Can I use SET CARTOON SHADING ON with a textured object?

I am using .x -format models. I want the models to have black outlines.

How do I manipulate the lighting for the models? Does the shade image overwrite the texture? Any other ways to have black outlines.

Honstly I don't believe that command works as one would expect. I would look into using another shader if you want to do cartoon shading. Of course, someone might know the key to unlocking the potential of that command, you never know

I can't remember where I found this toon shader (see attached), but I prefer it to DBP's cartoon shader... only works with a single light, but retains original .x textures.

Quote: "
REM Edge image
toon = 1 : LOAD IMAGE "shade.bmp", toon
REM Toon shader
fx = 1 : LOAD EFFECT "toon2.fx", fx, 1
REM Vector for lighting
vec = make vector4( 1 )

REM Apply shader to each limb of your object
perform checklist for object limbs myObject
for limb = 1 to checklist quantity()
if LIMB EXIST( myObject, limb )
SET LIMB EFFECT myObject, limb, fx
endif
next limb

do
REM Update light for shader
position light 1, camera position x(), camera position y(), camera position z()
set vector4 1, camera position x(), camera position y() + cam.distance, camera position z(), 0
set effect constant vector fx, "LightPosition", 1

sync
loop

I would suggest Evolved's cartoon shader if you are looking for a 'cell shaded' 'outlined' 3D look. I used it on my game Odd Blox here:
