Turn off a new PFX render #60

Closed postm1 closed 5 years ago

postm1 commented 6 years ago

How can I turn off DX11 PFX render and use gothic's engine one? There are many flaws in DX11 pfx renderer. I mean only PFX, is it easy to drop in the code?

How would you want to use gothic's engine code? There is no source code for it. If you want to re-implement it go ahead. But fixing flaws would probably be easier.

I mean, Does dx11 hook PFX functions of gothic engine so it can be easily turned off, or dx11 renders it in one common function?

Using word "PFX" I mean visual of spells. (zCParticleFX)

See: void GothicAPI::DrawParticlesSimple() at https://github.com/ataulien/GD3D11/blob/master/D3D11Engine/GothicAPI.cpp#L851 This (i think) renders zCParticleFX if it is inside ParticleEffectVobs list and near camera.

In the same file you can find void GothicAPI::OnAddVob(zCVob * vob, zCWorld * world) and void GothicAPI::OnRemovedVob(zCVob * vob, zCWorld * world) which add and remove particles to/from ParticleEffectVobs.

Here is class for interaction with particle data through hooks: https://github.com/ataulien/GD3D11/blob/master/D3D11Engine/zCParticleFX.h It seems like calling its destructor also leads to removal of pfx from ParticleEffectVobs.

So yes, if you make void GothicAPI::DrawParticlesSimple() (or some render function it calls) not do anything it won't render. But then pfx will not render at all.
