Chryfi's particle system extension

Besides all that cool stuff in the list above, Chryfi worked for more than 3 months adding a lot of mind blowing features to the particle system. All of these additions below are Chryfi's outstanding work:

• Added variables variable.particle_speed.length, variable.particle_speed.x, variable.particle_speed.y and variable.particle_speed.z. Could be used for motionblur like effect.
• Added Сamera facing mode button to Appearance section
• Added more options to Local space section:
  • Relative direction: when enabled, it rotates the direction vector when spawning according to the rotation of the emitter/body part. Example: make particles shoot out of a body part like blood.
  • Relative acceleration: when enabled, it rotates the acceleration vector throughout the whole lifetime of a particle according to the body part's local rotation.
  • Gravity: when enabled, it vertically accelerates every particle by -9.81 which won't be affected by the local acceleration.
• Added more options to Collision section:
  • Realistic collision: the direction vector will be mirrored on collision. Example: together with gravity particles can now bounce realistically like a bouncy rubber ball.
  • Random direction: this randomizes the direction on collision. It can be used with realistic collision on or off. It doesn't affect the speed, it only changes the direction. When bounciness is 0 this still changes the direction just without reflecting on the surface. This could be used for force fields.
    • Preserve energy: when bounciness is 0 and random bounciness is not 0, an enabled preserve energy would ignore that the vector component responsible for colliding will be 0. Enabled preserve energy will make the particles fast.
  • Split particles: this splits the particles into a given amount on impact. Their speed will change according to the number of splits e.g. 4 splits => speed / 4.
  • Split particles speed threshold: this is the speed threshold for activating the split process.
  • Damping: reduce the velocity of the particles on impact. Valid range 0..1, 1 being the highest damping (1 reduces the velocity completely).
  • Random damping: randomize the damping. Values are 0..1. Example: damping of 1.0 and random damping of 0.5 means the damping will vary between 0.5 and 1.5.
  • Change texture/appearance on collision.
  • Change tint and lighting on collision.
  • Expire on impact delay: would be also useful for texture on impact. It can be used with Molang expressions like math.random(), negative values will be turned into positive values.
  • Collision with entity's hitboxes.
  • Collision with entity pseudo momentum.

Version 1.6.5

This is a little update features two neat features, and mostly bug fixes. A couple of things to note about this update:

1. MagicaVoxel code was rewritten, and now the new code shows models differently, so if you MagicaVoxel models before in 1.6.3 or 1.6.4, it will break poses and general position and orientation of these models. You'll have to reconfigure your morphs, so don't update until you finish current project.
2. MorePlayerModels-like models (alex_3d, fred_3d and steve_3d) were added. Please remove your 3D (alex_3d, fred_3d and steve_3d) models if you have installed it before.
3. I fixed some bug, which caused countdown and some other features to run twice as fast, so apparently the countdown wasn't 3 seconds all that time, but rather 1.5 seconds... My life have been a lie...

Compatible with McLib 1.0.4, Metamorph 1.1.10 and Aperture 1.3.5. It doesn't mean that future versions of Metamorph and Aperture would be incompatible, but older versions are most likely incompatible.

• Fixed sequencer and custom morph can merge interactions are wrong...
• Fixed post and pre delays are not applying first/last frames on the actor during delay periods

• Fixed vanilla morph not working with BB gun properly (reported by Centryfuga)
• Fixed fake player being twice as fast with scenes (reported by SillySheep)

Version 1.4.10 (model block)

This patch adds two nice features and also cleans up the code base a little bit (for next updates, basically, it's only the beginning).

Compatible with Metamorph 1.1.5 and Aperture 1.1. It doesn't mean that future versions of Metamorph and Aperture would be incompatible, but older versions probably are incompatible.

Version 1.4.9 (OBJ and camera update)

This patch that mainly aims at providing integration with my new Aperture mod (a camera mod which camera creation process using GUI). This means that all old camera code in Blockbuster was removed.

For exception of camera features, there are also some little tweaks made to other components of the mod. Mostly tweaks that fix some annoying stuff. Oh, and also OBJ support for custom models.

Compatible with Metamorph 1.1.4 and Aperture 1.0.1. It doesn't mean that future versions of Metamorph and Aperture would be incompatible, but older versions probably are incompatible.

• Make actors make weak hit sound when swiping (configurable, by default disabled)

Version 1.4.8 (integrated model editor)

Patch update. This update is focused on bringing McME into the mod itself. Why integrating model editor in the mod? Because this will increase productivity of making custom models. When you edit models in the game, you'll have instant feedback on how the model looks, meanwhile with McME, ther might be some bugs related to wrong angles between how custom model looks in the game and in the editor, how does the character would look with items in hand, etc.

Important: there's a new way of recording actions was implemented. Player recordings recorded in 1.4.8, can't be used in 1.4.7 and below. However, you can use actions from 1.4.7 in 1.4.8.

Camera

Commands

• Added sub-commands:
  • /model clear – clears texture map cache from purple checkered textures
  • /model replace_texture – replaces texture in the texture map to another already loaded texture
  • /load_chunks – force loads all chunks in the render distance (affects only chunks which were already generated by the world)
• Updated /record sub-commands to multiple action per frame feature
  • Added /record add and /record remove

• Fixed crash when actor uses playback button (thanks to Badr)

General

• Added a config option for custom model and skins refresh

• Compatible with Metamorph 1.1.3
• Fixed grammar and phrasing in config comments (thanks to reck829)

GUI

  • Limb swinging and swiping, hit box rendering, and item holding buttons
  • Texture picker
• Added current camera playback tick in F3 screen
• Added sliders in actor configuration GUI to rotate an actor (reck829's suggestion)

• Added recording of item usage (use_item)
• Added Drop (boolean) property for place_block action which is responsible for dropping an according block
• Fixed mounting action mounting again and over again
• Switched to recording multiple actions per a frame

Version 1.4.7 (Metamorph integration)

Another patch update. This patch update is what I waited for a long time! This update integrates Blockbuster with Metamorph. This makes Blockbuster able to perform Metamorph's abilities, attacks and abilities as well as to use Metamorph's morphs for actor morphing. From now and on, Blockbuster isn't a standalone mod. It requires Metamorph.

Important: due to integration, the format of custom models and skins was changed, so before trying out this update, make sure to back up your world as it may make all your actors morphless (invisible actors with shadows).

Special thanks to The Minebox, Badr, Tom Soel and Vasily12345 for beta-testing and suggesting features for this update!

General

• Added config options:
  • Recording countdown (suggested by The Minebox)

Version 1.4.6

Another patch update. This patch is quite useful and contains one bug fix and two very useful config options. This patch fixes annoying scrolling in director block GUI and adds two config options for controlling render and tracking range of the actors, allowing players to render actors from much further distance (up to 1024 blocks away).

Version 1.4 (Slow-Mo update)

This is a big update that improves the quality of recording. Now you can use Minema mod to record high quality videos of your machinimas (with shaders... HYPE mode activated).

The player recording code was almost rewritten from scratch and camera code was altered enough to support frame-based playback and synchronization with actor playback. In simple words, now you can capture smooth high-quality machinimas with Minema!

Showcase video for 1.4:

• Added actor spawn egg to Blockbuster tab
• Added button "Record" which simplifies recording of ghost actors

    • Interpolate target fixtures?
    • Target interpolation value
• Added more detailed tooltips to items and blocks
• Added support for camera's Field-Of-View (fov) and roll (rotation across Z-axis) parameters
• Added sub-commands for /camera:
  • /camera default – reset camera's roll and FOV
  • /camera fov – set FOV of the camera
  • /camera roll – set roll of the camera
• Added sub-commands for /action:

• Renamed the "Undocumented Feature" to "Camera Marker."

Important: camera and recording files from previous versions not supported by this update (I'm sorry, I'm really really bad at supporting formats). Next version will be less likely to break the format. Sorry...

Version 1.3

This is a big update that brings custom models and morphing into the game. This update adds support for custom models and player morphing. Your machinimas will be much interesting, because now you can record not only players, but also mobs, blocks, or even your own custom creatures. All thanks to custom models!

Showcase video for 1.3:

• Added support for JSON custom models for actors
• Added support for player morphing based on JSON custom models
• Added multiplayer support (models and skins can be saved in world saves, and loaded by clients)
• Added client-side morph command that allows player to morph into custom models in multiplayer
• Added client-side export-model command that allows users to export in-game models into JSON format (basic non-optimal export, better than nothing, though)
• Added three optional arguments to /action record
• Added support for placing multiblock blocks (like bed or door)
• Fixed crash on dedicated server (previously known to be fixed)
• Improved a little bit look and follow camera fixtures
• Merged functionality of director map block with director block
• Renamed top-level package from noname to mchorse
• Removed director map block
• Updated actor GUI for using custom models
• Updated director block GUI for manipulating replays

See McME repository and web page for more information about the model editor.

Important: This update breaks save data compatability with previous versions. So if you're going to use this update with previously created worlds, all director blocks are going to be cleared (unintentionally), and actors will lose their Filename fields.

Version 1.2.1

This is a small patch that enhances existing elements of the mod. Nothing new, just enhancements and fixes.

Showcase video for 1.2.1:

• Added /entitydata skin client synchronization

• Changed playback button behavior on sneak and use – now you teleport to director block
• Changed path fixture behavior when you /camera edit it, instead of adding/removing, you pass it index of point, and edit the point's position
• Fixed director block GUIs – now scroll bar is draggable, and buttons are clickable
• Improved skin picker in actor GUI – now it supports tab completition and much easier to use when you have tons of skins

Version 1.2

Third version of Blockbuster mod. This release focuses on improving cameras. Old entity-like camera was removed, and more flexible and complex cameras were added. Now, instead of riding cameras every time when you doing screen recording, you can just press play button and sit down, because you setup once, play camera how many times you want.

Showcase video for 1.2:

• Added camera profile. Camera profile is a list of camera fixtures that can be imported/exported and played
• Added camera fixtures. Camera fixture is the definition of how camera should behave. Following fixtures were added:
  • Idle fixture – static camera shot
  • Path fixture – linear-interpolated camera path way
  • Follow fixture – camera follows given entity from specified angle (specified angle is determined when the fixture is being added)
  • Look fixture – camera looks at given entity from specified point of view (specified point of view is determined when the fixture is being added)
  • Circular fixture – camera circles around given point for specified amount of circles in degrees
• Added camera command which allows players to manage profiles and fixtures

Version 1.1

Second version of Blockbuster mod. This release removes the "Name Tag" mechanism (redundant running here and there with intention to register/give recording name to the actor/director map block) and substituted this with nice looking GUIs.

Basically, this release mostly focuses on enhancing GUI and the look of the mod.

Showcase video for 1.1:

• Update to Minecraft 1.9.4 and Forge 12.17.0.1976 (thanks to Lightwave)

• Changed (improved) camera and actor configuration GUIs
• Changed camera's model and texture
• Fixed place block action, now actors can place any block (before, they couldn't place redstone wire)
