[fixed]Particles aren't affected by dynamic lights

[Nash]

In a room that has light value 0, the particles (rocket trails, bullet puffs, blood, etc) will remain black eventhough there are dynamic lights illuminating them.

Any plans to improve on the look of particles? IIRC, Timmie uses a sprite for his particles so they look a bit rounder and smoother, unlike the original software square pixels.

No plans yet but this shouldn't be too hard to add.

speaking of particles - i've been thinking, looking at particle fountains from the top and seeing them exhibit the same behaviour as sprites (flat), do you think maybe that particles should always face you even from above? I don't really know how they'd look and have no way to really test it, so they may or may not work well that way. just a question.

Well, if Graf did implement the circular particles like ZdoomGL uses, then, in theory, they'd look exactly the same from any angle, as long as they were kept facing the player. Plus, it'd actually look right to have circular particles facing.

I hope you do, because I can't stand the square ones. Them suckers are ugly.

So let's just say it would be much appreciated.

I second the suggestion of making the particles always face the player.

Quake 2's particles always faced the player, regardless of hardware or software mode.
