Very true Matt,

It still is nice to see some simple working source though, especially for us that are newer to shaders. I have been playing around with it for most of the day trying to get it working here, I am feeling a bit deflated I suppose. I am such a nOOb, heh. I'll keep plugging along.

hey... can Eric or Rhuarc or Matt post the dumbed down PS 2.0 version of the shader code for the level and model...

just the shader code that goes into the fx files...

i can't seem to get it working here... no errors, just no effects on either geometry or models.

using 6.31.4 and GeforceFX 5200 dx9c (Eric's demo ran fine)

btw, how do you assign the shader to a level geometry?


thx

The shader runs on my GeForce FX 5200, but the framerate is very low.

it will be slow if you have a lot of lights in one area.. try making the light range smaller and using fewer lights at one time.. when the next beta is relased i will do a new version that will hopefully run faster by lowering the number of passes and lights. Also, if you are using it on level geometry make sure it the blocks are set to "flat" instead of shaded, and "tesselate flat" should be set to "auto"..

tesselate flat auto- is this a pro feature?
I dont see it...

It's an option in the map compiler popup if I remember right.

yeah its in the compile window.. this is absolutely critical to get good framerates in level geometry

MATT... the PS2 shader code... is it up anywhere...

i can't seem to do the mods correctly...


--Mike

no i ahvent done it yet..

k... thx


looking at Eric's code in the bug section... but shader makes objects invisible...

???
