setting the image of SFML quadrenderer

Hello, I've been trying to create a blood splash when monsters get hit. But the only thing I get is this

I thought I could be doing something wrong and changed my code nearly to the same as the tutorial's smoke. Here is my code, what could I be doing wrong?

Code:: SPK::SPK_ID particleManager::createBloodSystemBase(sf::Image* bloodSplash)
{

// Creates the model

Model* splashModel = Model::create(
FLAG_SIZE | FLAG_ALPHA | FLAG_TEXTURE_INDEX | FLAG_ANGLE,
FLAG_SIZE | FLAG_ALPHA,
FLAG_SIZE | FLAG_TEXTURE_INDEX | FLAG_ANGLE);
splashModel->setParam(PARAM_SIZE,5.0f,10.0f,100.0f,200.0f);
splashModel->setParam(PARAM_ALPHA,1.0f,0.0f);
splashModel->setParam(PARAM_TEXTURE_INDEX,0.0f,4.0f);
splashModel->setParam(PARAM_ANGLE,0.0f,PI * 2.0f);
splashModel->setLifeTime(2.0f,5.0f);

SPK::SFML::SFMLQuadRenderer* bloodRenderer = SPK::SFML::SFMLQuadRenderer::create();
bloodRenderer->setBlendMode(sf::Blend::Alpha);
bloodRenderer->setImage(bloodSplash);
bloodRenderer->setAtlasDimensions(2,2);
bloodRenderer->setGroundCulling(true);

// Creates the zone
SPK::Sphere* bloodSource = SPK::Sphere::create(SPK::Vector3D(0.0f,0.0f,10.0f),5.0f);

// Creates the emitter
SPK::SphericEmitter* bloodEmitter = SPK::SphericEmitter::create(SPK::Vector3D(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f),3.14159f / 4.0f,3.0f * 3.14159f / 4.0f);
bloodEmitter->setForce(50.0f,150.0f);
bloodEmitter->setZone(bloodSource);
bloodEmitter->setTank(200);
bloodEmitter->setFlow(-1);

// Creates the Group
SPK::Group* splashGroup = SPK::Group::create(splashModel,100);
splashGroup->setGravity(SPK::Vector3D(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f));
splashGroup->setRenderer(bloodRenderer);
splashGroup->addEmitter(bloodEmitter);
splashGroup->enableSorting(true);

splashGroup->setFriction(2.0f);

// Creates the System
SPK::SFML::SFMLSystem* bloodSystem = SPK::SFML::SFMLSystem::create();
bloodSystem->addGroup(splashGroup);

splashModel->setShared(true);
bloodRenderer->setShared(true);

// Creates the base and gets the ID
return bloodSystem->getSPKID();

}

I am using SFML 1.6

Hi,

Is your sf::Image well loaded ?
Does the sf::Image::loadFromFile returns true ? Can you display it using a standard sf::Sprite ?

Sorry for the delay, I was adding something else to my game and I couldn't test it Smile

Today I tested it and I get the same result even If I put my characters sprite there, I am pretty sure it is loaded properly, I must be doing some other thing wrong -.-

Thanks

additional info: I am linking SFML and SPARK dynamically, for example sparks work which uses linerenderer's I guess.

I didn't compile SPARK I just downloaded the newest version and linked.(I am compiling my project in debug mode but I couldn't find the debug libraries of SPARK, I think the built ones are RELEASE mode? Maybe that's the problem?)

I think I may be passing some little line of code, do you see any mistakes with that source code I provided?

Heyy! I got it working, as I was expecting its because the built-in libraries are compiled in RELEASE mode wheras I was testing my game in debug mode, now it's working like a charm Smile

Can I advise you to put DEBUG libraries too? for "newbies" like me? I don't think they will add much overhead to filesize.

That's good to hear.

If you need libraries in debug mode, there is a debug target in the project. You only have to build the solution with the debug target (if you re using either visual 2005, 2008 or code block). Debug libraries will be generated in the lib directory with a -d suffix.
