Turn off a new PFX render about gd3d11

[Katharsas]

How would you want to use gothic's engine code? There is no source code for it. If you want to re-implement it go ahead. But fixing flaws would probably be easier.

I mean, Does dx11 hook PFX functions of gothic engine so it can be easily turned off, or dx11 renders it in one common function?

Using word "PFX" I mean visual of spells. (zCParticleFX)

See:
void GothicAPI::DrawParticlesSimple() at
https://github.com/ataulien/GD3D11/blob/master/D3D11Engine/GothicAPI.cpp#L851
This (i think) renders zCParticleFX if it is inside ParticleEffectVobs list and near camera.

In the same file you can find
void GothicAPI::OnAddVob(zCVob * vob, zCWorld * world) and
void GothicAPI::OnRemovedVob(zCVob * vob, zCWorld * world)
which add and remove particles to/from ParticleEffectVobs.

Here is class for interaction with particle data through hooks:
https://github.com/ataulien/GD3D11/blob/master/D3D11Engine/zCParticleFX.h
It seems like calling its destructor also leads to removal of pfx from ParticleEffectVobs.

So yes, if you make void GothicAPI::DrawParticlesSimple() (or some render function it calls) not do anything it won't render. But then pfx will not render at all.

Thanks, I will try.
