Yeah, some demos would be really great, because shader-scripting/programming is something totally new to me, and I´m a bit stuck at the moment.

Sorry, if I´m asking stupid questions, but would it be possible to create reflecting materials, i.e. a mirror, puddles, water?

@cremen: Could you please share your pixel-light shader code?

Bye,
Oli

hey,
thanks for including the HLSL thing. I'll give it some more tryouts (i've had some failed attempts today), until i get an FX file that also does the Vertex shading and not only pixel shading.
i'll try and share some demo or .fx files.
i'm joining Oli in asking :
@cremen: Could you please share your pixel-light shader code? I'm very intesrested in how you did that edge

About profiling:
the two new functions are a great start! but i couldn't get them to give me any relevant info on why my game's performance is so slow:
1. for some reason, in pizza morgana project, the counters don't reset between calls to the disable/enable functions, making it hard to filter out the noise, that happens, for example at the beginning of the game.
2. i htink there's a bug if you call Disable for the first time before enable (this is what i added in my game.script in on "Keypress" event)
Code: [Select]
if (Keyboard.Key=="F")  {
Game.DisableScriptProfiling();
Game.EnableScriptProfiling();
}
3. statistics about the functions and methods would be GREATLY helpful.
4. on an unrelaed subject, i noticed the regular WME_DEMO_3D also have two constant running scripts and nothing green in the debugging console, and couldn't figure out what they are (maybe i should post this in my performance thread).

To a certain extent. Since you can render multiple passes, you should be able to render the actor twice, normally and e.g. upside-down, maybe with some pixel shader effect applied to make the reflection actor semi-transparent etc. Whether it would look good depends on the scene layout though.

To be honest, I intended to be used by enabling profiling and keeping it running until you quit game. Then you'll have complete game session stats in the log file. It's possible enabling/disabling multiple times during the session doesn't work properly. I'll look into it.

Ok, I probably confused you with the green icon remark, my mistake. The reality is, at the moment when the console is updated no script is actually *running*, because all of them are either persistent or waiting for something (Sleep, GoTo, method call etc.). The console is not updated everytime a script executes an instruction for performance reasons.

btw, I posted a simple shader preview application (the one I mentioned above).

Hi!

Don´t want to get on your nerves, but has anybody got a working per-pixel lighting shader for me to look at? I´d love to add that feature to my demo.

Thanks,
Oli

2 months. And I don't know, I'm not working on it at the moment.
There are no fatal bugs reported, so it could go to release.

I have one question. Is WME 1.x going to support multi resolution or no? And what about WME 2? It´s really interesting for me.  :)

There are no plans to add new time-consuming features in wme1.x codebase. Focus is on wme2 and when there are important news you'll see them posted here.
