Greetings,
(Hope this is the correct forum)
What file format are shaders from Halo circa 2003? they have either vertexShader.vsh.x or fragmentShader.fsh.x. My initial guess is that they are some sort of directX but is that format still available for reading/parsing?

thanks!

There is no way to tell from the file or extension alone. Shaderfiles are just text documents, so they could be named fancystuff.fancyextension and it still would work. The only hind that is give though is that the term fragment is used, which hints at being a glsl shader, but again, this can be a deliberate naming choice.

If you can paste some of the code we could probably identify what language it is though.

thanks for the reply --
the shader itself appears to be binary -- I uploaded a vertex & a fragment shader here:
