1.4 support can of course be added.. i have an asm shader that works. I suggest modifying my orignal asm dx8 shader to run in dx9.. its a quite a trivial task.. just fix the syntax and change a little in the vertex shader.

Eventually i plan on making a ps 2.0 and 1.4 fallback for my HLSL shader but right now.. maybe someone else can do this if they want... its not a big deal really.

Thanks for your help, but this wasn't the error.
There is a problem with the display00.wdl.
If I don't use this wdl then there are no problems

PS: It looks great and the fps are also very good!!!

Can somebody tell me why i can't change the lightrange!

There are only 2 possibilities:
1. The lightrange from the dynamic light is 0 then there is no light
or
2. The lightrange from the dynamic light is >0 then there always the same lightrange!(There is no difference between 1 and 10000)

Can somebody help?

Could you post your dx9 version of the ASM one?

Matt,

I just want to say thank you on behalf of all of us for this shader work! I worked out my normal map tesselation problem and I'm now using flat color textures with detailed normal maps and the results are truly awesome! With a little attenuation and gloss tweaking, I can get great bump and specular effects! Here's a shot of how it stands now, very doom-like in appearance!



I think I'll stick with this formula if it checks out OK on my other PC's (mixture of hardware).

Thanks for the great work!

Gary.

P.S. Ignore the gun model!!!

In Drew and Steempipes 2.0 version is there anyway to get more than 2 dynamic lights working?

Thanks,

Matt

I would suspect that adding more passes would work at a cost to framerate. I have not changed any code to accomplish this, but looking at Matt A's original code might get you in the right direction.

I believe in PS 2.0 you can probably render a maximum of two per pixel lights per pass.. so 8 lights is 4 passes. i recommend doing only 6 lights..that should be 3 passes..

great looking stuff Gazz...

and i want to second your appreciation and thanks to Matt and Drew And Steem... and all those who helped with this...

you guys are all in my will...

anybody have problems with sorting on your normal mapped entities? Im creating them in max using polybump (crytek),
everything is good except when my character turns i can see through him to the other side, the normals all face out though... it only happens at certain angles...

thanks
