hrm. it used to work fine for me when i used the internal particles before scrapping em and writing my own particle engine. lemme take a gander at my old code. hmm. yup. mines the same. heh. p->color = gEngfuncs.pEfxAPI->R_LookupColor( 173, 112, 220 ); gEngfuncs.pEfxAPI->R_GetPackedColor( &p->packedColor, p->color );
oh well, make a particle engine (whoever it was that asked in the first place) =) -omega Blackened Interactive http://www.nofadz.com/blackened IRC: irc.gamesnet.net channel: #blackened-interactive Assistant Coder, Underhive (http://www.underhive.com) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Lewis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2001 1:42 AM Subject: [hlcoders] Particle Colors? > I don't think the color functions from the TriAPI are going to work with the > particle system.
