It depends on the shader(s) you're referring to, so you'll need to be more specific. Post-bloom or post-processing, or the entity/segment normal/spec shaders bond1 released on the forums. Or, are you referring to the Metro Theater shaders, or the character shaders from bond1 such as the planar shadows from his Viral Outbreak Model Pack. Then there are the original, older shaders we've already had such as the bumpent and illumination.fx, etc.

Nope, it isn`t.

But you can mix shader effects within a custom-written fx file. So it`s possible to have NM and Illumination.

Come to where the madness is:http://www.homegrowngames.at

Hello Marcus_Wright,


Quote: "Could You tell me is it possible to add two shaders at once on one entity?"



In FPSC, "Shaders" are called Effects, so if you want to add two or more effects on an entity or segment, I think it is impossible unless the guy, who has programmed the shader has embedded multiple effects together when programming the shader file and further important the game engine be able to use them.

In each texture however, used in an entity or segment you can use three types of shaders: Diffuse map (yourtex_D), Normal map (yourtex_N) and Specular map (yourtex_S). Please, note those maps (Diffuse, Normal and Specula) just mentioned do not demand shader programming ( .fx files) as those you can find out in Effectbank folder because they are graphical files only.

I hope this might help you to clarify your question.

Cheers,

Northern

HI!

Thanks for a fast reply guys!
What i wanted to achieve is to have this effect:

(https://forumfiles.thegamecreators.com/download/2261284)

on my own models, along with fe. norm_alphaspec_tangentbasis.fx
or any newer .fx for normalmaping if there is any.

I don't have modelpack 57 so i can't preview any of the zombie entities to see how this two effects are put together.

Thanks!
Best Regards
