Hi!

I've got that soft particle shader from the wiki, but it turned out that it won't work without sky, or with a sky that uses custom shader. I guess it's all related to it's 'depth' thing, but not sure. Can anyone help me out here, or point me in a right direction? Help you in advance.

Some screens:

How it looks like with default acknex sky and without fog:

Default acknex sky + fog, what are those while lines on the edges?

Custom sky shader (thanks to txesmi laugh ) and without fog:


Here are the .fx files:

softparticle.fx
Code:
float4x4 matWorld;
float4x4 matWorldViewProj;
float4 vecViewPos;
float4 vecColor;
float vecSkill1;

texture entSkin1;
texture rttDepth_bmap;
sampler SKIN = sampler_state { texture = (entSkin1);};
sampler DEPTH = sampler_state { texture = (rttDepth_bmap);};

float4 VS (	in float4 P : POSITION, in float2 T : TEXCOORD0, out float2 tex : TEXCOORD0, out float3 depth : TEXCOORD1, out float4 pos : TEXCOORD2) : POSITION {

	tex = T;
	pos = mul(P,matWorld);
	depth = mul(P,matWorldViewProj).xyw;
	return mul(P,matWorldViewProj);
	
}

float4 PS (	in float2 tex : TEXCOORD0, in float3 depth : TEXCOORD1, in float4 pos : TEXCOORD2) : COLOR {

	float4 color = tex2D(SKIN,tex) * vecColor;
	float D = tex2D(DEPTH,0.5 * depth.xy / depth.z + 0.5);
	color.a *= saturate((D - distance(pos,vecViewPos)) / vecSkill1.x);

	return color;

}

technique t{
	
	pass p{
		
		VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 VS();
		PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 PS();
		
	}

}


depth.fx
Code:
float4x4 matWorld;
float4x4 matWorldViewProj;
float4 vecViewPos;

float4 VS (	in float4 P : POSITION, out float4 pos : TEXCOORD0) : POSITION {

	pos = mul(P,matWorld);
	return mul(P,matWorldViewProj);
	
}

float4 PS (	in float4 pos : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR {

	return distance(pos,vecViewPos);
	
}

technique t{ 
	pass p{
		
		VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 VS();
		PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 PS();
		
	}
}


custom sky shader
Code:
float4 vecViewPos;
float4 vecFog;
float4 vecFogColor;
float4 vecSkill1;

float4x4 matWorld;
float4x4 matWorldViewProj;

texture mtlSkin1;
samplerCUBE mtlSkin1SamplerCUBE = sampler_state { Texture = <mtlSkin1>; Mipfilter = NONE; Minfilter = NONE; Magfilter = NONE; };

void SkyVS (
in float4 inPos: POSITION,
out float4 outPos: POSITION,
out float4 outWorld: TEXCOORD1 )
{
	outPos = mul( inPos, matWorldViewProj );
	outWorld = mul( inPos, matWorld );
}


float4 SkyPS (
in float4 inWorld: TEXCOORD1 ) : COLOR0
{
	float3 Dir = normalize ( inWorld.xyz - vecViewPos.xyz );
	float4 Color0 = texCUBE ( mtlSkin1SamplerCUBE, Dir );
	Color0.a = 1.0f;
	
	float Fog = 1.0f - pow ( Dir.y, vecSkill1.x );
	Color0.rgb = lerp ( Color0.rgb, vecFogColor.rgb, Fog );
	
	return Color0;
}



technique Sky
{
	pass p0
	{
		CullMode = None;
		
		VertexShader = compile vs_3_0 SkyVS();
		PixelShader  = compile ps_3_0 SkyPS();
	}

}


And the way it's created:
Code:
sky_ent = ent_createlayer(SPHERE_MDL,  SHOW | SKY | CUBE, 1);
vec_fill(&sky_ent->scale_x, (camera->clip_far * 0.99) / 16);
sky_ent->material = mtl_create();
sky_ent->material->skin1 = bmap_create(sky_bbox_tga);
bmap_to_cubemap(sky_ent->material->skin1);
effect_load(sky_ent->material, "mtl_sky.fx");
sky_ent->material->skill1 = floatv(1.6);


Best regards!
