xml

<parametr>

This tag defines a new parameter that the shader allows to be modified.

(None)

xml

<name>

In this tag, it specifies the name of the parameter.

(Any* Characters must be from the ASCII table)

xml

<code>

xml

<variable>

Declaration of the variable name that you will refer to in the shader.

xml

<description>

Description of what a given parameter does in the shader.

xml

<type>

The type that your variable specifies

int for Intergers or Flags;

float for Floats;

int_float4 for Colors;

image for Texture;

xml

<property>

This tag determines how data is entered into the variable.

edit for entering a number like a textbox (only when <type> is int or float);

spin for entering a number that you can add or subtract with the arrows (only when <type> is int or float);

slider for a slider where you can change the number (only when <type> is int or float);

checkbox for a bool variable, i.e. 0 or 1 (only when <type> is int);

color for RGBA color variable (only when <type> is int_float4);

image for texture variable (only when <type> is image);

xml

<value>

The tag specifies what default value the parameter should have.

32-bit number (only when <type> is int, float or int_float4);
0 or 1 (only when <type> is int and when <property> is checkbox);
Path to texture file (only when <type> is image);

xml

<preview_value>

The tag sets a preview value only in the effects selection window.

xml

<min>

Specifies the minimum value that can be set in the Properties window (this does not work when setting the value from the Event Editor);

It also requires that the <property> tag be either slider or spin.

32-bit number (only when <type> is int or float);

xml

<max>

Specifies the maximum value that can be set in the Properties window (this does not work when setting the value from the Event Editor);

It also requires that the <property> tag be either slider or spin.

xml

<delta>

Specifies the step value when changing the value via arrows when <type> is float and <property> is spin.

32-bit number (only when <type> is float);

Description

Value

xml

<sampler>

In this tag it declares the sampler settings for how the texture should be rendered

(None)

xml

<index>

In this tag, set the texture index value as you have it in the shader; 0 for Self texture; 1, 2, 3 for separate, etc.

(Unsigned 32-Bit integer value)

xml

<filter>

The tag specifies how pixels are to be interpolated between each other.

point for Nearest-Point Sampling / Pixelated (only for Direct3D 9 and Direct3D 11);

linear for Bilinear Filtering / Antialiasing (only for Direct3D 9 and Direct3D 11);

anisotropic for Anisotropic Filtering (only for Direct3D 9);

xml

<addressU>

This tag specifies how the graphics card should interpret U' (X axis for texCoord) which is outside the range of 0 to 1.

clamp for stretched values ​​outside the range 0 to 1;

wrap for looping values ​​outside the range 0 to 1;

mirror for looping values ​​outside the range 0 to 1 and mirroring;

border for using the color from the <bordercolor> tag when the coordinate is outside the range of 0 to 1;

xml

<addressV>

This tag specifies how the graphics card should interpret V' (Y axis for texCoord) which is outside the range of 0 to 1.

xml

<addressW>

This tag specifies how the graphics card should interpret W' (Z axis for texCoord) which is outside the range of 0 to 1.

xml

<bordercolor>

The color that will be used when texCoord goes outside the range of 0 to 1;

(Unsigned 32-Bit integer value) Same rule as int_float4;
