YES! I've got it running... it works.


Once I get more stuff in the level (fix a few bugs), I'll put a lil example up.

I also wrote a new shader (which I'll post in UC for free soon). Per Pixel lighting. 4 lights in one pass, the other 4 in the second pass, as well as sunlight. Soon I'll add NM to it. The shader also includes a variable for scaling light brrightness, which can give some nice effects...

I'm really happy with the results I'm getting. It looks just as if it were 3D (which it is, but you know what I mean)... Now I just need to improve my level design skills.

Great to hear Guitar, I'm very curious to see the exactitude of your solution

Cheers

Keep us posted. Is your UC going to contain all of the code for the subject of this thread?

Unfortunatly, no (or at least not yet)...

I'm only planning on releasing the shader for now (but first I want to add some more features). And by shader, I mean a simple per-pixel shader. It's not much, but it looks great and is mainly designed for levels (or other objects with large faces). I'm going to first try and find a way to switch shademode without needing to shaders (just for simplicity's sake)...

I may release my 2.5D scripts (as a "sort-of" template. Once I get it mostly scripted, I'm going to add some panel for ease of use. I'm not sure if I'll release it for free or [try to] sell it though. If I decide to sell it, then it'll be cheap ($10 or less). While I do need the money, I try to be generous

I'll post any updates (maybe in this thread, possibly a new one, we'll see how far it's gotten)...


...I'll try to get a compiled demo soon.

Exccelent script, thanks! Very usefull for 2.5D games.
