Problems with Shader 3.0?

[Hexogen]

So, i've tried to use Shader 3.0 since i've got my new GTX 285.

I've checked the RenderInfo.txt, and it said my shader is 4, so i enabled 3.0 shaders by changing bAllow30Shaders=1 and by renaming my 4 shader file to the 19 shader file, as i've read in several readmes and tutorials.

 

Problem is: now my sky is ENTIRELY black at days, but at night, its just a normal night sky.

 

Only environmental mod i have added is All Natural.

 

Any information on what i'm doing wrong?

 

Greetings,

Hexo

 

Edit: Oh and by the way, how do i change my keyboard layout? Since my last reinstall, it seems to use english keyboard layouts, instead of my german one, so Y is Z etc etc, and i cant use my üöä

You should be copying "shaderpackage019.sdp" and renaming the copy to "shaderpackage004.sdp" to use the 3.0 shaders. There should be no missing shaders in the .\Shader directory. Now I don't know if this actually changes anything, but I do it anyway. I guess it's because the effects are the same, but they use the updated language profile instead so they perform better than 2.0 shaders.

 

As for your second problem, I don't know of anyway to change the keyboard layout. Did it use the proper one before your reinstall? I would think that the german version of the game would use the proper keyboard, unless you're using a different localized version. If you had to patch your game, did you use the german version and not the english one?

Ah yes sorry i had a little turn in there, sure, i renamed the 19 package to 4, result: black skies.

And i was able to fix the second problem, something i installed changed the iLanguage in the config file to 0 without my knowing :)

 

Still, i'd like to use the 3.0 shaders.
