GWater2 - Shader Injection (See desc.)

gwater2 no longer replies off the EGSM shader base to load shaders (It was quite finicky and honestly a little buggy). The shaders are now injected into the engine on the fly and soon will be rewritten to support multiple colors. From what I understand this will be the only addon on the workshop which properly supports custom shaders for all gmod versions (including x64_86!).

i guess you could say you're excited for this to POUR out, ha get it, cause it's water, yes? god i hate my life

[@tailnowag8753]

Really excited that it will also work in the x64_86 version of Gmod! Quite a feat!

i love the little perfect rectangular indentations on the ground when the dumpster lands.

I don't really know who you are doing this for anymore but it is impressive work

if only more things had custom shaders like pac3

its a bitch though for sure, this video is purely 2 months in the works because gmods shadersystem is closed source

"Shader Injection" you just HAVE to imagine a guy with a hoodie and sunglasses rapidly typing on his keyboard

[@1234magazine]

How do you inject shaders into the engine on the fly? That sounds revolutionary for Gmod. Having a repo for others to create custom shaders would be huge,

[@Meetric1]

injecting them isnt actually that difficult, you just need to know what functions to call. Compiling the actual shader I would argue takes more time to figure out
But yes I think a separate repo or atleast a small guide would be nice for creators

[@1234magazine]

You're calling functions in Lua to inject shaders? Is there some niche functions you found on the Valve Developer Community?

[@Meetric1]

This is a C++ module

[@Laqota]

@@1234magazine Source was made with C++. It's very easy to convert lua to C++ and that's why a lot of game engines use it. Meeric is coding directly to the engine.

Yes

itd be cool if you made the shader injector a seperate mod from gwater so it could b e used for other mods

Im thinking that an open source repository would be nice

is it possible to make a gib mod with gwater blood like this? (name it gblood)

Ya

[@realmamitler]

Would this bring up any vac detection or anti-cheat? And also you said in another comment that garry's mod shadersystem is closed source, by shaders what type of shaders?

[@Meetric1]

1. Gmod doesnt have VAC
2. The mechanism that runs and loads shaders in source

My friends couldn’t get it to compile because the source shadersystem includes were apparently “case sensitive”
