test it it just flickers when i move around, like the lighting disappears and reappears randomly lokking really crappy. How did you get your s to work?

is it in wall or in foor or cieling ?
where ever its at it may not be deep enough in , maybe try moving it around a little bit - the chicks love that talk, i cover them with a 3d floor 281..
ok i'll hush , i know the question was directed to rellik..

but for an exsample heres a "small" 2 map dm level i just released :P

right click and save as..
plug plug heheehe..

Iori maybe just mail me teh wad and I'll take a look. It's easier to see what's what when you can look right at it.

ok relik thnx. I'll have to make just a test map cause i was just trying out the effect. Can i dl a sample map from your site?

Unfortunately, the gradient light is built around a bug.... the transparent textures should not be affected by the dynamic light but they are. This makes any texture with transparencies in it look wierd when lit (e.g. girders and stuff.

You will get less of the problem if you have fewer transparent lines lit by the light-casting thing. If you have over 2 lines being drawn over eachother it will really start flickering badly.

Try sticking to shapes which aren't too complex, this way you'll get a more consistent cool looking effect.

By the way rellik, did you coin the term gradient lighting? I like it.
