Yes you can use shaders with A7 Pro.
First.
Have your game ready, so you can run it.
Run your game.

At this point any errors that occur, are from this..

Now.
Somewhere under the Vars, Defines, String, Panels place this:
material mtl_toon
{
skin1=bmp_toonlookup;
effect =
"
matrix matWorldViewProj;
matrix matWorld;vector vecSunDir;
texture entSkin1;texture mtlSkin1;
technique t0{
pass p0 // shade it
{
zwriteenable= true;
zenable = true;
Texture[0]=<mtlSkin1>;
ColorOp[0]=Modulate;
ColorArg1[0]=Texture;
ColorArg2[0]=Texture;
AddressU[0]=Clamp;
AddressV[0]=Clamp;
AddressW[0]=Clamp;
TexCoordIndex[0]=0;
Texture[1]=<entSkin1>;
ColorOp[1]=Modulate;
ColorArg1[1]=Texture;
ColorArg2[1]=Current;
TexCoordIndex[1]=1;
VertexShaderConstant[0] = <matWorldViewProj>;
VertexShaderConstant[4] = <matWorld>;
VertexShaderConstant[7] = <vecSunDir>;
VertexShader = asm
{
vs_1_0
dcl_position v0
dcl_normal v3
dcl_texcoord0 v7
dcl_texcoord1 v8
mov oT2.xy, v7
dp4 oPos.x, c0, v0
dp4 oPos.y, c1, v0
dp4 oPos.z, c2, v0
dp4 oPos.w, c3, v0
dp3 r0.x, c4.xyz, v3.xyz
dp3 r0.y, c5.xyz, v3.xyz
dp3 r0.z, c6.xyz, v3.xyz
dp3 oT0.x, r0.xyz, -c7.xyz
mov oT1.xyz, v8
};
}
pass p1 // ink it
{
CULLMODE=CW;
vertexShaderConstant[0]=<matWorldViewProj>;
//---------------------HERE IT IS!!!!
vertexShaderConstant[16]=0.5; // outline thickness
//-------------RIGHT HERE!
vertexShader = asm
{
vs_1_0
dcl_position v0
dcl_normal v3
dcl_texcoord v7
mov r0,v0
mul r1,c16.x,v3
// Scale the normal
add r0.xyz,r0.xyz,r1.xyz
m4x4 oPos,r0,c0
// Transorm position to clip space
mov oD0, c0
mov r0,c0
};
}
}
";
}
I assume thats the shader code that you are using.
I also use this one.
In the Wiki, you see this first.
vertexShaderConstant[16]=0.5; // outline thickness
Its very missleading... since I always thought that I was to put it in the script too...
But you DONT!
Its inside the mtl_toon material action above(that I posted), Take a look.
Thats what will change the outline thickness.
After that, all you do is add my.material = to the action like this:
action ent_player{
player = me;
my.shadow= on;
my.fat = off;
my.narrow = off;
my.polygon = off;
//////-----CHECK IT OUT
my.material = mtl_toon;
}
Thats all.
I bet thats why it wasn't working for you.
EDIT:
You also need this with your bmaps
bmap bmp_toonlookup=<toonlookup.tga>;
and you also need the small black to white image called toonlookup7yrs.
Rename it to toonlookup
And using photoshop (or some other program like it since paint cant do it) and change the file type from either BMP or PNG Whatever you saved it as from the wiki.
It must be in your project folder.
Now, thats all.
