Yo again!

Straight on thing. I want to make sum smoke for my Jet Missiles;
What is the best / fastest / most effective way to make it?

(Ps. I'd rather make it in 3ds max and then convert it to ".x" )

Lovely short answer ...
Still .. I already have it on my desktop ..
What I'm really after is HOW to use it with Dark GDK
I mean i can export about 70 pictures for a signle flame animation, but how am I then going to use these 70 pictures in gdk? ( Im not typing "loadimage()" for 70 rows -.- )

Nice try .. but have u ever tried it ?

E.g.

for ( int i = 0 ; i < 70 ; i++ )
dbLoadImage( i , "Flame( Then what to make it load 1 by 1 ? )" );

- At them brackets .. U cant close the citation and use the number neither can u fill the number inside the citation.

- Besides .. Naming the images " 1 - 70 " still wont help ..

You can export the animations from magic particles and use them in your programs. Check out the included DarkGDK example before you start trying to implement it.

Ok .. a little progress..

But sum new bugs;

1. The fire thingy seems to be a bit too big for being ingame. OFC i just have to resize it. but what i mean is how can i make the fire change size based on the camera distance ..? ( I dont wanna create my own 50 row long function for this -.- )

2. The colorkey doesnt really work properly since im using jpeg. I mean the fire sprite appears with LOTSA black spots around it. Should i use the colorkey function about 60 more times to remove all these >.<??

Another thing;

The "sprintf" thing make my program collapse at the end. I dont mean it closes automaticly .. more like the opposite; When i press ESC it freezes and the only way to handle this is CTRL+ALT+DLT!

Suggestions?

Read the page, there is a wrapper that allows you to use the animations without having to load any images, you simply load the exported file and use the wrapper functions to position and play the animation.

Man the guide he putted inside that zip was so LONG and, honestly, unhelpful. All it said is how they worked. But i couldnt exactly get HOW or WHERE to put these functions, besides, If all I have to do is to copy and paste these inside the program, Why not just put it into the main .h file :SSSSSS


Make's me hell nervous sometimes..
