That shiny mod that vilifies the use of bloom and edgy lighting since 2010.

Report RSS [GEN - ZH] 0.8.3 SDK for Dummies

This tutorial provides basic usages of 0.8.3 SDK. Basically, expand how and what to do.

Posted by on - Basic Other

Installing the SDK content into your game
If you have absolutely no idea what you're doing, just copy these files or folders into your Zero Hour installed location:
-Art -Data -Window -config.ini -d3d8.dll
Now, if you have experience with modding, you can add the fog effect or remove it with the following code in the ControlBar.wnd:
Pastebin.com

Inserting the codes for the content
All of these templates are in the folder "Code Templates" as if that's not obvious enough.
-FogCode.ini should be copied and pasted into your desired map.ini of a map. Then, replace the text "[texture's name here]" with a name of the fog texture you want for that specific map such as "EnvFogEffect2_CM.tga" which is the default texture in my mod. You can use whatever you want, like that give a flying ****.
-GLAPalace.ini and MogWell.ini are the templates of a certain module in object INI thingy. You basically copy and paste them accoringly. These make the well water reflective.
Pastebin.com
Pastebin.com

Note that these only give you where to place the code. Copying the whole codes may result in ugly feast.
-GodraysDisablingCode.ini is a code template for disabling or overriding the godrays effect. You basically do what you did with FogCode.ini.
-ShineBeam_D is an orange-ish beam one.
-ShineBeam_S is a cyan-ish beam one.

Adding stuff in world builder
Now you basically find these stuff in world builder and place them on the map. I think most of the stuff is in ALL>System
-BloomBox is what you essentially need, this allows the cooperation with ENB to work like in the screenshots. Should be placed on the center.
-Fog and SandStorm are very obvious. Should be placed on the center as well.
-WTR_**** is a default sunshine plane with the sun reflection on the bottom right. Should be place on shore lines appropriately.
-WTR_****C is a default wave plane. Should be place on shore lines appropriately.
-WTR_****C2 is a alternative sunshine plane with the sun reflection on the top right. Should be place on shore lines appropriately.
-WTRD_**** is a default moonlight plane with the moon reflection on the bottom right for night time uses. Should be place on shore lines appropriately.


If you still don't get any of this then you're on your own. Have fun :P

Is this for playing or modding? If for playing, why don't you make it simple? Btw i just read some of it since I don't usually read things that i won't get any use of.
