Shader list

This is a selected list jason halek of user created shader effects. Please note that some shaders listed here are marked as "outdated" - they were replaced by Gamestudio's integrated shader library. Do not use them for new projects.

DX8 Modelrendering

Note: Some DX8 effects need small corrections in order to run with DirectX9! Vertex shaders need a different vertex stream declaration (see update63.txt), some () have to be changed to {}, oFog.x has to be changed to oFog, some fixed function keywords are case sensitive now,... the error messages are more precise now so it should be quite easy to figure out whats wrong.

	Terrain Multitexturing v.s. 1.1 / p.s. 1.3 + 1.1		Fur Shader Old v.s. 1.1 / p.s. 1.1
	Waving Grass v.s. 1.1 / p.s. 1.3		Glowing Edges Shader v.s. 1.1 / p.s. 1.1 (for old A6 versions)
