Lups not drawing any particles when amount of particles > max particles

Is this supposed behaviour? Wouldn't it make more sense to always draw at least maxParticles amount of particles?

Reproduce by watching any big teams game with low particle limit(10'000) and see how suddenly all particles disappear after some time. Or just spawn some particles and vary particle limit to see them disappear.

For me not seeing particles is a big handicap because it makes missiles nearly invisible.

[Spoiler]

I'm not sure where this belongs as lups isn't zk-specific nor is it engine-related.

Feel free to "move" this to the appropriate bugtracker.

No (because "at least X" would be "min" not "max").

Imo particles should be handled by the engine, but I don't know much about how spring works.

Spring handles only basic sprite particles. More advanced things like ribbons, distortions and such are handled by LUPS.

Actually it is engine related, particle counting was changed lately, so defaults should be much (much) higher.

Yes, well lups is not part of the engine, but maybe it should be. It's an external pack.
