New Update:
https://github.com/BoHHavoc/ShadeC-EVO
Quote:

- Moved all code of the Objectshader to default.fx
- Added Hooks to Objectshader to easily create/change/add functions, thus being able to create new shaders which derive from the base Objectshader
- Fixed "_destroy" crashes
- Fixed Gamma Correction
- Fixed SSAO Resolution Change
- Added Example 05

After publishing i get an error:
"error:88760b59"
What does that mean?

This might be the default.fx or d3dcompiler_42.dll missing...try the new Update, i changed some things so this shouldn't happen again. Please let me know if it works.

sys_free is evil


Why? Please explain.

Because it does exactly what it should do, which was bad in my case wink creating and sys_freeing something every frame is slow (at least it is for me). ptr_remove seems like a better way of doing it, as in that case the memory is only marked as free, but not really free, so other objects can now write into that memory areas and just overwrite the old data (at least i think that's the way it works). If anyone has more info on this, please go ahead and let us know laugh
While further searching for info about this, i stumbled upon the safe_remove macro which i will use in the future. I always forget to manually set object = NULL after using ptr_remove. safe_remove does that job.








[edit] Here's some examples of what you can do when deriving from Shade-C's objectshader. Note how both objects cast correct shadows, although their shape is modified by a shader. Both examples are also included in the latest update.
