ENIGMA Development Environment

I've been trying to look more into particles, not convinced 100% they are not working at all.  Funny but I managed to make them work in GL3, in GL1 they look funny LOL, the snow flakes are squares, in GL3 they have proper shape.
Anyhow sometimes they work but eventually as you run, test re-run they fuck up, work and instances disappear, and weird shit happens, but the fact I managed to make them work (the effect D&D part) I suspect it has something to do with opengl init bugs or something not properly initialized ?

I also figured what was causing the endless looping and trailing of instances, you need to turn on a background. lol! fuck me, what was I thinking there.
I think now the particles thing might need some tweaking, as it's there and should work but there might be something minor need changing to enable it to work all the time and not intermittent or stop working after several re-runs.

They were done at some point, but then became broken. They no longer work in all of the graphics systems. I would want the original developer of the particle system extension to fix that, but I am not use if that will happen.

lol- holy crap there sure are lots of things broken in ENIGMA as I'm discovering, makes it very difficult to use ENIGMA to make a game as you are limited from many sides.  What a shame for the particles though because there are very complex effects you could do with them without requiring pre-rendered stuff all over your game

Also I recall the dev post stating it was completed and fully tested and on par with GM's........so I am confused.

Wouldn't it be best to REMOVE all these non working features from ENIGMA, it can confuse the fuck out of some people particularly those new to ENIGMA.  To me if I see a particles extension and functions, it means they can be used.
BTW, I tried the particles functions in every gfx system, dx9, 11, ogl1.1, ogl3, nothing works.

If worse comes to worse I will use pre-rendered, it's just time consuming  but I'm not going back to using YoYoShit.  one thing that is good with ENIGMA is support for many useful functions that were removed due to lazyness by yoyo, but problem is I'm beginning to wonder what kinds of games can you do with ENIGMA, with many reportedly broken or non working things, it's a bit discouraging..... So with lights broken, 3d broken, particles broken, collision/path finding, and few others, what does it leave people to make ?

BTW I think the way YYG is heading sucks major dick.  I don't expect their new IDE to be anything worthy to begin with, I can see more and more that they are breaking apart GMS further with their new gayness, can't fix it, then either leave it there or remove stuff. No wonder people make shitty games, not because of lack of interest but because of a shitty product they have (GM Studio) with an $800 option to export your shit to other platforms...........

I wanted to use particles in my games but seems that cannot be used in ENIGMA even though ENIGMA claims to be compatible.....even though it was announced in 2013 and said to be complete and tested. Am I missing something or is this broken?

Using this in a control object, create event.

I tried with OGL1, 3, DX9/11, enabled Part API,
does not work nothing displays.

fire1 = part_type_create();
part_type_shape(fire1,pt_shape_line);
part_type_size(fire1,0.20,0.60,0,0);
part_type_scale(fire1,0.65,2.50);
part_type_color3(fire1,16749459,33023,255);
part_type_alpha3(fire1,0.04,0.06,0.07);
part_type_speed(fire1,0.70,2.60,-0.02,0);
part_type_direction(fire1,85,95,0,9);
part_type_gravity(fire1,0,270);
part_type_orientation(fire1,0,0,10,20,1);
part_type_blend(fire1,1);
part_type_life(fire1,60,80);
emitter1 = part_emitter_create(Sname);
part_emitter_region(Sname,emitter1,60,-60,10,-10,1,1);
part_emitter_stream(Sname,emitter1,particle1,10);


I even tried ready made parts from the D&D actions, same !

BTW I have been curious about this for a while, it might sound weird to even ask, but does LGM have easter eggs ?

Ok went in 1.84 and done now will install 1.85

Where are these recent files stored ??
(registry?folders?)

Ok I'm staying with 7u55  

BTW, I can't even run LGM it spits out errors
I have to then manually go in task manager and delete the 3-4 java.exe running.

I just ran the portable and installed ENIGMA the same way I did for previous builds, worked fine.

Thanks.

BTW, updated Java to version 7 update 55, that is the most recent JAVA.

Wasn't version 8 supposed to be released in March?

I am 12 years old and what is this?

Playing with legos and blocks is so outdated, welcome to the future !
