Instead of cluttering the offtopic topic with something that's a topic i'll do this thread


i've just got renderer particles working though it's only fired through a special deformVertexes (compatibility/ehnancing for mods in a Darkplaces way?).  It's actually a port of the very hacked cgame particle code (rather than take JK2/JA/s FX system, MME system (which is msvc2007+ centric) and RTCW/ET's system)

Looks very nice, but that's quite a framerate hit.  How many particles are you rendering in that scene?

I had the limit set to 16384.  The trace-based bounce physics does it in

I've moved the particle spewing to traps, ported more of my cgame effects over and optimized a bit.

having it limited by a backend call helps performance a lot, as well as turning off bounce/bubbling for all disabled particles.
