Can anybody link me to one of these that they know (For sure) that it works in Lite-C. I am a complete shader newbie but it would be a wonderful addition to my terrain.

Hi Crumply,
the mtlFx.c shader library has some nice watershader ready to use. Just look in there what you need and how you get it done.

Why don't you use the template water shader? It looks very nice in my oppinion. You can find it in mtlfx.c in your gamestudio folder.

hmm, I included it in my main source file and I get errors when compiling straight away.

I get errors and they alternate for some reason even though I am always running my main.c file. They are

Error in mtlFX.c line 1058 'u ' is not a member of ENTITY

Uh, the last free Lite-C version is from August last year. It could be the case that the mtlFx.c and that version don't fit together. Please make a rough check: in atypes.h, does the entity struct contain the line



?

Cool, it compiles now - but shows the level for a second then crashes right out.

Seriously, that doesnt help.

Reduce your level and your code for the desired effect/shader and make sure that you do everythingwhat it needs, e.g. a bumpmap in the second skin or so.

I hope you didnt modified the atypes.h after I made that hint.

I did but I can change it back? I am unsure as what to do really.

Would it be possible for someone to make a level with just a water plane with the effect applied in and rar it up for me? (may be asking a bit much)

UPDATE:

Here's my bare minimum test and I can't get it working. http://www.indiegamingportal.net/uploads/watertest.rar

since when can you use shaders with the free lite-c version? o.O
