Lesson 0. So far, so good. ;)
Lesson 1. Getting a feel for the shader hunting. :)
This is the first shader file. Pixel shader of entire ball.

Lesson 2. Disable bloom effect on the ball (make transparent)
Note to self : This was remarkable! I also tried to disable the subtle glow on other light sources (pixel shader 85), just to see if I understood the code, instructions, and theory correctly. I also try to memorize codes and parameters. So far, so good.

Lesson 3. Create and use constants in dx9settings.ini
.: Part 1 : Change the key used to toggle the effect from Numpad 0 to any key of your choice. :.
// ASCII Table Chart // With the aid of the ASCII table chart, I changed the default "toggle on/off mechanism" // from numpad 0 (decimal value 96) to number 8 (decimal value 56) [KEY1] Key = 56 Presets = 1;2; Type = 1
.: Part 2 : Change the mechanism to not toggle the effect, but only be active when held down. :.
// Change key type parameter so that the effect will only be active when key // is held down. I've changed the toggle mechanism (on/off) from Type = 1, // to momentary "held down" Type = 2. [KEY1] Key = 56 Presets = 1;2; Type = 2
.: Part 3a : When the effect is being displayed, change its color. :.
// When the effect is displayed, change its color // I modified the constant register c200.wwww (rgba is transparent), // to c200.wwyy (to only enable the blue channel and alpha channel, // so the color blue is shown when the effect is active mov r30.x, c220.x if_eq r30.x, c200.x mov oC0.xyzw, c200.wwyy endif
.: Part 3b : When the effect is being displayed change its color (screen capture) :.
Lesson 4. Fix an entire game by disabling problematic effects
Note to self : This was an interesting lesson. I localized six additional subtle and also quite prominent problematic pixel shaders, and disabled the corresponding effects. Also two vertex shaders responsible for static shadows on the monkeys and dynamic shadows on the ball itself were disabled. I did struggle a bit on the code/instruction section for defining a second key to toggle the bloom effect on and off separated from the other toggle key. I thought you could assign an additional "DefVSConst2" and "DefPSConst2" statement in the dx9settings.ini file, but that caused nothing but trouble.
After reading a little about the usage of these instructions in the "HelixMod Feature List", I understood that you can only use "DefVSConst1" and "DefPSConst1" as valid instructions assiged to a chosen c-register value. I did know that you refer back to the Const1,2,3,4 by the X,Y,Z,W parameters from the shader file itself, but I thought I had to assign an additional DefVS&PSConst2 instruction. So thanks to the Feature List, I figured it out pretty quickly. Two hours of improvising code to try to get it to work, then later read that those instructions were invalid, was a little frustrating, but also very satisfying. I did solve it the first time, but due to the confusion about the "DefVS&PSConst1" being the only valid instruction, I didn't know where to go and just did a lot of random operations to get it to work even though I knew it had to be something regarding the Def instruction. Since I read that all the constants (const1-4) are being passed through the c-register value to the shader file, and referred back to the dx9settings.ini file with the X,Y,Z,W parameters, and using the instructions Const1, Const2, Const3, Const4 with the hex values (floating point 0 and 1 for comparison on the shader file level, in the respective presets for the different keys it made more sense. Again, thanks to the "Feature List". :)
Quiz: Make a second key preset to toggle bloom independently from other effects.
Answer: In the dx9settings.ini I made the necessary adjustments to assign a second key with two presets for toggling the bloom effect on and off, by altering the PresetsKeysList. I added Key = 55 (decimal "7") under [KEY2], and two presets (for the toggle mechanics). Under [PRES3] and [PRES4] I assigned Const2 = "the toggle values in hex format" (referred to with the Y paramter from the shader file; in my case c220.y (const2).
In the shader file itself, I just altered the comment section and swapped Const1 with Const2, just to make it more structured and organized. The instruction "mov r30.y, c220.y" moving the const2 values for the c220 register from the dx9settings.ini file into the temporary register r30.y in the shaderfile and comparing the def c200 x=0 value with the temporary register, with the instruction "if_eq r30.y, c200.x (where x=0 matching the const2 hex value from [PRES4] in dx9settings.ini, disabling the effect with the instruction "mov oC0.xyzw, c200.wwww (for transparency). This accomplished the goal of separating the bloom effect from the other effects with an individual key preset.
CODE (dx9settings.ini) :
[General] UseRenderedShaders = true DumpAll = false DefVSConst1 = 220 DefPSConst1 = 220 PresetsKeysList = 1;2; [KEY1] Key = 56 Presets = 1;2; Type = 1 [PRES1] Const1 = 0x3f800000 [PRES2] Const1 = 0x00000000 [KEY2] Key = 55 Presets = 3;4; Type = 1 [PRES3] Const2 = 0x3f800000 [PRES4] Const2 = 0x00000000
