ive 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#

Pyou do realise you have your own channel right

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
Scan't make a pie for someone before you make your own
Lyes you can
AI could bring my pie library to silk community 
S-_-
Syou want a broken ecs system?
Plol unironically sure haha
ALmao
AIt needs a lot of work first (and also it currently uses vortice for the d3d implementation)
And I'd need to think of it a lot before I think about asking to put it in silk community (since it's built primarily for my engine)

Pyeah ofc
Pthere are probably requirements that prevent it going in in its current state anyway
Pi forget what we specifically wrote but i remember them being sensible
AYea
PAFair enough
AActually they are some really sensible requirements
