Hi all,
I've been having a play with the Extended.Particles System and have struggled to find any documentation to help me - thankfully there are some demos with source code. However, the demo doesn't show how to load the particle data from .json files.
I've had a play and managed to get the .json loaded using serialization - there's an example 'test3.particles' in the source that I'm trying to load. There's also ParticleEffect.FromFile & ParticleEffect.FromStream which do similar things. This all seems great and from stepping through the code it looks like it's working - however nothing is being drawn on the screen.
The json references a textureregion called particle. I'm not sure how to tell it to where to find it.
I've tried creating this manually, naming the texture and putting it inside a TextureAtlas which is then placed inside a TextureRegionService. I can then pass the TextureRegionService to the Deserializer and the ParticleEffect will know what textures to show.
What I'm struggling to do is create a TextureRegionService with TextureAtlases as this property is readonly. I'm assuming that there is a much simpler way to create these perhaps via the Content Pipeline?
Thanks for any pointers!
