BF2 Shader Mod ***30% Complete***

[Azorbix]

Please read this quick FAQ before you begin!

Which computer componets have been tested?
It has been tested on the BF2 demo, with a ti4200 (128mb), AMD 2400+, 1gb RAM, A7N8X-X (nForce2) mobo, on WindowsXP w/ sp1.

Why do the graphics still look like crap?
Because all the shaders have not been converted yet (which is why its only 30% complete.

Why does my computer crash?
No clue , maybe update drivers or smth, I used the drivers from the BF2 install.

How do I send you money?
I didn't intend this on being a profitable venture, I have received quite a few messages from people saying they would like to pay me for the work I've been doing, I don't have a paypal account or anything, I'll maybe use my dads account.

I have expience with Pixel Shaders and would like to help, how do we get in contact?
Right here, just register and post, also you can just attach updated pixel shaders if you want to.

Does this have a virus and does it steal cdkeys?
No, but make sure you download copies from ***GAME-DECEPTION***, people have been known to use the source code and put viruses in it because they are faggots and release it else where.

Will you support <cardname>?
The original intention was to support ti4x00 users, if your card works with this, good, but I have no plans on supporting other cards (say geforce2, geforce4mx).

Hi, I am EA, do you want to work for us?
Sure

Can I play on Punk Buster servers?
Hasn't been tested on PB servers, so best not try until its been approved.

Where can I download?

EDIT2:
I attached update_july25.zip to this post, too lazy to update readme, includes shaders crafted by JodiTheTigger, as well as includes a few other fixes

Keep up the good work! I tried it out and it worked fine. Is this release any different from the previous one? I only noticed the nametags changed color or something

any clue about a memory error?? me and some friends are getting it



also, what's the correct way to extract the files??? I mean, the .exe and the .dll should be in the main directory of BF and the ShaderCaps folder too? the readme doesn't say anything about the shadercaps folder.

thank you

I had that error to, but it was only after I tried the unlock code for the demo for the weapons. before that it played but was glitchy of course, KEEP going, the ti4200 is what I have

[ngcsu]

also I had to do that tuner .exe file every time before I launched the game in order for it to work.

[coront]

what tuner.exe?

[ngcsu]

I figured you'd know what I was talking about if you were using the mod. I didn't feel like going back and seeing what it was called:
tatniumD3D.exe

[coront]

of course I ran the tatniumD3D.exe thing before running the game -_-

other then the odd colors and incomplete textures and not being able to tell who the bad guy is :-x it works perfectly on my AMD 1.4ghz 1gb ram GeForce4 ti4600 ultra

[Azorbix]

All I'm in need for now is people who know Pixel Shader assembly

I think the reason your shader ps_87AD799A is not working is because shader version 1.1-1.3 only allows for 2 temporary registers r0 and r1, while you are carrying over the additional temp registers from the original 1.4 shader r2-r5, since 1.4 allows for 6 of those. You'll have to find a way to adapt it using only the 2 temp registers available.

Keep in mind I'm a complete amateur at this, so anything I have to say is subject to ridicule. There is also a followup article to the above one with more specific examples that show some 1.1 shader instructions side by side with their 1.4 counterparts, but I found the one I posted above to be the most helpful.
