Hello again!

I was diving through the internet and discovered a few shaders like "replace colors","mirroreffect" or "watersurface".

My question is how are they made? Is there a specific language to it? Are there tutorials on writing them?

Thx for your help !

"High Level Shader Language" (HLSL) is what it's called - at least for DirectX shaders, which are what clickteam products support (OpenGL uses a different shader language). However, there is no support for multipass shaders or the latest versions of DirectX, which limits what you can achieve.

You can't stack shaders, which kind of sucks, but there's no reason you can't copy/paste code from multiple shaders and combine them in the output.

How do i select a single color in a picture and change it witout effecting other colors?

F.e.
I have a red shirt with a yellow star and few sparkles on it. I want to change the red into a blue shirt.

When i edit the redvalue the other colors on the shirt changes as well
I know i change all at once but is there a way to seperate?

Anyone?

Thx!

What are you using to change the colour? Rgb coefficient will change the whole image, but the 'colour replace' option (in actions) will change a specific colour. Beware though, coeff will work with instances (multiples of the same active) but 'replace' will not. If you're not working with multiples though this should work fine.

Haha,
Yeah, I'm still kind of around - just too busy with skiing to actually post much (I've racked up 846 miles so far this season, which I'm quite pleased with), and plus I didn't actually bring a computer. Still, only 4 weeks left, so I might be a bit more active after that (unless I stay out here and do a summer season kayaking).
