You question doesn't fully make sense.
One way or another you'll use 'dbLoadEffect' and then 'dbSetObjectEffect' on the object itself.

Ah, here is an example:

Just don't worry if it doesn't show as expected (I don't know if it works or not at this time), that's the right way to do it.

mouness,

Just out of interest, have you got it working and if so what version of VS are you using and what OS are you running? The reason I ask is because DarkShader doesn't work here I'm using VS2008 Pro and Vista (32bit)

Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more.

Yeah, DarkShader and Vista don't like each other very much. I have managed to get object shaders working, but fullscreen is pretty much screwed.

It's a shame, because I have paid money for a product that I cannot use. And for some unknown reason XP will not install on my laptop, I have tried the first un-service-packed and service pack one versions and both fail, otherwise I would re-install XP.

The strange thing is, I don't get any error messages it just hangs right after the blue screen appears with the license agreement (the one where you have to press F8 to agree).

I have contacted DELL about it, all they said is to get a copy of 64bit XP, because my CPU is 64bit. But, to be honest I can't see that being anything to do with it, because 64bit CPUs are backwards compatible.

Yeah, I've tried a complete format, deleting all partitions then creating new ones and formating but still no joy. The only thing I can think of is the dual core, but that is highly unlikely.

Dunno

Lastly - is there a BIOS setting to make the 32bit compat stay on or something like that? Shoot - I'd ALMOST consider 64bit linux, and run a XP Virtual Machine....

That's weird. Though I never tried XP on a 64bit CPU - I HAVE installed a 32bit Linux (Fedora) into a 64bit AMD no issue - but we are talking a DELL - I used a homebrew - name brand motherboard, namebrand cpu, memory etc...

you have a laptop and don't have the flexibility most likely...sad... I hope you have some success soon... I see how that could be REALLY frustrating.

Good Luck Bro.

Jason, you are a genius.

When I first got my laptop I setup the BIOS for optimum performance, so I reset the settings to the factory defaults and well... I'm now posting via XP

Thanks mate, I owe you one

I have built FX shaders in both ATI RenderMonkey and Nvidia FX Composer. I am saving the results as .FX files.

I have tried to use these FX files in DarkGDK (dbLoadEffect * dbSetObjectEffect) without success. I have some simple .FX like a rainbow effect, and these work 100% fine.

Do I need to get DarkShader to use these files? Will DarkShader add extra libs and commands to DarkGDK to handle more complex FX files?
