At the request of some users I have included a fix for the specular shader seen in my Shader Collection.
It is a standalone level with the fake specular envmap applied to cbabe with opensource code.
I hope you enjoy,

Matt Coles

Thanks for the comments, this is just a little fill in before Shader Collection 2. Fixing the old collections probs. Does the shader run fine on your systems? Any input?

Here is the code for normal mapping with shader 2.0 / 7 Lights and Fog after another request.
NormalMapping And Fog!


Enjoy,

Matt Coles

soz to triple post, but post time expired and I forgot the code for the dynamic light needed for normal mapping:

var light_dist=1700; //this is how far away form a light it will be visible.
action light_pos_object
{
wait(5);
my.invisible=on;
my.passable=on;


my.lightrange=50; //could be set also to a skill


my.red=my.skill1; //just put in the r,g,b values
my.green=my.skill2;
my.blue=my.skill3;

my.cast=on; //casts a shadow when on

}

I just wan't to mention, that the code and the envmap bitmap of the specular shader was taken from one of my projects. You can use it and do whatever you want.
I don't know who has include it in the shader collection 1.0, but i would be happy to see it in use.

If you want to see it in an application: Download

Yes that is right, Shader Collection is a collection of codes posted by experts for free to use on the Shaders Forum, the credits for all the original authors I could find are in the shader collection zip on acknex unlimited. I should really put the credits in the fix zip files too Sorry ChrisB.
The idea of shader collection is to show the new 3d gamestudio users how to apply shaders to their projects , I had requests to do this and I was only learning at the time too.
Shader Collection 2 will feature all new shaders such as realtime displacement, projected shadows, fresnel water and more. For now enjoy the fixes and don't kill yourselves waiting for Shader Collection 2

update: fixed the zip update shader files with credits
