When I try to use you shader, than everything is just black and does not react on anything! Not even static lights!

But thanks for helping me!

Maybe your card only supports ps 2.0 and vs 2.0
Geforce FX has no support for 3.0 shaders - at least from what I see in the wiki.

I had to step back to the 2.0 shader support, too.

yes it does only suppoer 1 and 2!
But Mats shader is 3.0!
Now how to get it back to 2.0?

In the same tread is a version 2.0 shader.
Just open the thread (all posts) and do a text search backwards until you find it.

Once the next gamestudio version comes out i will make a new Shader with improvements. For now there should be a 2.0 version somewhere.

My GeForce FX 5600 can run the ultimate lighting shader effect perfectly.
v.66.93 driver

Well I found the test level with the v2 and v3 shader but it looks like this:


When I use the file: normalmap_level_ps2.0.fx
I can see that it works, but the Textures are all very very small scaled!
when you get close to them, you can see that it works but why are they so small?


I updated my graphik-driver but it did not help!

congrats on getting em working... it can be a lil confusing/frustrating the very first go round....

... and the second, and the third

but soon it'll come as second nature...



ok, as far as the scaling thing you're experiencing... do this...

open up the shader in a text editor and look for this line of code

Out.Tex = texcoord0.xy*40;

the value at the end may be different than the example i am showing, this is the value i changed to get the textures scaled properly for my particular application.

play with the last value a bit to get the desired effect...



also, the following line affects the light falloff

float LightRange = 0.0001;

again, the last value in my example may be different...


and

float4 gloss = tex2D( sBumpMap, psInStruct.Tex )/32;

will affect the glossiness of the materials appearance...


good luck, i hope this helps a bit

ok, th etestlevel works now!
Next stepm is to add it to my level...

... your welcome, glad you got it working
