The Powder Toy

Hi guys

I came up with an element idea for my mod, that, when it burns, set fire ctype to potassium (PTSM), and make the fire purple, I've looked through the graphics codes, but not found anything that can help me. Is it possible to do something like this, and how?

Thanks

yes it is very possible to do this, in powder-sim we have code set up so we can change the ctype of fire depending on what is being burn't, and then you go into the fire.c and do something similar to this.


if (cpart->tmp == PT_PTSM)
{
        *firea = 255;
        *firer = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+1];
        *fireg = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+2];
        *fireb = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+1];
}
else 
{
        *firea = 255;
        *firer = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress];
        *fireg = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+1];
        *fireb = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+2];
}

Thanks! Time to get cracking!

error:

I put the code into fire.c and was given this error

1>facialturd-the-powder-toy-7f850ad\src\elements\fire.c(11): error C2181: illegal else without matching if

But there's definitely an if there...

Try adding braces:


if (cpart->ctype == PT_PTSM)
{
        *firea = 255;
        *firer = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+1];
        *fireg = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+2];
        *fireb = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+1];
}
else 
{
        *firea = 255;
        *firer = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress];
        *fireg = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+1];
        *fireb = (unsigned char)flm_data[caddress+2];
}

I may just have broken the fire colour... It is always red. What variables control the glowing colour?

opps i am in idiot i forgot the braces.

@tommig (View Post)
is it like the normal fire colour or is it just a red

All the glow effects are red. Unless I put loads down, at that point it can glow yellow
