Ok, here's an odd problem i have with the render2texture.dll, and i'm guessing it's a dll error because i can't use most post processing shaders:

the problem is that i can use the included bloom shader just fine, as long as i just play one level, but if another level is loaded AT ALL, in ANY TEST, the dll leaves an on-screen problem, that seems to be the last level's skycube, i've tried using tga skycubes and bmps, both have the same result. I've tried using other post processing shaders, but they show the problem from the beginning, on the first level played the skycube is visible on screen and cannot be removed, and i've checked each shader, and used shaders from their original code in the forum, as they were posted. i'm guessing the problem would be that the backbuffer is not cleaned after another level is loaded, or that there's a small problem with trying to use any post processing effects, my directx is updated to the very last version, i have the last version of the dll, it loads fine, but the errors i have not been able to fix are those mentioned here, i get no problem with shaders like refraction, but any true post processing effects don't work properly.

Strange, i thought i mentioned in the readme.txt that you should not use the bloom effect in a real game.

When you look at the main function of the sample you can see that it creates 3 entities in the level which are then used for the postprocessing. If you load a new level you must create these again, otherwise the bloom doesn't get renewed.

i tried that too, but the dll doesn't allow me to use other PPEs, i've tried using a number of effects, including these:

all other PPEs give me the same results, however, i can run water just fine, and other things like mirrors as well, but any PPEs, as mentioned, give me problems

r2t still doesnt open for me. i downloaded the new dll and the new dx9, but no change.

ok, i have a question, can the dll actually be used in a real game, or just in small tests? it has issues running any ppes and most effects are really aliased, and cuts off all anti aliasing completely.

ok...now i am concerned. can anyone help me figure out how to run this dll? anyone?

do you have the dll in your acknex_plugins folder?

yes, tried it there too. i am not sure why its not opening.

hmmm, i'm not sure what it is, sorry... i wouldn't recommend using this in a real project anyway...

First i must mention that i don't really have much time at the moment, sorry.

@mpdeveloper_B: I've sent you a pm. About the aliasing, rendertarget textures doesn't support antialiasing, thats a directx thing, there are some tricks to do it but even a6/a7 doesn't support it yet.

@Blink: What 3dgs version do you use? There are several issues with lite-c at the moment. Doesn't it load (look in the acklog.txt) or doesn't it work? You could try to use dll_open or setting the Plugin_dir.


Btw, i still couldn't found a pc where it doesn't work/load, so i'm in need of your help to fix this.
I made this in my freetime and i thought someone could use it, i don't mind if you use it in your "real" project or not.
