Real shaders are here. Cel & Bloom

[cdiddy7]

I Know this is the hi res texture thread but it seems this would best fit here.

Here you guys might like this. It's not in the greatest shape but It's a start. I concocted this shader when I was working on a bloom shader mod for Resident Evil 4. Its based off of Timeslips DLL for Oblivion. I can confirm it works with Project 1.7 and mudlords rice 6.1.3. To Install place in the same folder as the project64.exe . Prssing the the + on the number pad toggles the effect on and off.

UPDATE...
I've updated the shader to look a bit more vivid and some of the really dark spots aren't so dark anymore feel free to give suggestions.

You can make this affect more bearable by changing the the brightness and gamma etc. in nvidia control panel like these settings here.
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x240/fugdunny/zzn.jpg

so they look more like this (these pictures brightness and contrast have been edited quickly in photoshop so the control panel tweaks look better)

[MasterPhW]

Nice to see that!
It's great to see some good new ideas!
Looking forward to updates and more shaders!

[mudlord]

Nice discovery. Is this a code hack? If so, can you send the source files my way please, so I can implement these into the renderers?

If not, you just saved me loads of issues. I have been grappling with the best way to compile shaders on offscreen surfaces for ages, and yet you bet me. So well done for this approach.

Now one more question, is the code explicitly tied into the bloom shader? Because, I have thoughts on coding more shaders for this. :)

EDIT: Found the authors site, and he even gave out the source code!!!

Thanks for bringing this mod to my attention!

[NightK]

Great :D
Although I Can't make it work, for some reason, I hope to see a more colorfull version in the future, and hope that this helps mudlord :D

[mudlord]

Works brilliantly here with the 6.1.3 DX9 plugin....

[NightK]

I press +, and n-rage plugin changes the pak to memory pak, I disabled n-rage plugin and tried it again and nothing happened maybe I'm doing something wrong :P

[mudlord]

Man this is annoying...

Sometimes the shaders sporadically work, sometimes they don't..Which is a major shame, as I made did some mods to the fullscreen effect DLL, so that it works on other programs than Oblivion (so it allows for greyscale effects). But unfortunately I am unable to test, due to the original DLL being quite erratic in its function...
Oh well.

[EmuFan]

Nice one. Got no effect at first, but it´s working nicely now.

EDIT: Mud, the full screen issue in rice, you know, when it crashes when you try to exit full screen..Is there any chance to fix that? Or is it something i forgot to check in the configuration? It has been that way as long as i can remember..

Double edit: Try this with Paper Mario, it´s not bad...Besides the usual flickering issue.

Triple edit: Double posters, use the edit button!

[Terranigma]

Very cool! I saw your RE4 bloom mod too!

[Agozer]

That Resident Evil 4 Bloom shader mod looks sweet as candy.

[cdiddy7]

Mudlord if you look at the (cel) fx file you'll see that this shader is totally ghetto rigged there is allot of useless junk in there like the bright pass and bloom code which can be deleted, I kind of just whipped this up quick. The edge detect shader isn't that great ether I modified it the best I could but other shader passes don't like to work with it. I've been Looking for a better edge detect shader for while now and haven't had much luck. As far as the source code go's modifying and rebuilding it has also been tricky. The current DLL only seems to support two passes and seems to have a hard time using long assembly passes.
I notice for me at least that this shader runs Mario with just a black and white edge detect effect, so some games handle the effect differently.

Also this might interest you, I have nothing to do with it but its a very nice Bloom effect for opengl. It works in opengl mode but there are a few problems you might want to check it out http://www.madabouthats.org/projects/cgshader

[mudlord]

Thanks for the link.

I have been having severe troubles getting your mod to work at all, and even Timeslip's sources, even though my hardware supports Shader Model 4.0..

Anyway's if anyone could get this (http://vba-m.ngemu.com/personalfiles/genericshader.rar) DLL to work, I would love to hear it.

[cdiddy7]

That DLL looks like the simple black&white shader if it is, it only works for oblivion and has very limited functionality.

The DLL I posted should work for zelda oot using project64 1.7 (and probably 1.6) and ver. 6.1.3 of your plugin. and I also have a DirectX10 card, 8800GTS. I'll look closer at the dll you posted and see if i can do anything with it.;)

[mudlord]

The DLL I posted should work for zelda oot using project64 1.7

Thanks for the tip...I'll get 1.7 from the pj64-emu.com beta section then and try it out...

[mudlord]

That DLL looks like the simple black&white shader if it is, it only works for oblivion and has very limited functionality.

Main thing, was I removed the checks for Oblivion, so it could have the potential of working on other DX9 apps...

My main objective is to whip up something that allows for different shader effects, like nightvision, B/W, sepia and other things....:)..So far, its not going well, since I can't get your original mod to work. Though, once I get it working well, I might then be able to test out the DLL more thoroughly and add more shaders...

[mudlord]

And confirmed. Shaders in 1.7 work fine, with your mod...

[cdiddy7]

You should look into the Standard version at the top of Timeslips page http://timeslip.chorrol.com/FakeHDRDownload.html and see if you can get that up and working it should give you more room to work with if you can.

[mudlord]

The current DLL only seems to support two passes and seems to have a hard time using long assembly passes.

I looked, and it seemed like it just supported Oblivion, as it uses a binary patcher to patch a specific offset so it enforces use of that DLL. It would be possible just to make the DLL hook the Project64 process, but then thats restricting things...

In other news, I fixed the multiple passes issue. The HDR shader now works great . :) So, shaders with more than 2 passes should theorectically work, but I haven't checked.

[mudlord]

The edge detect shader isn't that great ether I modified it the best I could but other shader passes don't like to work with it. I've been Looking for a better edge detect shader for while now and haven't had much luck.

Tried using a Sobel edge detection shader?

[mudlord]

Link for updated shader DLL : http://vba-m.ngemu.com/personalfiles/mudshade.rar

[mudlord]

Mud, the full screen issue in rice, you know, when it crashes when you try to exit full screen..Is there any chance to fix that? Or is it something i forgot to check in the configuration? It has been that way as long as i can remember..

Yeah EmuFan I am well aware of it. I tried to debug what happens, but PJ64 even kills the debugger when it crashes, making it super hard to test & fix. Although, I have a idea with this code, so you might not have to use 1.7, IF my plan works....

[mudlord]

Seems now the DLL works fine even with arbitrary shaders....:matrix:

Here is a simple two pass multiblending shader...

http://www.sendspace.com/file/o5qlu7

[mudlord]

Got rid of all useless cel shading code:


//These variables will get set automatically
texture tex1;
texture tex2;

float2 rcpres;

sampler s0 = sampler_state { texture = <tex1>; };

//Use these to modify the behaviour of the dll
int ToggleKey=107;

float2 PixelKernel[6] =
{
{ 1, 0.5},
{0.5, 1},
{ 1, 0.5},
{ 0.5, -1},
{-1, 0.5},
{ 0.5, -1}
};


float4 ColourPass( in float2 Tex : TEXCOORD0 ) : COLOR0
{
float4 color = tex2D( s0, Tex );
color.a = 1;
return color;
}

float3 LuminanceConv = { -0.2125f, -0.7154f, -0.0721f };

float4 PostProcessPS(in float2 Tex : TEXCOORD0 ) : COLOR0
{
float4 Orig = tex2D( s0, Tex );
float4 Sum = 0;
for( int i = 0; i < 6; i++ )
Sum += ( abs( Orig - tex2D( s0, Tex + (PixelKernel[i]*rcpres) ) ) - 0.5f ) * 1.2 + 0.5f;
return saturate( dot( LuminanceConv, Sum ) ) * 1.1;
}

Technique T0
{
pass p0 { PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ColourPass(); }
pass p1
{
PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 PostProcessPS();
}
}



There's the optimized version.

[mudlord]

Finally had time to write some shaders...

http://vba-m.ngemu.com/personalfiles/mudshadepack.rar

Contains:

* Colour shaders to change the screen to be overall red/green/blue
* A black and white shader
* A emboss shader
* A sharpening shader
* A blur shader
* A modulating wave shader
* A photo negative (inverted) colour shader
* A striped shader

Enjoy..

I'd like to try it but for some reason I can't make it work, can someone explain to me how?

Like a tutorial for dummies :P
Because everyone is achieving it but me...

[EmuFan]

mud, you are on FIRE today! Keep it up!

[Terranigma]

Anyone have some screens with bloom? I'd like to see what it looks like in an N64 game.

[Ryuran]

HDR didn't work, probably because my onboard videocard.
This Bloom effect is from cgshader:

http://xs124.xs.to/xs124/08085/cgshader2634.jpg

Terranigma, just download MudShaderPack and extract d3d9.dll and fakehdr.fx (each effect is in a different folder, you can activate one at a time) to the same folder that Project64.exe is in.

[Zane93]

I'm having trouble, I know this prbably only works with 1.7 but if it works with 1.6 I need to know how, but if it doesnt does anyone have a bloom filter that works?

[mudlord]

EmuFan, if you are a beta tester of PJ64, I found a alternative solution to your issue.

Try build 46...Fullscreen reses work perfectly with my plugin with that. And shaders work fine too.

[mudlord]

but if it doesnt does anyone have a bloom filter that works?

I've been experimenting with coding a bloom shader...

Well, i´ll be darn. Just checked it out. Exits fullscreen with NO PROBLEM. I am very relieved, that bug was a real pain, had to restart my computer every time. Thanks for notifying me, haven´t been at the site for ages.

[cdiddy7]

oops, I uploaded the wrong file. got to many fakehdrs scattered all over my comp I'll fix the link in a min.

EDIT: ok fixed it. sorry bout that guys.

[mudlord]

Nice to see shaders with more than 2 passes working :) Seems then my fixes worked. I'm also working with byuu to get these shaders implemented with BSNES....

[Djipi]

I'm sure with work , we can made a perfect Cel chaded mod^^ .I hope you can do that to finishing Cel Mod.

[AntonJ3000]

I'm having trouble, I know this prbably only works with 1.7 but if it works with 1.6 I need to know how, but if it doesnt does anyone have a bloom filter that works?

I also use 1.6, Seems like it gives a Bloom-ish Effect with all kinda filters to Super Mario 64.

[Terranigma]

I only have JP64 1.6 as well, so I really don't have a chance in getting this to work.

BTW, who will be the first to attempt normal mapping on the N64? :drool:

[Ryuran]

It would be nice to see the cel shader plugin showing the correct colors ^^

[mudlord]

lol gee your welcome for the shader , this project just got started, just experimenting there Ryuran.

[Zane93]

Mudlord I have your plugin, will this stuff work with It?

[Twilight_hero]

sorry to bother, but i did what you said and when ever i open the rom, pj64 1.7 just closes

[Terranigma]

A bump map shader? Hmmmz...

Not the simple height map version, I'm talking about the more advance version generated from a detailed model. Although it would be pretty hard for those of use without powerful machines to render the high detailed models. I did see another break through where you can take a 2D picture and create a normal map from that.

[cdiddy7]

Okay, are you using my latest DX9 plugin?

That is essential for this to work.

I'm considering modding the plugin to use the same code as the DLL currently uses, but it might be tricky. Especially when texrects and fillrect commands need to be filtered. Which possibly means things can be filtered twice...Unless I modify the render loop...

The celshaded screenshots look amazing !

The result is so good, we may start to consider what type of lightning we want to use in this shader. In the screenshot above, the range of color on Link clothes is linearly mapped — maybe we could find a more cartoonish color mapping ? (I have in mind this white paper from Valve, explaining how they created characters shading in TF2 (http://www.valvesoftware.com/publications/2008/GDC2008_StylizationWithAPurpose_TF2.pdf) (pdf), from an artistic point of vue — the interesting part is about the biased lighning term, which avoid a linear shading.)

I'm SO desperate to get this to work, but it's just not cooperating! Can someone maybe post a checklist of plugins/files/whatever I need to get this to work? I have Mudlord's plugin as my graphics plugin, and I extracted everything from the OP into both my PJ 1.6 folder (I know it's been said I need 1.7, but I can't seem to find it anywhere without donating to the official PJ64 site), plus I extracted the files into the plugins folder JUST IN CASE. Still no dice. Any suggestions? Is PJ64 1.7 absolutely vital?

[Terranigma]

Yes, I think you have to have PJ64 1.7.

Well... use your imagination the Internet is full of endless information you know :devil:. Where do you get your Roms? I can only guess. :pirate: ;)

ps. I do not condone piracy in any way.

[Elite Knight]

For the cel shadder i would add a smoth layer to make it like LOZ WW still ruff edges a tiny bit. Still amazzing work.

Also i cant get it to work either i followes the steps can u explain them in steps exp.

1. Install in dic
2. So on So forth

And add the whole file name leave out the file type so we can get it to work i dont understand a little to.

You probley dont even know what im saying.

[Twilight_hero]

I have extracted the dll and the fakehdr.fx to the project 64 directory and i have put on the Mudlord's Rice Video plugin Build 6.1.3- DX9, but everytime i load up the rom, it doesn't work, it just closes all of a sudden.

But seriously, isn't 1.7 only in its beta stage? Is this the version I really NEED to use? Is that the only reason when I load up OoT and hit + on the number pad crazy shading/bloom crap doesn't explode onto my screen?

E: Finally got this working and it looks amazing!Too bad about the program crashing when leaving full-screen, though.

[mudlord]

Doesn't crash for me....
EmuFan knows why

[cdiddy7]

Color's getting a hell of a lot better no more poop brown all over the place. and now the textures aren't all corrupt in fact it now gives the allusion of bump mapping and dark areas look much better.

can somebody tell me what to google

[cdiddy7]

here is a link. https://ricevideo.bountysource.com/

Edit again; never mind 6.1.3 comes with 6.1.4

[cdiddy7]

Just tested with 1964, it works fine. Those who can"t find pj64 1.7 can use the 1964 emulator with muldlord rice 6.1.3 not 6.1.4

[Mariowario130]

this doesn't work, if it does then how do I make it work. Pressing "+" isn't best solution for a button

[EmuFan]

Works fine for me. Do it as written, use the correct plugin. Put it in the installation folder. How the hell can you miss?

[Mariowario130]

I do what is said to do, but it just doesn't work for me. Is there a plugin setting I need to have with said plugin?

[Big Robot Bill]

'Thought I'd join in on the craze of this shader not working. I load up 1964 with 6.1.3 DX9 and I keep getting the errors "Error to start video" and soon after "g_pRender is NULL," both coming from Mudlord's plugin. Both files for the shaders are in the root directory of 1964. PJ64 1.6 also fails to work (but it actually loads up the game, but pressing "+" doesn't do anything). I've tried the other versions of Mudlord's Rice and nothing seems to work. My graphics card is rather old, so that may be the problem. It is a nVida Riva TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro HAL. It does have the latest drivers from the support site, though.

So, is my graphics card the problem or have I overlooked something?

[cdiddy7]

^Yeah it looks like ur video card is the problem. u need a graphics card that supports pixel shader 2.0. It wouldn't work with PJ64 1.6 it only works with 1.7 or 1964.


I do what is said to do, but it just doesn't work for me. Is there a plugin setting I need to have with said plugin?

What is your video card? Does it support pixel shader 2.0?

[mudlord]

It is a nVida Riva TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro HAL

Your video card does not support HLSL or assembly style pixel shaders. At all. There's your issue. You'll get shaders working IF you severely upgrade your video card. A GeForce FX or upwards should be fine. A Radeon 9600 should work great.

[X-Fi6]

Hmm, this isn't working for me either.

This is when I use your Rice Video 1.6.4 normal and DX9 versions, as well as Jabo's 1.7.

I put the d3dx9.dll file in the Project64 folder and I run PJ64 1.7, and when I start a game, when I press + on the number pad nothing happens--same with when I'm in fullscreen mode.

I'm using an ATI Radeon x1600 with the latest drivers, with Windows XP x64 and DirectX 9.

Any ideas? I highly doubt it's because I'm using x64 Windows...

[mudlord]

The D3D9 patched DLL will only work with DX9 plugins and applications. Nothing else.

Which 1.7 builds have you tried?

i want to try this but every time a use it my screen go white i want to know if this have something to do with ma video card i have a ATi RADEON 9250

[Mariowario130]

What is your video card? Does it support pixel shader 2.0?

yes my card supports it, however I'm having problems with it not working or with the plugin itself. I tried Project64 1.7 and 1964. Still the same things happen, nothing.

[Ryuran]

Cdiddy7's DLL (all versions) works fine with Majora's Mask, but I couldn't make it work with Ocarina of Time... Why does it happen? I'm using the same configuration for both games.

Edit: Nevermind...I switched to 800x600 and its working now.

[Mariowario130]

Edit: Nevermind...I switched to 800x600 and its working now.

ahh, so thats the problem. It works now

[Noobnugget]

Any suggestions? Is PJ64 1.7 absolutely vital?
No. Shaders work fine in 1.6 too.

[jdsony]

This is exciting. Looks like when I ditch my desktop I'll have to opt for a laptop with a half decent graphics card.

[mamudi]

Wow I am Really Amazed!
But I have a question Will it work with Djipi Celda Pack?
thnx for the great work

These 2 shots look great

yes, it will work with any game.

[Driscol]

the bloom looks a bit over the top, is there any chance of a slightly duller version?

[jdsony]

I'm having a weird problem. I tried the Bloom and it worked fine but now when I try and replace it with one of the other effects it just gives me the Bloom one everytime. I copied over the shader with a couple different ones but it stays the same.

Ok the mudshader pack they all work so the issue is just related to some of the other shaders people have been posting.

So they do actually work the results are just different than expected. It seems many of the FX slightly alter the colour output which is too bad when that's not the intention. Neat results though.

[Angel O'Death]

I'm having a strange issue. 6.1.3 DX9 won't show up in the selection box under options -> settings -> plugins. I've tried 1.7.0.46 and 1.7.0.55.

6.1.4 shows up and works fine.

[Driscol]

so no chance of a duller bloom

[Marink]

Hey, this seems really good. I only just found out about this scene but your doing some really awesome work. But it doen't work on the 6.1.4 plugin, so does anyone have a link to a 6.1.3 plugin.

Much appreciated.

[MaxiPioche06]

Hi,

Rice's video 6.1.3 plugin is contained in Rice's release 6.1.4.
Download release from here : https://ricevideo.bountysource.com/downloads

Hope this helps.

[mudlord]

If people are interested, I'm planning a plugin update for the DX9 plugin. It will only support D3D9, so that the plugin will be smaller in size. I'm also planning on adding the same 32x texture support as in 6.1.3, so retexturers could use that. Though, to preserve compatibility with Glide64, its best that only 4x textures are used.

[Ryuran]

Great news !!!
I can hardly wait to use your new plugin :bouncy:

[EmuFan]

That´s great news indeed. 10 posts up: I LOVE the bloom effect in Majoras Mask.

I love you, man.

Oh, any chance the plugin will also have added supports for a few more games and improved support for existing games?

[mudlord]

love you, man.

Heheheh,

and I managed to patch everything to work on 1.6!!!

So shaders now work with PJ64 1.6, too


I need some testers to help me test with various emulators, anyone interested?

As Koolsmoky explained (http://www.emuxhaven.net/forums/showpost.php?p=77981&postcount=226), GlideHQ accepts arbitrary texture magnification ratio in the power of two numbers, x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, x64, x128, ...
However, magnification ratio above x4 is just a useless waste of memory, IMO.

Thanks for correcting me :)


However, magnification ratio above x4 is just a useless waste of memory, IMO.

I beg to differ. It could be used for very small textures to boost quality. Though, I agree that using them extensively is overkill. But I guess thats a choice the texture designers can make.

[Driscol]

oh srry i just found out my graphics card is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaally old
rly srry.

[mudlord]

That sucks. Oh well, thanks for trying.

[Unusual_Rex]

Were can I download the latest bloom and Cel effects? There are so many links throughout the thread, which ones are the newest?

Edit: Okay, I found the stuff, but I can't get any of the effects to work! I press + on the NumPad, but nothing happens! I've got an nVidia Geforce 8800 so I doubt that it's the graphic card, any help?

[Ryuran]

You doesn't need to press "+", at least I didn't have to. If it's not working try changing the resolution. Some games only works at especific resolutions...

Set your graphics mode to Pixel Shader.
PJ16

Configure Graphics plugin

DirectX

Combiner type drop down list: Pixel Shader

1964

Video Settings

Rest is the same.

[Unusual_Rex]

Dang it, I still can't get these working...

[Doommarine23]

Graphics card?

[isidor]

I'm having problems with filefront, can someone please upload the bloom shader on some other site?

[MikiZora]

I rather like the bloom cell it looks like how it would of looked during animated production oh and i cant help with file front it likes to always work for me

[VinnyC]

I have gotten this plugin to work correctly two times out of about a hundred tries. I am honestly clueless on how to get this thing to work. I have an 8800GTX with WinXP and the latest WHQL graphics driver.

I even edited the fakehdr.fx file to reference a different key on the keyboard with no luck. How on earth do I get this to work consistenly?!? I've tried different resolutions, rebooting, re-downloading the necessary files, I've tried setting the affinity of PJ64 to run on one core, setting the compiler mode to Pixel Shader along with DirectX (even though when it did work I did NOT have it on pixel shader mode), I've reinstalled pj64, set textures to 16bit, set textures to 32bit, turned Anisotropic filtering to 16x, turned Anisotropic filtering off, reinstalled the rice plugins, tried it with hi-res textures, regular textures, i've used pj64 1.6 and pj64 1.7....there has got to be a bug in one of these dll files or something. Is there any way to tell if it is even loading the d3d9.dll & fakehdr files correctly?:crazy:

[Driscol]

i THINK you have to use open gl.

[Graxer]

I have gotten this plugin to work correctly two times out of about a hundred tries.
I have exactly the same problem. It really annoys me!:(

[death--droid]

XD how does everyone have pj64 1.7 when there website donating = dead.

Oh yeah it depends how the plugin your using is built it might not accept the shaders as they can may or may not be programmed for the rendering engine it user as the can either use OpenGL or DirectX(D3D)

[VinnyC]

I'm using the Rice 6.1.3 DX9 plugin (the right one). Also, we get PJ64 1.7 from TORRENTS. It seems buggier than version 1.6 though. Anyways, I want this to work! Someone please fix it fix it fix it fix it!

[EmuFan]

Oh yeah it depends how the plugin your using is built it might not accept the shaders as they can may or may not be programmed for the rendering engine it user as the can either use OpenGL or DirectX(D3D)It´s very simple. You only have to donate ONCE, and then you can get all the builds. Probably those who have it, donated a LONG time ago.

[MasterPhW]

Also, we get PJ64 1.7 from TORRENTS. It seems buggier than version 1.6 though. Anyways, I want this to work! Someone please fix it fix it fix it fix it!
Yeah, you can see what's you fault, do you? You download 1.7 from ILLEGAL sources, and it's just an old bugged and hacked release. That's it. So no support by anyone.

[VinnyC]

lol gee thanks. If Project 64 would open up their donation thing again, I would love to donate. I can't help it if they closed it for some reason. Also, the only reason i downloaded PJ64 1.7 is because i could not get the HDR to work with 1.6. Since it doesn't work with 1.7 either, I have already deleted it and am back to using 1.6

So if someone would kindly consider either giving step-by-step instructions on getting the HDR thing to work with version 1.6, or maybe figure out how to get it to load the fakehdr & d3d9.dll files that would be wonderfully helpful.

[gitech]

I checked out your flash comparison for OOT and I am impressed. I would like to know if I could do the same thing. What do I need and can it be done so that it would display here within a thread?

As for PJ64 1.7 I do not have it but I (like many others) would like to know what is going on with it as well. I hope it is not dead.

I noticed the authors were working on it specifically for Castlevania LOD at some point. I have put thousands of hours into my LOD hi-res pack and was hoping it may spur some new enthusiasm for making progress in the way of emulators and plugins...namely PJ64 1.7 and Mudlords/rice so the game could run without error and with all of the sound channels and no sound pops.

[VinnyC]

I'm glad you like it! If you have flash, you are more than welcome to try to do the same thing, however it wasn't as easy as you might hope. There was a lot of actionscripting involved to get everything working, and I don't think you would be able to post it in a thread.

I honestly would like to do another one of these comparison things myself using the HDR mod, hence why i'm so adamant about getting it to work. So... if anyone would like to help... that would be great!

You loose a lot of respect for something like that...However, i am sure that even several of the mods here have downloaded stuff illegally (Don´t you deny it). Like roms, but they don´t blurt it out like that. And i don´t believe you when you say you want to donate.

GOD, i´m in a pissed mood today, and you just added to it.

Ages ago, I wrote a generic patch so shaders will work on mostly any targeted app. Including Rice Video under Project64 1.6. And all versions of BSNES (and byuu personally found the patch cool :bouncy: ).

Currently, I can't be arsed to update it. But if people use warez stuff, why should I bother?

Not dead, just on haitus. Jabo and zilmar have got personal and business lives, remember?

[VinnyC]

lol oh you guys, like you've never used a torrent before. Have them open up the donations again, and I will happily donate. Why would they close donations anyway? "These people want to give us their money, quick stop them!" ?????

Also, I already legally own all these games as well, including the master quest, which may be saying more than quite a few of the users here. I own every single copy of every zelda game made for every system including the three CDI games, as well as demo discs / cartridges for many others.

So please don't start getting worked up because I tried using an 'illegal' copy of pj64 1.7 (which won't even start anyway). I'm pretty sure all roms are illegal, even for 'backup purposes'.

Thanks for replying mudlord. Yes, personal lives ARE more important than any of this. ;) I would like to ask you if at some point you might be able work with me to solve some problems I have with LOD. The first one could be a fix that may greatly improve the performance of any hi-res pack and/or allow any texture artist to make all textures in a game hires without slowdown. I am referring to what I call "trouble textures" for lack of a better name. You can read about them in post # 109 here: http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=43535&page=11 ... and datadayne and cyberman's posts on the top of the next page.

Another one is getting all sound channels to work with PJ64 and your plugin. I do not know if the problem is with your plugin but instead with PJ64 as all sound channels work in 1964 with your plugin. The problem with 1964 though is that the sound pops much more. I have tried nearly every other emulator and plugin combination possible and it's always a so-close-but-no-cigar scenario. It seems a combination of emulator and plugins to get perfect graphics and sound may be within reach.

[machinbudule]

Hi mudlord,
Thanks for your amazing job ! I'm really impressed and I would really enjoy to install those shaders on my PC but links to your vba-m's personalfiles page are all dead (hlslpatch.rar...) I've googled and browsed your site but didn't find anything. Please reupload them:bouncy:
Or anyone who has them.

[Noobnugget]

Yeah, you can see what's you fault, do you? You download 1.7 from ILLEGAL sources, and it's just an old bugged and hacked release. That's it. So no support by anyone.
lolz. I would torrent it to, to be honest. Paying for, not only a beta(which might not even run, due to the nature of beta software), but what is also supposed to be free software(since you can't really legally charge for this kinda stuff without permission) makes no sense. And besides, at the rate things are going... Duke Nukem Forever will be out before this is. Thus giving many like me even less incentive to throw money at them.

[Toasty]

Project64 is not free software; it is freeware. There is a difference. When you donate, you are donating; you are not paying for software. In gratitude for your donation the PJ64 team grants you access to beta builds. And finally, its current lack of availability is not an excuse to spread incomplete copies of their work that aren't ready to be publicly distributed yet.

Honestly, all this complaining about the policies of the PJ64 team is getting old. It's not ready yet, so it's not being released. Donations aren't currently accepted on the PJ64 site. That's that. Can we get back on topic now?

[VinnyC]

Topic = why doesn't the Bloom Lighting always work (read previous posts for more info)

[machinbudule]

By the way, where is the bloom effect file link please ? :ph34r:

[mudlord]

but links to your vba-m's personalfiles page are all dead (hlslpatch.rar...) I've googled and browsed your site but didn't find anything. Please reupload them
Or anyone who has them.

I have a extremely busy schedule this month, but afterwards, OR when I have a teensy bit free time, I will update my website, and reupload cdiddy's and I's pixel shaders.

[machinbudule]

Thanks Mudlord and all the best for your exam :)

[mudlord]

No probs.

I am in the process of creating new shaders as well as rewriting the old ones to be more configurable. I aim to comment them so that ease of use is there. So, in the next few days, I will upload the updated package.

[Anklt45]

Hi, i've been looking at those screens, and they look awesome, great work :D

But I have a few questions, and some problems:

- When you tal about RV.dll, are you refering to RiceVideo.dll, or to another plugin?
- Where does the d4rk.dll have to be?

I ask this, because i have already tryed everything. Patching the RiceVideo.dll does nothing, i don't get any effect, with d4rk.dll in the exe dir or the plugins dir, same for shader.fx, even using the combiner type "pixel shader". Patching the RiceVideo6.1.3DX9.dll and using it, crashes the emulator :(

I don't know what else to do, can someone help me?

Ah, those are my specs, just if needed:

Windows XP Pro SP2
P4 3.0 Ghz HT
512 Mbs DDR
Ati Radeon x1600 Pro, 512 Mbs, PS 2.0 and 3.0 supported. Catalysts 8.5, using older versions just make things worst now :P

And yeah, this happens equally with pj64 and 1964.

[mudlord]

When you tal about RV.dll, are you refering to RiceVideo.dll, or to another plugin?
- Where does the d4rk.dll have to be?

I am talking about RiceVideo

And d4rk.dll needs to be in the same directory as the emulator.


Patching the RiceVideo6.1.3DX9.dll and using it, crashes the emulator


Try the link again. I fixed a bug that causes crashing on some PCs. And you definately need to patch that plugin. Others don't work since they don't use DX9.

[Anklt45]

Thanks for replying Mudlord :)

It keeps crashing. With pj64, it doesn't throw an error or anything, it just crashes and that's all. With 1964, it throws an error telling "Error to start video", and then another one that says "No device found" :(. Maybe the shaders hate Radeon cards? :P

I even tried renaming RiceVideo6.1.3DX9.dll to RV.dll, but that doesn't make any effect at all.

[Pogo85]

Hi there!

I tried these shaders and got the exact same result as Anklt45, every app i patched just instantly quit on me no matter what i did. However i'm happy to say i got it working!

Looking at d4rk.dll with a hex editor i noticed the line "D3DXCreateEffectFromFileA...\fakehdr.fx", so i simply renamed shader.fx to fakehdr.fx (residing in the same dir as project64.exe and d4rk.dll) and it worked like a charm!

After playing around with the shaders for a while now all i have to say is: Really nice job mudlord!

Edit: I just had to show this pic of Ocarina of Time with the cel-texture pack and mudlords bloom shader + heavy antialiasing and anisotropic filtering. Never thought i'd see oot looking this damn good!

http://hem.bredband.net/b161669/THE LEGEND OF ZELDA-6.png

[Anklt45]

@Pogo85:

Dude, if you we're a girl, i would ask you to marry me. lol.

Thank you, they're working as they should now, time to put those shaders to use, yes sir :).

Thanks to Mudlord for implementing the shaders like this.

[mudlord]

Looking at d4rk.dll with a hex editor i noticed the line "D3DXCreateEffectFromFileA...\fakehdr.fx ", so i simply renamed shader.fx to fakehdr.fx (residing in the same dir as project64.exe and d4rk.dll) and it worked like a charm!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

This will be fixed for the next update.

[Thommo]

Hey guys,

Can anyone confirm if these shaders do NOT work in Vista ? Because I am having trouble getting them to work but I could well have missed a step.

Also which plugin do we use ? Mudlord Rice 6.1.3 DX9 or Mudlord Rice 6.1.4 ?

And finally I have put the d4rk file into my pj64 directory where my .exe is located and i have copied one dll shader to the same directory, and I have renamed the shader to fakehdr and tried pressing the + numpad key and yet nothing occurs.

At this point I will bet that its Rice 6.1.3 DX9 plugin that needs using, which is one plugin which I cannot see any video output......any input would be greatly appreciated, lol.

Cheers.

[Anklt45]

You have to use Mudlord Rice 6.1.3 DX9.

You patch it, put d4rk.dll in the emulator directory, and put shader.fx where d4rk.dll is located. Afterwards, you rename shader.fx to fakehdr.fx (until Mudlord updates the d4rk.dll file).

If that doesn't work, you should put your specs, so people can help you further ;).

[Cyberman]

Well I am glad they told you about the problem immediately mudlord (snicker). Seriously report bugs in the plugin forum in for Rice's video (latest) if you are using the old plugin don't bother reporting bugs (because you are reporting old news).

I have been plotting erstwhile should give you (mudlord) an update on the idea from hell (pun intended).

Cyb

[Thommo]

I have no idea what cyberman just said lol, but to address anlk45....pal I already did all this you just mentioned the first time out, I'm not being funny but I do actually read posts and take measures to problem solve on my own in the first place before I ask on a forum.

But I also appreciate the fact that you are just trying to help so for that I thank you.

Now that I know which plugin is meant to be used for these shaders I think I now know what the problem is.....Mudlord Rice 6.1.3 DX9 plugin and the DX10 on Vista, I think that is why I get no video output with this plugin and yet I do get video output on Mudlord Rice 6.1.4 plugin. Unless I am completely wrong but even in the readme of the shader pack it said it hadn't been tested on Vista, so there's my assumption.

@cyberman....pal i notice u put the Mudlord in bold and laughing about it, I call it Mudlord Rice plugin because well look is that not the name of these particular builds that Mudlord is working on - to separate them in some way from the older plugins so that people know what they are downloading as opposed to simply calling it Rice's plugin as before ?

In English Mudlord is working on these plugins now so therefore these new plugins should officially be titled and reffered to on the forums differently in some way to the older revisions which were worked on by somebody else. Should they not ? :)

[EmuFan]

Well I am glad they told you about the problem immediately mudlord (snicker). Seriously report bugs in the plugin forum in for Rice's video (latest) if you are using the old plugin don't bother reporting bugs (because you are reporting old news).

CybWhat´s your game, mister? You guys are up to something! Be careful, or it will be the doom for us all!!:P

Yeah, on to topic: Renaming the files worked like a charm, so thank you, Pogo85.

[mudlord]

Patch updated.
Includes a new scanline shader by Verdauga Greeneyes.
Includes a variable description table in the readme for shader coders.
Also fixes the issue brought up via Pogo and co.

[mudlord]

Well I am glad they told you about the problem immediately mudlord (snicker).

I am too. I hate people not letting me know of issues in my code.


What´s your game, mister? You guys are up to something!

Of course we both are, why else we do what we do? :P


I have been plotting erstwhile should give you (mudlord) an update on the idea from hell (pun intended).

Heheheh, I'd love to hear from you about how you are going with our scheme....:P

[mudlord]

Updated again.

Sorry.

[Terranigma]

Updated again.

Sorry.

Where's the update? What page is it on?

Also... I can't figure a few things out. Your readme talks about d4rk.dll and rv.dll but I can't find any of these files in your rar file or in 1964/PJ64. Am I suppose to download something else as well or am I doing something else wrong?

[mudlord]

http://vba-m.ngemu.com/personalpage/code.html


For future reference, look there.

[mudlord]

So, basic instructions:

* Patch DX9 version of Rice Video. d4rk.dll will then be extracted to same folder as Rice Video
* Place d4rk.dll in emulator folder
* Place chosen shader.fx file in emulator folder

I doubt I can make it any more simpler.

[dbozan99]

OK, I think I have solved everyones problems related to it "not working" (as long as ur video card isn't crap)
After messing around for quite some time I decided to see if I still had the problem with another emulator, so I tried Project64k And It spat out the error saying cannot find dx3d9_30.dll every time I opened settings.
After running dxdiag, I didn't think that could be the problem because it said I had 9.0c.
I decided That a reinstall wouldn't hurt so after a while of searching, I came across this:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/1/f/c1fb09b0-8a8b-45ba-8bb0-64f60bd23175/directx_jun2008_redist.exe
Which did the trick!
just make sure you extract it to a subfolder so it doesnt clutter something up
(i used c:\dx\ so it put all the installer stuff in there)

EDIT: After this It now works with 1964, project64k, project64 1.6 and project64 1.7! (just remember to switch over to the DX9 plugin :) )

EDIT2: I Put a vid of Very_Bata_Cell On Youtube! Check it out!

EDIT3: lol wrong link...use this one:

[V3piru]

Hi all, has been a while that i look at this topic without being a member, and all these shaders ROCK ! Many thanks !

I play on PJ64 1.6 with RiceVideo 6.1.3 DX9 (PJ64 1.7 tells me "failed to allocate memory" :( )

I Really Enjoy the Bloom shader, but I would like to blur it a bit, as well as to blur the entire scene (at 1280x1024 + screen resolutions, polygons really are annoying)

How would you do, to have the two shaders in one ? I tried to do it myself but i'm a real newbie to this. I could tweak the bloom shader a bit, but not add blur to it.

Here is my shader, it is not working. I only added the blur shader to the tweaked bloom one (which is working).


//These variables will get set automatically
texture tex1;

float2 rcpres;
float4 BloomSettings;

sampler s0 = sampler_state { texture = <tex1>; };

float Luminance = 0.08f;

[mudlord]

Hi all, has been a while that i look at this topic without being a member, and all these shaders ROCK ! Many thanks !

I play on PJ64 1.6 with RiceVideo 6.1.3 DX9 (PJ64 1.7 tells me "failed to allocate memory" )

I Really Enjoy the Bloom shader, but I would like to blur it a bit, as well as to blur the entire scene (at 1280x1024 + screen resolutions, polygons really are annoying)

How would you do, to have the two shaders in one ? I tried to do it myself but i'm a real newbie to this. I could tweak the bloom shader a bit, but not add blur to it.

Here is my shader, it is not working. I only added the blur shader to the tweaked bloom one (which is working).

What you really want, is to get the results from the previous render pass. If you read the readme, you will know that tex2 is needed as a additional texture for this approach.


Really?, Im getting this error

[V3piru]

Thanks Mudlord !

As i couldn't do it yesterday, i went through a modification of the HDR shader. Instead of blooming the most shiny parts of the image, it now enhances the hole frame, with the "blurry" effect i was looking for :bouncy:

Works best with Zelda OOt and MM, at 1024x768 + Screen resolutions ;)

I have no account to upload it on, but if you like the screenshots i will try to do it =]

upload it on mediafire.com its free and you don't need an acount.

[cerebus5]

I just have to say this is great work mudlord. Keep it up. I still haven't cracked how to load it but I'm working on it. Hopefully reinstalling this latest version of DX9 will do it. V3pru's latest batch of screenshots are phenomenal.


Ok installing the runtime environment did the trick. Wonderful. Cel Shaded Zelda with bloom lighting - good grief.

[V3piru]

Hi all

Sorry, was on holidays :bouncy:
I will upload the latest version of the tweaked bloom shader as soon as possible :flowers: , I'm happy you like the screens.

I changed it again to make it work at any resolution, it still needs to be modified when playing other games (Jade Empire is cool ;))

See ya soon !

[cerebus5]

It would be nice to have some sort of interface, a way of directly scaling the bloom within specific games. Great work though.

Oh, thank you. I would really like that bloom effect.

Still needs some work, so comments will be most appreciated !

http://cid-b524bb73a02cf149.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/V3piru%20BloomHDR.zip

[cerebus5]

It looks great but the bloom effect is way too heavy for me. Is there a way of adjusting it?

[Andreas233223]

I tested it with F-Zero X, it works quite well, only some graphic glitches and lags in high resolutions.
Please make a Motion Blur Shader for F-Zero.

[V3piru]

Yea, I liked it very bloomy because these games have too much polygons visible ;) I love bloom anyway :D
I play the games in 1280x1024 resolution, so the effect is not too blurry.

But tweaking is very simple :
The shader givers 2 "Colors" to the final image : "Color" is the original image, "Color2" is the bloomy one.
At the line "return saturate((Color*0.6) + (Color2*1.8) - (Color*Color2));" you have 0.6 original and 1.8 bloomed.
0.6 and 1.6 is not bad, and a bit less bloomy, but if you want it really less blurry,0.8 and 1.4 is quite well, or even 1.0 and 1.2.

I don't know how to make a motion blur, but i think Mudlord released a cool one :)

[cerebus5]

um I'm not sure how to edit the values of the files. Do I need a C++ editor for that? Sorry...not really much of a techie.

[cerebus5]

Also I'm wondering if it's possible for the shader to work with glide64? I can't seem to get it to work but I guess it should be possible right?

[mudlord]

No,

Shaders with my patch are not compatible with Glide64. Rice Video uses Direct3D9, Glide64's wrapper uses OpenGL 1.5.

[cerebus5]

Oh, well that's reasonable.

[cerebus5]

Ah just had to open it with wordpad. The bloom effect looks great on Sin and Punishment with the texture pack.

[cerebus5]

I see, it helps if you're turning the bloom up higher to also turn the color level up higher. Otherwise it looks dull. It makes some games quite choppy but works extremely well in Zelda, Majora's Mask, Sin and Punishment, Paper Mario, some others. Wonder how it looks with jet force gemini.




mudlord do you know where this motion blur is at all? I'd like to try it out as well if it exists. Great work, really!

[mudlord]

There is a blur shader in the pack.

In the next pack, there will be some resampling shaders.
These shaders do,
* Cubic
* Quadratic
* Lancosz2

scaling. Thanks to DOLLZ for writing those for me. They work with BSNES well, but I bet someone can hack them to work with Rice Video.

[cerebus5]

those blur shaders just add a general filter though. They don't seem to do 'proper' motion blur.

[Beta Link]

Nice work on thse! The only ones I don't particularly like are the 2 toon shaders (normal and 'no outlines')... The normal one is just horrible. The 'No Outlines' one is much better, but it seems to use a very disgusting color set. Like someone threw a screenshot into photoshop and reduced it to 16 colors... Maybe it's just my graphics card. Am I doing something wrong? Could someone please confirm that it isn't a problem on my end?

Edit: Wait, I've got a picture to show what I'm talking about...
http://freewebs.com/beta_link/OoT_Toon_No_Outline.png

See all that grey, purple, red, and yellow it's using in place of their proper colors?

[cerebus5]

Yep that's what it looks like. But I think it's just a WIP to show what could potentially be done with those sorts of filters. It isn't meant to be played like that yet. The best filter for playing with is the latest bloom effect, and you can tweak it to your satisfaction.

[blood_blues]

Would someone be able to re-upload that shaders.rar file? I can't find it anywhere, and the link posted earlier doesn't work. : \

[IBBIAZ]

I'm having some issues installing this, but I am seeming to have problems where everyone else is not. I can't seem to patch RV.DLL with either of the two patchers I've used (the one in the last link had a different skin than the package on mudlord's site). I hit the patch button, and it asks me to select a file (something to note, maybe, is the fast that when you choose files, it's automatically searching for *.exe files, until you change it to *.*). Anyway, I select RiceVideo6.1.3DX9.dll, and hit ok, and every time, I get the same error message:

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/IBBIAZ/Lolz/Cannotpatch.jpg

I do not have any emulators running. All I had open at that point was explorer and the patcher. Aaaand, the log in the patcher:

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o285/IBBIAZ/Lolz/Nothingpatched.jpg

Can't figure this out for the life of me. I've renamed RV.DLL to RV.EXE and hoped I could patch it, but got the same error message. The only thing that I WAS able to patch was the RiceVideoInstaller.exe, but I tried installing it again after it was patched, and it seemed no different than a normal RV installation.

I'm so confused.

[cooliscool]

Really OT, but that is one lame ass GUI. {}:{

[IBBIAZ]

An I figured it out, feeling like a total idiot. Turns out I need to run the patcher as an admin. Fuck you, Vista. You and your antics.

[EmuFan]

It´s there for safety purposes, which makes complete sense to me.

Current hosting.

[VinnyC]

I have installed Project64, I have installed RiceVideo using RiceVideoSetup.exe by pointing it to the Project64.exe directory, I have patched the RiceVideo.DLL (even though the readme says RV.DLL) using patch.exe, I have moved the d4rk.dll into the emulator directory (the project64.exe directory) after patching the file, I have placed one of the shader.fx files into the same directory as the d4rk.dll file (also tried renaming it to fakehdr.fx), I have selected RiceVideo 6.1.3 DX9 as my graphics plugin, I have set PJ64 to run in DirectX using Pixel Shader, and I still can't get this to work.

Oh, and just for the sake of it:
Project64 1.6
Windows XP 32bit w/ SP3
ForceWare 180.42 Beta (Don't say this is the culprit, I have been trying for months with various other versions)
DirectX August08 update
GeForce GTX260 Core 216

What am I possibly missing??

What button is it supposed to be that turns it on and off? Is there a way to change it? Can anyone make this work consistently yet?

[cerebus5]

It might be that you're using PJ64 1.6 instead of 1.7. Try using 1964. I don't know why but it always seems to work better with the shader plugin.

[gllt]

Using latest shaders/patch I;

Patch Mudlord's Rice Video 6.1.3 DX9
Place d4rk in folder with said patched plugin
Put shader.fx in said folder
Load 1964/PJ64 with RV613DX9, two versions may be shown. One patched, one unpatched.
No key should be used to turn it on or off anymore
I use and create shaders every day this way.

[mode7]

I did exactly as you described, put 1964 keeps crashing when i load up a game.

[gllt]

What shader are you using and what pixel shaders does your card support?

[mode7]

I'm using the latest version of the shaders (the one you hosted on Oct. 15th), 1964, Mudlord's Rice Video 6.1.3 DX9, and a Geforce 8800GT which supports up to shader modell 4 (but I think not in WinXP which I'm usiung.
I patched the RiceVideo6.1.3DX9.dll. Patching the RiceVideo.dll does not have any results.

[cerebus5]

I can email you the version of d4rk and the bloom filter that I'm using if it would help. You could just load them directly yourself.

[mode7]

Thanks. I sent you a PM

Gosh...I'm not sure where they're hosted now. I think I have them on my hard drive, perhaps I could just mail them to you?

Hm looks like I don't have the patcher for it to work. Wonder what I did with it. I do have the d4rk.dll though, so it might work anyhow if you put it into the main directory. And I have all the latest shader.fx files. PM me if you want me to email what I have to you.

lol, I still can't get this to work right. When I first tried this over a year ago it would kinda work sometimes, and it was linked to a key on the numpad to turn it on and off. Since then, it has never worked again. I've probably re-installed Windows three times since then, and have also upgraded all my drivers and hardware. I think I'm destined to just not get this working. :(

1) Install Project64 1.6
2) Install RiceVideoSetup and point it at C:\Program Files\Project64.exe
3) Run Patch.exe and point it at C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\Plugin\RiceVideo6.1.3DX9.dll
4) Ensure the patcher also put the d4rk.dll in C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\Plugin
5) Drop one of the many shader.fx files into C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\Plugin

If any of the above steps are wrong, PLEASE let me know!

Anyway, running it results in this
http://www.lanpartyguide.com/zelda/pj64_error.jpg

Followed by quite a few more similar errors.

If I put the d4rk.dll directly into C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6, I wont get any errors, but Project64 will just crash. I also tried copying the shader.fx file here, and even RiceVideo6.1.3DX9.dll. Now I know that these aren't supposed to go here, but... unless I put d4rk.dll here it has all those errors. And obviously, neither way results in any shaders working! Gosh dangit I wish this would work.

I have also tried the above steps but patching RiceVideo.dll instead of RiceVideo6.1.3DX9.dll. I don't get any errors or crashing, but it still does not work.

I have Windows XP SP3 32bit, Q9550, 4GB DDR2, and a GTX260 with the March 2009 DirectX installation and ForceWare 181.22 WHQL.

kk, let's see if i can help. First you need to have d4rk.dll in the same folder as the exe, not the plugin folder, everytime you copy a shader.fx file in the same folder as the exe, you need to rename it to "fakehdr.fx" for it to work. There ya go.

[VinnyC]

THANK YOU! IT FINALLY WORKS! ALSO CAPS LOCK IS ON!

1) Install Project 64 1.6 to default directory

3) Run Patch.exe and point it at C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\Plugin\RiceVideo6.1.3DX9.dll
4) Cut d4rk.dll out of C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\Plugin and paste into C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\
5) Copy a shader file that you want into C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\ and rename it from shader.fx to fakehdr.fx
6) Set the graphics plugin to RiceVideo 6.1.3DX9
7) Set it to PixelShader (at least I did)
8) Start the game and tadah!

[Will needs help]

This is strange. I managed to get all shaders to work perfectly before, but now it refuses to. I followed the same steps VinnyC gave, but now the emu just crashes without error messages. Was wanting to be greedy and run Cel shading with one of these bloom mods:

http://boris-vorontsov.narod.ru/index_en.html

They do actaully work If you use 6.1.3dx9 and I've noticed no problems or loss of performance. The bloom actually looks nice too.

[an0n4]

I'm currently using Mudlord's shader pack. Anyone have any suggestions for what shaders look best with Djipi's cel-shaded pack (playing with the cel-shader right now, toon shaders don't work right)? Suggestions for a good shader to accompany the community hi-res pack would also be appreciated.

Doesn anyone else have their framerate get totally destroyed by these shaders though? The system I'm testing with (Athlon 64 3200+, 1GB RAM, GeForce 6200) becomes unplayable past 640x480. Not a huge deal though, will be switching over to my MacBook Pro once I find a texture pack and shader setup I like.

[h4tred]

Hello,

People could easily write a shader to go along with the pack. :)
I'm currently pondering rewriting some things in the DLL, like a proper config utility at least. As well as a HLSL shader editor (if I could get shaders recompiled in realtime, I'd be happy as then shaders can be authored much more easily).

[Will needs help]

@anon4


(Athlon 64 3200+, 1GB RAM, GeForce 6200)

I think that would be the reason, all right. I used to have a 6200TC and it couldn't cope with much more than 1024x768 with no anti-aliasing or hirez textures.

[an0n4]

Yeah, that's what I figured. It's not a big deal as I won't be using that machine for when I actually play the game, but it makes testing shaders a little more difficult.

Can mudlord's shaders be toggled on and off via a key like the ENBseries can?

[woohoo7]

Hello :)
anyone can upload all the files by cdiddy7?
i was trying, but there is no shaders in his filefront directory :(

hey, i followed all of the directions perfectly over and over but when i play OoT all i get is the normal graphics but the letters of text are really big and centered on the screen. does anybody know why the shaders arent working and why this is happening? thanks.

[Railroads]

First post your system specs.

[MAST3R_INF3RN0]

idk how to "professionally" post specs. but here we go:

Microsoft Windows XP Pro
Manufacturer: VIA Technologies
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.26GHz
Memory: 640MB RAM
DirectX: 9.0c

Video Card (i think..) : NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440-SE
Approx Memory: 64 MB

Main Driver: nv4_disp.dll

idk if this will help pinpoint the problem or not. maybe its my specs they might be ..not good (?) or sumthin. if somebody can help then thanks

[cerebus5]

I think it's your graphics card - not sure if Geforce4 supports dx9. that's just a guess though.

[MAST3R_INF3RN0]

yea thats what i figured. even when i try to choose pixel shading its says my video cars does not support pixel shading. and my card was not good enough to run Condemned Criminal Origins.. oh well. does anyone know how much a decent card installation runs for?

What country are you in? You need a whole new PC to be honest.

[MAST3R_INF3RN0]

oh.. ok. ill look into this stuff when/if i get a new one.

i mean, you would think the specs wouldn't need to be that good to comprehend a simple shader,no?

[A Legend]

Im new here and i just tried out all the shaders they look awesome especially the Bloom and HDR shader but i waswondering whether there was any way to combine the shaders for example combining bloom/HDR with sharpen and can this work with the old DX9 Dolphin plugin

Ok to clarify you can play N64 emulators with that PC if you just upgrade the gpu - but the pc itself is so old it's hardly worthwhile IMO. For one thing you'll need AGP which is much more expensive because it's older tech. There isn't much point upgrading one element of the PC, really rather save up for a new computer altogether.

[tjwoosta]

The pictures in the first post of this thread look amazing, especially the outline ones, but the download links are not working, are there any mirrors?

[tjwoosta]

Ok, I think I found the shaders I was looking for. I grabbed them from mudlords domain here (http://vba-m.ngemu.com/mudlord/code.html)

Now I have a folder with about 20 different shaders. Which one do I use to get the outline effect like in the first post?


EDIT: I have tried every single one and none of them make the drawing like effect seen on page 1 of this thread. Can anybody please point me in the right direction?

[45saa]

When I run patch.exe and point it at the RiceVideo .dll file, the patch immediately crashes. I've tried running it as an administrator and it seems that isn't the problem.

Any help is appreciated.

[askl]

Does anyone have a copy of patch.exe? I can't download the shaders from the Emuforums link; I just get redirected to the main forum. I was able to find the shaders elsewhere, but there's no patch, which means I don't have d4rk.dll, which means I'm getting nasty errors.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.


Thanks.

Does anyone know if "any" shader will work? I have a SSAO shader I want to try.

I'm also wondering if there is a way to get for than one shader active at a time? Can I just paste the second shader into the fakehdr.fx file?

[giygue]

I feel like such a noob asking this but how do you use these?

[steftheserb]

has anyone managed to get these to work with 1964 video as i dont want to downgrade to mudlords rice video 6.1.3

[Vandrick]

You have to use mudlords rice video 6.1.3 with dx9 support. The shaders are well worth it. You can write your own shaders for it if you know how to. It works in 2 passes. If you want to do more then one shader its possable but you will have to modify the source. It is possable for some one to upgrade the newest plugin and add pixel shader support but its a bit of work to do.

Im working on a toon shader. when im done ill find a place to host it then ill upload the files and my shader.

[Enzo Dragon]

has anyone managed to get these to work with 1964 video as i dont want to downgrade to mudlords rice video 6.1.3It's simply not supported. I've asked the devs to add directx9 support. If that happens, these shaders will be usable again.
