thanks for the info

 

what I really wanted tho is a way to convert console shaders to pc format, it theory it seems possible from what I'm reading?

xbox and pc shaders are not the same so they won't work

Keep up with the great work.

So, I did most of the work in the tool. The main thing is that I learned to use the dxd9 library, which is almost older than me and now I can translate ASM to bytecode. I think if I transfer this function from the test application to the converter, then this will be a very big breakthrough and it will be even easier to create shaders. 
Here is a screenshot of the original ASM and the translated ASM->bytecode and shown in my shader viewer

UPD:

The shader size has been reduced by 12 kb (from 52 to 40) due to the lack of comments in the shaders. The shader in the game has not changed. I think it's better than compiling hlsl/fx files.

Out of curiosity, I redid Rage Shader Info for Red Dead Redemption. It was interesting to look into the RDR shaders without unnecessary manipulations

Use Codewalker for V shaders.

There won't be any public updates anytime soon, or never at all.

I haven't updated the public version of the shader editor for a long time, but soon I will do it and it will be more convenient than this кал.

I didn't forget about updating this tool. I also post a small part of my test shader editor. It only supports rdr x360. I was creating a tool that could increase the textures for the Reality Redemption mod and there was not much time for the shader editor. Tomorrow I will publish what is ready. It only works with IV PC and can also convert shaders from Max Payne 3 to IV.

published. iv pc supports fully. Other games will be added later

How do I modify these xml files to make the game reflect more like it does in the early screenshots?

I don't know. I created a shader editing tool, but I don't know much about shaders.

[Shvab]

added new version for IV.
The new version was created from scratch.
What has changed/added:
- improved writing xml file.
- rewritten xml file reading
- xbox bytecode support
- the ability to write in one line (when compiling asm files, ";" is replaced by "\n")
These are the main differences from previous versions.

This is the last scheduled shader editor update. No more updates are planned

@Shvab, can this tool also compile shaders for Max Payne 3? Kind of a bummer if not because all other games are said to support this operation.

max payne 3 works with sm3_0 - sm5_1 shaders, so I did not add support for this game (only fxc=>xml is supported)
The source code (c++ and c#) is available on github, so anyone can add support for Max Payne 3 without much effort

development completed. There will be no updates or news
