Madden 08 uses cube maps for at least some shaders. In order to edit them and save the changes properly, using PS CS2 9.0, click Save, select .DDS, then when the NVIDIA DDS plugin dialog opens choose: 8.8.8 RGB 24-bit (the DDS cube's original default, at least for file 31) change 2D Texture to Cube Map in the second drop box, and select No MIP maps (it still creates the 6 separate textures this way via the Cube Map setting).

If you select 2D Texture, it flattens the cube map into a 1x6 panel texture, rather than 6-sided squares (hence, cube)

If you select Use Existing MIP maps, it will not save any changes you've made.

[trey31]

This is a test... this is only a test.

Shader dds file #31 (zero-based arrays) modified with curves (+30/-30) and contrast (+33?). This is the result of modifying one shader dds. In this test Madden is completely vanilla. No other mods at all. First photo dump is of a light skinned player at 1pm with custom weather default warm temp.

Spoiler:

Suffice to say, it has not been tweaked.

Example #2, focus on the jersey numbers and how they are significantly affected by the modified shader

Spoiler:

[trey31]

Also, if anyone is curious, I've been trying to teach myself 3D rendering specific to DX rather than learning about modeling itself ala Maya or Blender. I want to modify Madden's models and in order to do that I need to understand DX. As a result, this (shaders) is a byproduct of reading dev material and watching videos. Madden also has code for bump-mapping. Haven't gotten into that much yet. No clue if it can be utilized/modified. No clue if I will ever do a shader mod. To be honest this is all secondary to my primary goal, modeling Madden.

Out of time for now, but I added some warmth and drastically increased white levels and it seems to be much brighter. Will do a specific comparison later. For now these are what shaders look like if you were curious. The center is default dds texture, the bottom is the first test (way too dark) from the photo dump above, the top is with the color added and white levels increased.

EDIT: why add color? Our son is yellow, not monochrome. I have seen this before in an Oblivion or Skyrim mod (IIRC) and thought it was a significant improvement to the "realism" of the screen captures.

Awesome research and development on this one. I think tweaking the shaders will definitely help modernize the game, then from there we can always try shooting for model edits

Thanks. I'm learning all kinds of neat stuff about DX and I wanted to post this. I might not do an actual "mod" for it, but I wanted to post what I've been looking at/playing with so that if I don't get to it the knowledge will at least be posted.

And I think there are 20 different DDS shaders. The screens from above were just from tweaking one of them.

[trey31]

Awesome research and development on this one.

Also, any ideas about what I could do with File 30 (zero based)? It's not compressed but I don't know how to view it, but I'm fairly certain it is the game code for implementing the shaders and bump maps. I just can't view the code in a similar way to the code posted in Post #1 in this thread.

So would/could you do a cooler set for indoor games or is it all working off the same set?

As for that file, I'll have to look when I get home I forget which filetype that was.

It would be great to find a fix for how player numbers "glow in the dark" whenever a player enters an area on the field that is shaded.
