DolphinFX - (Post-processing suite for the OpenGL backend)

[Asmodean]

Even with the API, changing a 2d sampler, to a multi sampler array, is going to call for reworking stuff. with a shader this size. Imo they should have designating a new/separate texture for the 3d stuff, but w/e I guess.

Are they using an index var, or will I just use 0 for the coord z component?. Either way. I think I'll wait on a while to see if any more changes re that stereo stuff comes in, before updating.

The z component is used for determining which layer is currently being rendered. So it definitely won't be zero when rendering in stereo.

This is one of the reasons why DolphinFX shaders should be merged internally like happened with PCSX2. Otherwise there will always be problems with broken compatibility after some time so it would be easier for everyone if they were merged and would save Asmodean effort of having to rewrite shaders everytime. Second reason is that barely anyone knows about these shaders because not everyone is checking forums.

DolphinFX doesn't work on WIndows 8.1 64 Bits? I tried many revs, like a 4.0.1736, and nothing Works!

Using the latest build of DolphinFX 2.0 (downloaded from the link in the first post).
Using the latest Dolphin dev build as of this post (4.0-4601).

I try to load the shader and it gives me an error message and then it tells me to post the contents of this text dump here.

I can't make heads or tails of this text dump so I hope someone can help me out.

Figured the text dump wouldn't be enough, so I took a screenshot of the warning message.

[Asmodean]

It's because of changes made with the OGL stereo 3d stuff. I'll update it when they're done messing around with the PP.

Yeah, the last revision you can use and have the shader still work is 4283.

Alright, cool. I can't wait to finally use the shader again. I really enjoyed it when it worked.

Damn. I guess I'm gonna grab that version. Thanks for the info.

Is normal map simply more difficult, or is it more that people are just using bump map as a generic term?

I think a Normal Map Shader of a Bump Map Shader would be much more visually impressive, though I can't say if it'd impact performance more or not.

 I've proposed bump mapping shader instead of normal napping shader simply because I already found one from PCSX2 but I agree normal mapping shader might be even better though for me even bump mapping shader alone would be very good.
