Summary0004649: Entity that should stay visible culled by spyglass FOV
DescriptionBelow you'll find an in-progress particle definition and a prefab to use it with.

When I use the spyglass to try to get a better view of the topmost part of the fountain, the particles disappear. Since the emitter is at ground level, I suspect the distance from the entity origin causes the particles to be culled.

Additional InformationI haven't tried changing bounds expansion on the particles. (The stage I'm trying to examine isn't even very big.)

I've also found that, even without the spyglass involved, sometimes the trailing end of long_banner01.md5mesh will disappear when near the edge of the screen (and lantern_round01.md5mesh can behave similarly, but that's only semi-usable to begin with).

 Changed reproducibility to 'sometimes' because I just loaded up TDM again and the particles are now working wherever I stand. Maybe it's related to the fact I was using editParticles to position the particles on the fountain; maybe it's just an unreliable kind of bug.

Edit: still can't reproduce this, so unless it happens again I'm going to put it down to using editParticles and not reloading the map. My note about the banner remains, though.
