Hi Jon,
I have a question about adding effects: do you plan to add a visibility parameter?
In the effect dialog box there is a mysterious line "parameters" but no clue given to understand a) if it is usable and b) how to include parameters.
I read in the brand new manual (wow what a job!) page 205/206 that there is no edit functionality provided at the moment.
So I do use Arno's FxEditor but this nice utility allows everything in "programming" an effect BUT visibility condition. For that, I have to create any MDL (with the same's Model Converter X) and add an attach point for the effect, and then define its visibility condition (day, night, dawn, dusk).
It is easy to do but a bit cumbersome.
Won't it be possible to do that directly in the object dialog box?
I mean: together with the usual list (sparse to extremely dense) have another one more specific to effects (day night dawn dusk etc). Or a way to tell that in the parameters blank line.
It must be separate from the normal list (sparse dense etc) because an effect may be called/displayed under two simultaneous conditions (eg. at night only AND only if the scene is displayed at dense or more).
That would be great and very useful!
Btw. as you can see in the image enclosed, when editing an effect the drop down list displays 3 times the parameters...
