You don't need to change the code, it won't help. @fear411: Simply include the <NM.wdl> in your project. Then apply the material to your models. @All: Sorry, I forgot to add the static lighting code. I'll add it, fix the above mentioned problems, and maybe more. I didn't use vecAmbient on purpose, because it wasn't working for me. I had included it (as a float4), but it always returned 1.0f in all slots. I will update the code, and then send it to William, as he is currently my supervisor. xXxGuitar511 - Programmer

But Matt's older version on 2.0 (and on 3.0 cards as well). Because of that I would like to have both of them in the WIKI. So we could create some kind of fallback solutions.

You can add the spec-map into the alpha channel if you need it. If you need parallax- or relief-mapping then you can even use the height map. Download: http://www.dexsoft-games.com/freebies/textures/freecrate.zip Preview: This is a gift for you. Use it but please put a finished version of this shader into the WIKI as an alternative to the 2.0 shader from Matt (please do not remove this one). Best regards, Frank Models, Textures and Games from Dexsoft

I have seen this problem before and I think its a UV mapping issue with the mesh I am using. I can remember how I fixed this problem once before. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong with the mesh? Last edited by DWilki; 03/31/07 15:38.

Paste this code into a script and follow the directions. ********************************************************* //Copy the shader code into notepad and save the file as NM.fx in the root directory of your project string fxNM3Light = "NM.fx"; //Assign this action to a mesh (box or sphere). Set the mesh to "cast" in properties and make sure the light is close to your model action DynamicLight { my.red = 187; my.green = 148; my.blue = 11; my.lightrange =600; my.light = ON; } //Assign this material to the model you want normal map/specular effect by adding the material in the properties dialogue //Make sure your model has a diffuse texture in skin1 and a normal map texture in skin 2. //If you want more control of the specular, add a specular map to the alpha channel of the normalmap material mat_nm3lights { flags = tangent; effect = fxNM3Light; } starter LoadFX_startup() { effect_load(mat_nm3lights, fxNM3Light); } ******************************************************** Last edited by DWilki; 03/31/07 16:09.
