[Request]Extra texture units in Ofusion materials.[DONE]

I've been playing with Ofusion and the shaderFX bridge and have single pass materials with more than 4 texture units.

I can load the shaders via the object/user material but prefer to be able to use Ofusions material editor. but normaly I convert them to ofusion materials and assign them in the material editor. Unfortunately I'm using 6 texture units on my terrain.

Here's my material file which blends 3x normalmaps and 3x diffuse with specular alpha terrain textures. using 2 vertex colors Red to blend grass and dirt, and green to add white rock. Just fits in a single pass on 7800GS.

fragment_program RG_VC3terrainNMSP_ps hlsl
{
source RG_VC3terrainNMSP_ps.source
entry_point f
target ps_2_0
column_major_matrices true

default_params
{
param_named lightColor float4 0 0 0 0
}
}

vertex_program RG_VC3terrainNMSP_vs hlsl
{
source RG_VC3terrainNMSP_vs.source
entry_point v
target vs_2_0
column_major_matrices true

default_params
{
param_named lightPosition float4 0 0 0 0
param_named viewInv float16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

param_named wvp float16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
}
}

Modern video cards can handle this easily in a single pass, so I thought I'd ask if it would be possible to have more texture units, or an option to enable extra texture units. My last non ogre engine that used DX7 supported up to8 textures.

Perhaps something like the # of user defined buttons in the 3dsmax modifier stack?

The hotfix #313oECMS is in your account page with support for up to 32 texture units per pass

Details about this are in the knowledge base section:

ah, excellent thanks

That was quick, I just checked and works a treat .
