[Mod] Black Box Shield Bug Workaround (Integrated Intel Graphics)

[Hurricane]

So I finally got to Naonite and I was excited to put shields on my ship! ...and then it was surrounded by these ugly opaque black boxes. If this bug is ruining Avorion for you, then you have come to the right place!

 

Basically the problem is that on Intel graphics, the shield shaders (shield.frag and shieldgone.frag) aren't working, so you get black boxes where your shields should be. To fix this, we simply disable the shaders to hide the shield effect.

 

Thanks to Pyrotech777 for helping improve this mod!

 

Installation (64 bit):

1: download the attached file

2: unzip the file

2: add shield.frag and shieldgone.frag to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Avorion\data\shaders\blocks

3: enjoy!

 

If you have 32 bit windows, then it's the same as above but without (x86) after Program Files.

If you have a different letter for the hard drive steam is on, go to that letter.

If you are fancy and have a steam library in a different directory than steam, you know what to do.

You can actually just put a dispose as the first line called and it doesn't draw the shield.

 

Sorry discard not dispose. Was going off my memory.

 

discard();

You are right, thanks. Updating the first post to include that change. As a side note, you don't use the parentheses, so it's just discard; frag shaders are not really C so they can get away with stuff like that.

Good to know.

My preference I left the block for shield gone so I could see easier when ships around me lost shields easier since I don't pay attention well.
