Resource [1.8] Customized colored particles. <-- RGB!

Using @DarkBladee12 's ParticleEffect Lib. and @RingOfStorms post, We now know using particle amount '0' gives us possibilitys to change the color of the particles MobSpellAmbient, MobSpell, And red_dust!
How to:
Change your ParticleEffect.java to

(Couldn't put code in, 34464 characters )

That removes the check for the amount of 0 particles, All credit goes to darkbladee12!
Next:
Use this little class to get the colored particles, add it to your plugin! (You MUST Have ParticleEffect inside of your project somewhere!):

Code:

package utils;

import java.util.List;

import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;

public enum ColoredParticle {
  
    MOB_SPELL("MOB_SPELL"), MOB_SPELL_AMBIENT("MOB_SPELL_AMBIENT"), RED_DUST("RED_DUST");
  
    private ColoredParticle(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    String name;
    public void send(Location location, List<Player> players, int r, int g, int b) {
        ParticleEffect.valueOf(name).display(r/255, g / 255, b / 255, 1, 0, location, players);
    }
    public void send(Location location, int Distance, int r, int g, int b) {
        ParticleEffect.valueOf(name).display(r/255, g / 255, b / 255, 1, 0, location, Distance);
    }

}

Now you can easily do ColoredParticle.RED_DUST.send(location, 16, 23, 23, 23) to give you a color with 23, 23, 23!

 

Nice release, might use it.

 

Oh yes, wrote this at night
Changed code. ParticleEffect.valueOf(name) returns something like mobSpell, not MOB_SPELL! Edited!

 

@ChipDev
Finally, an utility from you that might be (slightly) useful.

 

And he didn't even come up with it! At least he gave credit where it was due, so can't complain too much there

 

that library open sourced and posted on github...
you can just provide link to github...

 

@ChipDev You might want to tell us why we need a modified ParticleEffect class, so we could modify the lib by ourself.

And this is more a library with example than a tutorial.

 

@MisterErwin You'd have to remove this part of the code in the ParticleEffect class, because it disallows an amount of 0. This specific value enables certain features like setting color or direction with offsets!

 

@DarkBladee12 psss
Yeah - I already saw that while reading the comments on your thread

 

@MisterErwin

I'll keep that check in the class, but I'm going to add methods for all the mechanics once @RingOfStorms found them out

 

Yeah, but I decided to make a thread for it so oriole searching it could find it!
@API_Tutorials
Omg yus :3

 

Or... You could just use packets

 

Yeah, packets :3 But this is for people that are currently using @DarkBladee12 's lib!
Also, sense I tagged him, Ill make a version that you could just update the library to. (No other classes needed)

 

OMG OMG OMG.

Sorry, but wow- thanks so much for this!

 

No problemo!
(With the spells plugin, this would be really useful )

 

Yeah you can see why I'd want this

As of now, I'm already using it! I added support for colorizing particles to EffectLib, and Magic now supports custom-colored effects, and effects that match your wand's core color. Hooray!

 

@DarkBladee12 I saw you implemented a version of this! Sweet!

 

@ChipDev does this also work with firework sparks?

 

No.

 

Sadly, not yet.
Mojang y u do dis

 

@ChipDev Thanks! Awessommme!

 

@ChipDev where did you get the PacketType enum (?) from? Can't find it in the ReflectionUtils (https://github.com/DarkBlade12/Part...rkblade12/particleeffect/ReflectionUtils.java)

 

@MiniDigger I see no mention of a 'PacketType' enum.

 

Ask @DarkBladee12

 

@MiniDigger @Skionz @ChipDev I removed it since it was only used once in the lib. Now you have to get the packet by name with PackageType.MINECRAFT_SERVER.getClass(<name>)! (The name for 1.8 is PacketPlayOutWorldParticles and for 1.6 or lower is Packet63WorldParticles)

 

@DarkBladee12 ah, thank you. @ChipDev you should update the paste ;D

 

So, as this does not work with firework sparks, how does the server make the colored particles for actual fireworks? There must be more hidden features in packets...

 

@Techy4198 I don't think that there's more to this packet than @RingOfStorms already found out. Maybe the firework effects are kinda hard-coded.

 

The server doesn't send firework explosions themselves per particle, it instead sends an entity animation on the firework entity that results in the client rendering the effect.

There is currently no way to color the firework spark particle.
