I have written a program for visually making Particle Fountains for use in DBP. It writes full .dba source and has a number of preset templates.

Created in DBPF:

Sample export:

David when I run your program the bitmap you used is messed up... it is stretched and I cant read the text that the bitmap has... over all the program it self looks great

You mean the UI? Funny. It is designed to correctly display in the 640x480 DBP default resolution - maybe your PC does not support 640x480?

One last try with the link: [url]http://www.aozf28.dsl.pipex.com/DBParticleFactory.zip [/url]

"the one who made dbpaint" That is me.

I'm struggling to understand where we are - so what are you looking for? A Windows Based Particle System?

I love Star Trek.
Especially the Episodes with Starships in.

DarthPuff - that sounds like Halos particle creator, it basically made sequences of images you could then import and playback on a texture to simulate particle effects without the massive overhead of calculating them all. Worked really well, probably stuck working on Cartography Shop now though - maybe he'll release in the future.

Cheers,

Rich
