Try Beta Now

Howdy, I'm CyberAxe and we needed a particle editor / generator for Hytale so here it is.

It's still raw and in beta and there are things that just wont work at times and I'm not sure why.

Since we have no docs it's all trial and error.
There are around 130 fields in the Particle System / Spawners.
I think I have most of them in the app and mostly working. 

!!! However, you should/must backup your mod and/or

particles before opening and saving. !!!
 

--- This is a fan made best effort program and beta ---

--- No warranties or liability, use at your own risk ---

​

​What to expect in the Beta
 

  • Most fields do something,

  • Many fields do the same thing in the Simulator as in the game.

  • However, some do the opposite.

  • A few do nothing in the simulator

    Just Broken:
    UV Anim doesn't work at all right now and the entire workflow needs redesigned

    I don't understand:
    UV Motion does stuff but not logically that I understand. I need more time to test this in the game vs in the simulator or help from Hytale's Team


    Note on Support and Updates:
    It's just me so unless I get some help to manage, fund and do updates then, updates and patches will be best effort. I may release the entire codebase and let the community manage it, but I'd like to get some more work done before that. â€‹

A Word from CyberAxe
 

I've never released or supported a program like this before, I started this thinking it would be easily 2 day side project like Bedrock Particles but it's 10x more complex and I'm in 2 weeks and I'm worried about releasing this and supporting it but it's needed so here it is for what it is, in the Spirit of Hytale As is.

So if you enjoy this part of the process and have the time, desire or funds to help please reach out.

What can I make?

How to Use Guide

Known Bugs you must know about:

LIVE SYSTEM IMPORT BUG
ALERT!!!!

When you have the game running and you import a System often if you add a new spawner or major change it will fail to import unless you...

Change this number, I normally do it +/- 1. So if it's 1000 it fails, change to 999 and it will work. Don't ask me why.

But I assume the game wont overwrite a System unless it detects a field change in the System not just a Spawner.

If you import a system that already on in the game and change the texture you will get a random texture on the already spawned System Particles. 

This is because your changes change the game Atlas and the already spawned particles do not update to the new locations on importing of the updated System.

​What to do if my Spawner / System dont import?
 

In VFXTale

  • System and Spawners needs to be in the same folder

  • or spawner can be in a subfolder called Spawners

  • There are place Hytale Spawners do not follow this rule and they will not load automatically you will need to open them in this case. (I hope to solve this down the road)

 

 

In Hytale
Spawn Systems Fail
