Shader Emulation

Post by I_LuV_BuRRiToZz »

is it possible to emulate shaders for crap cards so you can have shiny and shadows in Halo? if so please tell me how.
my pc: AMD Athlon XP 2800+, Geil Dual Channel 1GB RAM, GeForce MX 440 with AGP 8x (soon to be GeForce 6600 128MB AGP 8x), integrated audio from my mobo (supposed to be better than a soundblaster live), a Samsung SpinPoint P Series 80GB hard drive

Yeah, this would be interesting if you can, but here's a tip for you to hold you over. To give you "glowy" effects like, say, the headlights on a hog and stuff, do this (PC):
Right click and look at the properties of the Halo shortcut (make one if you don't have one), and click shortcut properties on the top tabs. Then, where it says the link to the actual Halo.exe file, after the last " mark, put a space, then write -use11. (No period) If you have those, you could try to put -use20 instead to get the shaders and shadowings....but that might not work.

EDIT: Here's the real point of my post....
I think that this would be possible if you could edit the application engine to run shaders differently. I have seen games that can run shaders on my card (ATI RADEON 7500, 32 MB), namely Vendetta Online, and an early Bungie game, Oni. They have some parts on them that ARE shaders, and they're quite nice.

I know, neither do I. If you would have read the top portion, I told you how to emulate glows and try to emulate shaders.
