I just released the ME DirectInput Plugin. Any of you should please take a look. I'm still working on the particles though, and should be done fairly soon.
Nevermind that last news. I've found a flaw in my method. I'll post news shortly.
I've just implemented a method for applying an alpha map to the particle. Now, at least, they look accpetable. I'll update the code shortly.
The first release of the Direct3D plugin source is out. Download it now, take a look at it, and post comments on the forum as needed!
I have just uploaded a particle system demo. It is very rudimentary and nowhere near complete. I am currently implementing alpha mapping for the particles. I will release some source code via CVS pretty soon. ;)
Well, the Mirabilia Ex engine goes open source. I hope all who visit this page will contribute to the engine. Thank you.
