Emitter 3Ditor

Description
WYSIWYG particle/lightemitter editor for Eden.


Add and use particle and light emitters in your scenarios without any scripting.
Adds an emitter editor akin to the old "utility mission" editor that has floated around since the original OFP and the "Eden way" of adding emitters via object attributes.

Features include:
- add emitters (particle/light) and edit their parameters in Eden, in real time. WYSIWYG = will appear in scenario as it does in Eden
- Attach emitters to virtually anything (Eden entities, terrain objects, object selections)
- Save emitter parameter presets
- Export emitter parameters in sqf format like with the old "utility mission", sometimes you just want/need to script it
- Export emitter parameters as config class, greatly speed up creating your CfgCloudlets and CfgLights effects
- Includes "scenario function set" to deal with the emitters added with this tool in "mission runtime"
- Full set of Eden tutorials
- A 100+ page pdf manual with a lot of (hopefully) easy to understand examples on how to use the tool (located in modfolder -> docs)
- does NOT create dependencies, scenarios edited with this tool do NOT need this mod installed when played

!IMPORTANT NOTE!:
If your game crashes with error "DX11 ERROR BUFFER MAP FAILED" while using this tool it in most cases means that your Particle Quality setting in the game Video Settings is too high. Lowering it should fix this.

Shows up for me when I test that.
I didn't pack the whole thing, just did the cloudlets part.

At first didn't show up but skipWhenMissingDependencies = 1 was causing that because didn't have ACE running.

That is strange. Last time I added CfgCloudlets they did appear in the tool
Overlord Zorn 3 Mar, 2024 @ 10:20am 
hm. They dont but they still dont show up.

If they use simple expressions as some of the values the tool skips them, otherwise they should show up.

can confirm, clip board export still works as config class

question: i added a couple of classes to cfgCloudlets but they do not show up in the Emitter 3Ditor. Is there a way i can preview and finetune custom made cfgCloudlets?
I am inheriting already from the cfgCloudlets >> "Default" class.

will check and come back (if i dont forget :D)

Right, seems that exporting as config does cut off for particle emitters :(

The same stuff is saved to your clipboard as well so you should be able to just paste the export into a text file, which should work..
