Some shader issues

#1 Newest script file can be found further down on this page.

#2 I got noise, scratches and flickering to work, its for a nightvision effect, but may help.
post your shaders code.

#3 Huh? It's right there in my second post?
It's also fairly unchanged from the one I linked.
Tried changing some things, but ended up reverting them, as I couldn't get it to work that way.

#4 scanning posts to fast :(

#5 heres my nightVision.cs and shader, compare it, and rip out what works for you.
just post back here the cs and shader when you get it working.
sorry dont have time to go into it now, I'm right in the middle of porting Ron Nelsons new projectile/vehicle/decals resource to T3D.

#6 Turned out that those parameters were slightly more complex than I originally thought, will have to rethink those.

#7 //How do I set a two-dimensional float for these two?
look at the caustics shader

//I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to set this to.
maybe frame rate?

#8 Nevermind.

#9 look through this thread....

#10 Aleksander,
why did you remove the shader code?????????

#11 To stop it from cluttering the thread, I ended up not changing it from the original anyhow, although I've yet to get it working perfectly yet.
