At current work status only the shader instructions can be changed by editing the txt-file, no new variables or textures can be passed every (x) frame to the shaders.

the SH3 ocean pixel shader for example:

    ps_1_1
    tex t0                            
    texbem t1, t0                  
    mad t1, t1, c0.w, c1.w     
    dp3_sat r0, v0_bx2, t0
    lrp r0.xyz, r0.w, c0, c1
    lrp r0.xyz, v0.w, t1, r0
  + mov r0.w, t0.w
// approximately 6 instruction slots used (2 texture, 4 arithmetic)

And yet there is a shader for clouds but only a vertex shader. I assume it is used to calculate the mapping of cloud textures on the 3D cloud dome.

Seeadler,

And about shadows, any hope?
