Hello all!

I was scrolling through the Learning To Write Shaders thread recently when I realized that there are A LOT of shaders in there! However, they are difficult to find since the thread is over 40 pages long. This thread should fix that problem. All of the shaders posted in that thread are archived here for easy access. Don't worry, I didn't type this all by hand; I had a DBP program parse through it for me and create this post . Hopefully none of the links will be dead since the files are hosted on TGC server (they're all attached to posts).
Some of the files listed may be non-working shaders that people needed help with, so I advise you to read the original message before you start working with anything. Who knows, maybe there's a solution a few posts down . Also, some of the shaders that were posted in Code Snippets are missing from this archive.

You can click on a shader link to download it. If you want to know more about the shader then you can view the original message in the thread by pressing "Click Here To View".

The shaders are organized by ZIP/RAR files (probably demos) and lone FX files.

And that's it! Enjoy the shaders

Nice! Cool job man, and that must've been a pretty neat program :p

Thanks . Hopefully it'll be helpful to people looking to add effects to their games. I'm sure I'll be looking here whenever I need a new shader or just want to learn something new.

The program didn't take too long to make, I just had to find some key words in the html code so the program would know what to look for .

Also it's not too hard to navigate. If you use your browser's "FIND" function then it isn't too hard to get what you're looking for

Great idea. Well done.

Yah, great idea! But, it seems that you've missed the one that I posted on page 48?
Well, I know it doesn't work with DBPro (yet), but now that I remember, I asked GG if he could take a look at it, and maybe make it work with DBPro? > *hint* *hint*

Cheers

@Green Gandalf:

@The Slayer:
Your shader was in a code snippet. This was only able to detect shaders that were attached as file attachments. If you attach the shader as a .FX file to your post then it should appear when I next update the post

He did take a look but didn't take it much further at the time. You never know he might give it another look.

Okay, no problems. I'll add it as an attachement later. Thanks.



That would be great, GG! I appreciate it!

Wow, that saves a lot of searching good job fella!

I think it's time Green Gandalf put some shaders up there though (lazy so and so)...

...or someone other than GG...

The Slayer



It would help a lot if you had an example of the gradient texture and a screenshot - and some calling code, even C++ code (), would help me see how it's supposed to be used. There's only so much that you can deduce from the shader code itself (most of which is quite clear incidentally).

Edit: Fixed Quote tags.

Well, for a second, I thought you were mad at me or something. Nah, I'm just kidding.


I know, but I'll have to look it up first. It's been a while, so it could take some time to find it. But, now that I have my demo ready, I'll have more time to search.

Cheers

By the way, I've rewritten that shader and tidied up the code (so I can read it easily) and it works after a fashion. It would help to know how it's supposed to be used though. My guess is that it's supposed to be applied to a sphere which encloses and is somewhat larger than the corresponding sun, moon or planet object. But that is a guess (I seem to be doing a lot of that today ).



Yes, that's my fault so take your time. At least I've got it coded in a form that's easy for me to pick up again.

Actually I think we've started discussing this on the wrong thread - I'll post on the original thread next time.
