FF 4.0 Particle Adaptor WRONG warning with shapes and bomber?

And what is more curious is that the warning in the Particle adapter tells me that it does not make sense to use the particle adapter when the other warning is telling me to use it

Any reason why you're using the fancy old method of creating polygon shapes? You remind me of the epic days when filters got so big haha. It's a cool way though....

Here's a solution to the issue.

Thanks for the updated filter, will see it

Well, the reason is that I am using the shapes snippets available in the library and all these may be from FF 1.0 as they have not been updated.

GMM SpaceRay, weren't it you who posted multiple messages about that in September?

Sorry I thought that this was already fixed in the last minor update, but then if if you say that it has not been fixed yet, it seems that it was only fixed the color control problem and I am wrong that it was already fixed this warnings, will wait for it on the next update

FF 4.05 Color control bug when activating "allow images" crashes FE

Honestly more like a workaround than a solution.

You can use the particle adapter where needed to produce bomber-friendly sources. But given that it's an "adapter" it's probably preferred that it'd be used before the source enters the bomber. Not that there are rules against it.

==== slightly off topic now====
"Old" as in methods introduced in 1.0 to compensate requests back then.

Polygon/Ellipse components were introduced back with 2.0! Did you... forget about them?

Also, the introduction of HDR/non-seamlessness/RGB math made some of the 1.0 technical snippets obsolete methods. And yes, if you want to build a polygonal shape from scratch, new versions allow for more concise methods for constructing, so a lot of those components can be condensed to 1 or 2 components.

I'm just saying it's interesting you're picking up a method from the 1.0 era to generate polygonal shapes when we already benefit much more from the provided poly/eclipse components. Most optimized = what's readily available as a component. But I'm not saying that 1.0 snippets lost their value completely. They're nice technical reminders of what we had to do to generate stuff back then and also some inspiration. Though as a guy who makes filters, I never liked the whole thing with having "obsolete" components in the newest filters. Just something uncomfortable about them.

For bonus points you should: using techniques from the 1.0 era and using only what was available back with 1.0, add a full 360 rotate function to the polygon snippet.

Actually you can do everything the snippets display using polygon/eclipse components. I certainly feel they're all doable!!
