Hmm, maybe 3DA and its pixel shader cap setting might be able to help, idk though, L4D won't start at all with 3DA for me and idk y exactly...
DXTweaker doesn't seem to help either. With Pixel Shader 3 mode enabled, it emulates all the pixel shader models, except 2.0b >.> On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 10:54 PM, AngelicTears <[email protected]> wrote: > @ Espi > yeah i did, but the structure are not the same between the MD dlls and the > L4D ones.....im gonna try the decompiler Daniel suggest and see how it goes, > altough the pixel 2.0b is the main problem there, and im not sure how to fix > that or emulate that... > > On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 11:42 AM, Espionage724 <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Hmm, I think I tried net decompiler earlier (4am earlier) and it said >> something was missing from the .dll, I can't remember what it said but >> i'll try again later on >> >> On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 10:41 PM, DanielPK >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> > you can decompile DLL files with these 2 softwares: >> > >> > http://netdecompiler.com/download.html >> > http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/ >> > >> > .net Reflector is the best out there...as it will decompile your dll >> > into either C# or VB.NET :D you can get the "free" one somewhere ;) >> > and for netdecompiler, it'll show all the classes,method,fun etc :P >> > >> > On Feb 16, 9:59 am, Espionage724 <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> I wish there was some way to decompile that shaderapidx9.dll file... >> >> maybe that would help fix it... >> >> >> >> @AngelicTears >> >> Hey about those C++ fixes and stuff you mentioned somewhere you did >> >> with the MD's, did you happen to of did that with the .dll files?
