I think many people have seen the Nirvana project where the author has implemented Normal Mapping, Shadow Volume, and various post-effects. I decided to continue his work.
RenderEdge is a modification for Warcraft III, aimed first and foremost at improving the graphical components of the game by implementing a newer version of the graphics API. |

Installation
Requirements:
- WarCraft III patch 1.26a;
- Windows 7 or above;
- Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017.
Press F7 to show settings GUI. You can also edit settings via RenderEdge.ini.
You can enable the option to load shaders and textures from the RenderEdge folder by editing this value in the Registry Editor: CURRENT_USER\Software\RenderEdge\AllowLocalFiles. Resource search sequence: the loaded map, the RenderEdge folder, the RenderEdge.mpq archive.
You can add new tab in your JNGP to launch RenderEdge easier by editing wehack.lua:
PHP:
-- # begin RenderEdge #
RenderEdgePath = grim.getregpair("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\RenderEdge", "InstallPath")
haveRenderEdge = grim.exists(RenderEdgePath .. "\\RenderEdge.exe")
function toggleRenderEdgeDebug(checked)
if checked then
grim.setregdword("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\RenderEdge", "Debug", 1)
else
grim.setregdword("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\RenderEdge", "Debug", 0)
end
end
function toggleRenderEdgeAllowLocalFiles(checked)
if checked then
grim.setregdword("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\RenderEdge", "AllowLocalFiles", 1)
else
grim.setregdword("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\RenderEdge", "AllowLocalFiles", 0)
end
end
if haveRenderEdge then
RenderEdgeMenu = wehack.addmenu("RenderEdge")
RenderEdgeEnabled = TogMenuEntry:New(RenderEdgeMenu, "Run with RenderEdge", nil, true)
RenderEdgeDebug = TogMenuEntry:New(RenderEdgeMenu, "Debug Mode",
function(self) toggleRenderEdgeDebug(self.checked) end, false)
if grim.getregpair("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\RenderEdge", "Debug") == 1 then
wehack.checkmenuentry(RenderEdgeMenu, RenderEdgeDebug, 1)
else
wehack.checkmenuentry(RenderEdgeMenu, RenderEdgeDebug, 0)
end
RenderEdgeAllowLocalFiles = TogMenuEntry:New(RenderEdgeMenu, "Allow Local Files",
function(self) toggleRenderEdgeAllowLocalFiles(self.checked) end, false)
if grim.getregpair("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\RenderEdge", "AllowLocalFiles") == 1 then
wehack.checkmenuentry(RenderEdgeMenu, RenderEdgeAllowLocalFiles, 1)
else
wehack.checkmenuentry(RenderEdgeMenu, RenderEdgeAllowLocalFiles, 0)
end
end
-- # end RenderEdge #
function testmap(cmdline)
if haveRenderEdge and RenderEdgeEnabled.checked then
local pos = string.find(cmdline, ".exe")
cmdline = string.sub(cmdline, 5 + pos)
cmdline = RenderEdgePath .. "RenderEdge.exe " .. cmdline
end
if wh_opengl.checked then
cmdline = cmdline .. " -opengl"
end
if wh_window.checked then
cmdline = cmdline .. " -window"
end
wehack.execprocess(cmdline)
end
Shaders editing
If you want to edit shaders, download archive, unpack, compile and place them in Shaders folder. Then you can place it in RenderEdge folder, import in your map or in RenderEdge_exp.mpq archive.
Compiling in Visual Studio:
Add the shaders to the project and configure the HLSL Compiler in the project properties as follows:
Compiling by fxc.exe:
Code:
@echo off
fxc.exe /T fx_2_0 /Fo Standard.cso Shaders\Standard.fx /nologo
fxc.exe /T fx_2_0 /Fo Shadows.cso Shaders\Shadows.fx /nologo
fxc.exe /T fx_2_0 /Fo PostProcess.cso Shaders\PostProcess.fx /nologo
fxc.exe /T fx_2_0 /Fo Skybox.cso Shaders\Skybox.fx /nologo
