As we are at it...do you indend to add the shaders, too, or just the particles?

Shaders....please explain. :hmm:

AFAIK Shaders are responsible of how the ocean is shown. The water in SH4 is much improved over the SH3 water, mainly because the shaders got improved. Repsonsible for shadows and lightning, but also wave complexity. Now I have no idea if it is possible to just port the shaders over, but imagine water in SH3 like in SH4. =)

Probably just a dream, but it was worth a try =)

Where would I look to find these shaders? Where is an example (codewise) in SH4 where I could open the file up in a hexeditor and see how to use it?
