Epic Fight - Particles On The Blades

Changelog: Particle Beam System Update

The Blade Length assignment system has been overhauled and now follows a new logic structure based on the following keys:
start, end, angle, rotate, mirror, fix_start, vol_x, y, z, cord_x, y, z.

Key Updates & Logic

• start & end:
  These represent space-time coordinates.
  • start: Determines the origin point of particle generation within the plane.
  • end: Defines how far the particle beam travels over time, influencing the beam volume, particle density, and temporal emission rate (Internal Variable "Steps").
  • Higher end values may cause the beam to exhibit angular distortion in specific scenarios.
• angle:Now considered legacy and deprecated. It no longer has any functional effect.
• rotate:Rotates the particle beam from the Y-axis to the X-axis, altering its directional alignment.
• mirror:Duplicates the original beam, producing a second beam (A1 and A2) further back in the same plane.
  • Note: This does not reverse beam direction—it still progresses forward in time.
• fix_start: Defines the starting point of the A1 beam when mirror is enabled. If rotate is also active, this value adjusts both mirrored and rotated beams simultaneously.
• vol_x, y, z:
  • Controls the volume dimensions of the particle beam. Does not affect the total number of particles, time shifts, or rate.
  • Best used in combination with "end" to achieve particle balance.

     

•  cord_x, y, z: Globally offsets the entire particle generation plane.

  • • This affects both A1 and A2 when mirror is active.

With these changes, the particle system now offers greater precision, but also introduces increased complexity...

New Configuration File

A configuration file has been introduced to allow fine-tuning of the particle generation system. The following options are available:

• baseParticleValue: Controls the particle ratio for base-enchanted items.
  • Recommended: 0.5

     

• innateParticleValue: Particle ratio when an innate skill is activated.

  • • Recommended: 0.35

• winParticleRate: The base percentage used by the system before applying reduction factors.
  • Recommended: 1.0 (100%)

• loseParticleRate: Particle reduction per additional enchantment.
  • Recommended: 0.85 (15% reduction per enchantment)
• minParticleRate: Minimum particle ratio allowed after enchantment reductions.
  • Recommended: 0.3 (70% minimum cap)
• noEnchantParticleRate: Particle ratio when no enchantments are present but particle generation is enabled.
  • Recommended: 1.0 (100%)

• finalParticleRate: Final ratio applied at the end of the process (applies to Enchantments).
  • Recommended: 0.43 (57%)
• finalEnchantParticleRate: Final ratio applied only to Enchant particles.
  • Recommended: 0.3 (70%)
• finalFireParticleRate: Final ratio applied only to Flame particles.
  • Recommended: 0.5 (50%)
• finalInnateFireParticleRate: Final ratio applied only to Flame Wind particles.
  • Recommended: 0.4 (60%)
