and you attach this to an entity?

Just a question about the Shaders, used the example from the AUM Magizine 56 in realtion to the colours used Is it possible to have more then 3 colours representing the bitmaps.

Just wondering incase the max number is 3.

Have tried to use more though get a strange error message.

Just really like to know if it is possible I'll get back to it otherwise well think of another way.

Thanks in advance.

The main question here is, Is it possible to use more then 3 colours to swap the bitmaps too?.

I'm complete new ... I've understand how a shader work, and I've downloaded the DirectX SDK, but how can I create a shader - document (*.fx) ...
Need i compile it or something like that or just like .php create a .txt file and rename it to .fx?
and: can i use ALL functions of a shader in GS6 ?(I've got the extra ed.)
thanks for all answers!

sorry but when I attach this .fx to material... my model is invisible
Why?! No errors appears but no visible model to

I get the same thing as tompo, but mine has an error.
just after SUCCESSFULLY compiling the level, I get the message:

"Error in effect: grasser(1) : syntax error"

(grasser is the name of my material, it's a grass shader)

Why is this???

remember this is AFTER compiling successfully!

EDIT: One last thing, would the shaders from Hitman 4 Blood Money work on 3DGS A6, they are .fx's and I'm pretty sure that A6 can handle shader 2.0!

is anyone EVER gonna post here or what, coz I STILL can't figure out why the hell my copy of Gamestudio so STONED!

it just doesn't like BASIC HLSL scripts!

it can't handle "float" with any number after it, neither does it ever understand the " : " in a script, I've tested these shaders on other things, it's just too Stoned!!!!!!!!!

start a thread asking the question in detail with examples of your code.

no example = no visible problem = no solution.

That last post answered the problem, I had 6.22 which I found couldn't handle the shaders anyway, but I now have them working, I got A7.04,

Thanks to anyone that helped anyway,

to the guy who got invisible models, it's most probably the shader coding, I get it sometimes!
