Lit seems you are expected to package it yourself
Laccording to the docs
Lso we gotta make sure to do that
Fosu did
Lyeye
Fwhile itd be nice if it worked
Lidk if we can include it in the repo tho
Fi dont think priority should be to get d3d
Fa primarily windows api
Fworking on every linux machine
Feven if it is d3d9
Li mean given the amount of times vixie dev has just stalled for weeks for months because i wasnt able work on d3d11, i feel like it should be looked into avoiding d3dx9
Fthen do d3d9 yourself
Li mean yeah thats fair, im down to rewrite the effect code to use raw d3d9 once you get it running with d3dx9
Five only ever used d3dx with d3d9 so i know how to get it working and without it i have no idea how to properly use shaders
Fthen im no longer touching d3d9 after you do that
Fgood luck
Lwhy? ill abstract it away so its clean to use
RI feel that sentiment lmao
Fnot even the d3d9 sdk samples show you how to set shader parameters without d3dx
Fthe d3d9 hlsl sample without effects uses d3dx to compile the shader and get out a constant table
Fwith which parameters are set
Fand thats all in d3dx
Fso good fucking luck figuring out how to do anything with that
Lill probably be able to figure it out, ive worked out worse
Lit cant be too bad
Fgiven setting parameters is based off registers
Fnone of which you define in shaders
Fhow do they work? who knows
Fnot even the docs mention it
Fare they guaranteed to be ordered? are stuff like matricies split up?
Fwho knows
Fthis is why i wanted to use d3dx
Li mean i have a copy of not only working d3dx9 source code but also a d3d9 driver source code, ive already had to dig into dxvk-native's code multiple times to debug issues with d3d11, its quite clean code
Fcuz at least doing stuff like uniforms, or as theyre called there, parameters
Fisnt a fucking pain in the ass
Lill figure it all out when the time comes
Ljust use d3dx for now and ill come up and change it when ready
Lmaybe write some code to make it a similar API just in c#
Q
Pyou do realise you have your own channel right 
#silkynvg
#silkynvg
Shey random question,but why are there only 2 projects in silk community?
Lonly 2 projects have asked probably
Sdoes that mean there are probably more silk related projects in community?
Pyeah almost certainly
Pbut yeah only two projects have asked so far
Pand we're 100000% happy to take on more
Scool
Si am thinking of making an ecs system for silk
Sbut i want to finish the basics of my game engine first
