Post Process Shaders (shadmar)

(the ones from the work shop)

 

How are they supposed to work?

 

Here is what I've tried;

 

Modified the FPScontroler script to take an optional external camera, IMO this should be part of the default script. I also added

self.camera:SetKeyValue("skybox_texture","Materials/Sky/skybox_texture.tex")
self.camera:SetKeyValue("skybox_intensity","1.0")

 

 

 

On said camera I've tried plugging in each of the scripts in turn to no avail - in fact when saving the map and reloading the camera has no scripts attached.

 

I've tried to open the script in the editor to try and find a hint of how to use it, but I cannot - guess it's some sort of content protection scheme kicking in there.

No need to mod the FPScontroller script.

 

Add a pivot to your scene and attach a simple controlscript like this in Script:Start() to locate any camera (also the one created in the FPSPlayer)

 

local world=World:GetCurrent()
for i=0,world:CountEntities()-1 do
 if world:GetEntity(i):GetClass()==Object.CameraClass then
	 self.camera=world:GetEntity(i)
	 tolua.cast(self.camera,"Camera")
	 break
 end
end

if self.camera then
  self.camera:SetKeyValue....
  ...
end

That certainly works - I just find it more intuitive to have the camera as a separate entity so I can adjust FoV and what not independent of the fps script

 

One thing you didn't answer is how do I turn on for instance the sky box?

 

I may be missing something blatantly obvious

Skybox is kinda of outdated as a postprocess since Josh now has this buildt in the root tab.

But you just add it as a regular postprocess effect. 00_skybox... in the effects tab under root.
