Applying shaders over dark color objects?

[Captain Cody]

Any way to make a shader come out the color you want when applying over a dark colored object?

Due to the darkness of the object, the shader is just staying black instead of changing to the color I'm trying to set it to.

[Captain Cody]

Any one?

Have you tried removing the object color?

[Captain Cody]

How would I do that aye?

[Captain Cody]

Any know how? Really need to figure out how I would go about doing this so I can move forward with my tune shop.

variables: texture sTex0, float4 sLightColor

[Captain Cody]

Thank you, I'll try it in a bit.

[Captain Cody]

Nothing. Just applys a shear black texture no mater what I set the texture, or colors as.

[Captain Cody]

Any one know good way of applying texture shader over a dark color, and still getting the color you're trying to produce instead of black, or very dark variant of that color.

Bumpity roo, please someone help, this is last piece to puzzle I've been working on for weeks.

My bad. I thought you wanted to replace the texture as well. If so, then you'll need set shader value for "sTex0". If you don't set it - the texture will appear black.

Otherwise you could use this : http://pastebin.com/8ySMWAVq

This doesn't require you to set anything.

[Captain Cody]

Well I set the texture to a white one "Not sure if white is overwriten in shaders or not"

Any ways thank you, will allow me to finish up my modshop.

Any way to make it so I can ajust brightness? Seams if red / blue / green are even a tad bit up, this maxes them.

[Captain Cody]

Forgive me for asking, but is there any way to get this to factor in the amount of light on it as to keep the color actually matching with in game colors?

[Captain Cody]

?

so you have a variable float4 sLightColor. You can set all 4 color components (red - green - blue - alpha). Have in mind that unlike in MTA - the maximum value for the color is 1. For example: setShaderValue(myShader,"sLightCoor",1,0,0,1) - only red and alpha components are passed. Which will make the white texture appear red. setShaderValue(myShader,"sLightCoor",1,1,0,1) - will make it look yellow.

I've already figured out that, dividing it by 255 fixes that issue, just wondering if there is a way to make it actually change depending on the amount of light,.

If the texture is dark then you might want t replace it (use the shader i posted before)

[Captain Cody]

Applying the shader over the texture is working just fine, I'm just wondering if there is any way to factor in the amount of light that the gta world is emitting example : when it's night the color is darker or what not.

You can create a timer and change the shader values depending on the in game time.
