New .vsh and .psh

[Aeryna]

I'm trying to put some of the pixels and vertex from NGE into Pre-NGE renaming their names. I'm using them on new objects but they don't look to work.
Anyone know if have those files to be added to system or why they aren't working?.

I believe it's a format issue, if I remember right from what I'd read. Newer stuff the old engine couldn't use/handle.

 

[Aeryna]

So, can't we add new effects?. Do you mean that?

They're HLSL shaders and the code isn't right for the PreCU pipe, so they'd need to be changed/rewritten.

It is possible to add new effects/shaders though, yes.

Random tidbit, the PSH are in .IFF format, with one chunk being the compiled code and one chunk being the raw code in text format, VSH are uncompiled.

I don't know if i'm understanding you but Yes. i renamed those files even in the .iffs but didn't work.

 

[Timbab]

Nope, that's not what I meant. The .PSH file itself is in .IFF format in general, like .WS files are, etc, whereas the .VSH file is basically a raw text file.

You won't get it to work without rewriting the HLSL code, so for that, you'd need someone that knows HLSL and for them to be willing to rewrite them to work for PreCU.

Easiest method is just to find comparable .EFT files and link those inside the problem .SHT files.

The question is will it bring you back to discord?
