Is this Borderlands-ish enough?

[supercarz1991]

People still pester me to release one though.

hey, if you even do a tutorial on basic FX (like just show a super basic but cool effect) it might motivate some to learn more

it motivated me after you first showed fx coding a few months back, i've learned a lil bit, but since my video card wont play the fx files for some reason...i have no way to test :/

They are all simple... but I guess this one would probably the easiest to understand and still have people make their own effect:

now thats deffintely pretty cool lol. i should send you mine so you can test if they work (since for some reason they all fail and i just get a black screen >.<)

hell you could probably tell from lookin at em if they would work XD

you know what...here lol i always was a fan of the "negative" effect

i had a lot of help with it (thanks to the nolf source and a friend of mine) but this was the first 1 i made myself (again with help of a friend editing and fixing my mistakes) if ya want it, take it

First you can't just replace the FX file with that you need to adjust a lot of the parameters and calls so they all match up with the games calls. But your logic is there and looks fine.

I already made an 'Inverse Color' shader, it was part of my shader pack: [convenience link]

i know, i just wanted to see if i could do it myself. i figured it was just the fact it was something with the game

[alguempt]

what can that bring benefic?
isnt that laggy?

[leoisso]

muahhahaha, let's make CA COMICS!:

[ISmackBoobs]

Wow!Impressive!Good work!
