refreezed / hotparticles Goto Github PK

Hey, just leaving a "thank you" here. We're using this tool pretty extensively in our project. The way you've completely self-isolated modules and exports and kept them completely opinionless is really appreciated - writing an importer was super clean and we only have to modify the exported stuff a little bit to work with our image loader.

So far it's been a very reliable utility and I don't think our particle effects would be nearly as beautiful as they are without the help of HotParticles.

So thanks :) Keep up the good work.

First of all, thank you for this, looks great (at least in the screenshots 😁).

Unfortunately, it doesn't run on my machine (Ubuntu 20.04). I'm using the "universal" download, unpacked it, and then ran love Hotparticles.love. This fails with the following error:

I am writing HotParticles support directly into our game's build pipeline, but the problem I'm facing is the texture path. We can certainly use the default particles but any custom particles become tricky to maintain across the team's machines (since the paths are different).

Is there a chance we could instead have the option to "add" a texture to a hotparticles file and for hotparticles to store the texture's contents directly in the file?
