Talk:ShaderPool

This thread is for the roof shader comparisons between different versions based on the base game and EPs. Please keep this thread and only edit for the lastest version based on EP. Preview-check before save.

How to use? The version was first saved from TS2 the base game one up to the Seasons one, and the versions are listed as summaries. Just choose the desired versions at the "history" tab after loading the "article" tab page for comparison. (coz there're histories for both the article and talk.)

Individual version can be found from the summaries in the history page.

EP0 =(#)= EP1-UNI =/= EP2-NL =/= EP3-OFB =/($)= EP4 =/= EP5-SS

(#): fundamentally identical, but just 2 unimportant comments were deleted ($): watch for comparision between wrong phrases after line 250, but the later part is really different

"==" means identical/equivalent; "=/=" means not identical/equivalent "EP0" means the base game TS2 version, and the rests are self-explanatory.

click here, and choose the two versions of the same shader for comparisons or shader comprehension.

Thanks.

Personal Comment: if one has compared the pool and the wallPS shader of EP4-Pets with other, one will see why the poolwall in Pets was so messed up. Seemingly, Maxis staffs failed to finish the curved pool wall before that EP release.
