Beta 1 is available on Unity Asset Store now

 

Would this work with VS 2015 Community?

 

@NoobStudios Not supports Visual Studio for now. I will publish Visual Stuido plugin in future depends on how this assets going on Unity Assets Store.

 

Aww, that sucks. I really needed this to work on both Code and VS.

 

@NoobStudios I have a open sourced VS plugin for shaderlab, it has VS 2015 supports, you may try this https://github.com/wudixiaop/ShaderlabVS

 

Beta2 with snippets support is available on Asset Store now

 

V1.0.3 is available on Asset Store now

 

看起来不错，便宜点就好了，我等等看看有没有降价或打折活动

 

V1.0.5 with Region mark support is available on Asset Store. BTW One Week Sales will end in few days.

 

Bug report on document format :

Before format:

#pragma surface surf Lambert vertex:vert​

After format:

#pragma surface surf Lambert vertex: vert​

Formatted version causes shader compile error, plz fix that asap.

 

Thank you for details. I will fix it ASAP.

 

V1.0.6 with fix of Document Format is available on Asset Store now.

 

Hello! I recently use your extension for visual studio code, I really like it. But I noticed one bug, with several document formatting, indentation after #if, #endif and so on.
Also, the formatting inside the structures leads to alignment with the variables, I would like to see

#if defined(_RENDERING_CUTOUT)
clip(alpha - _AlphaCutoff);
#endif

but not

#if defined (_RENDERING_CUTOUT)
clip (alpha - _AlphaCutoff);
#endif

Thank you for the wonderful extension!

PS. Sorry for my bad English.

 

Hi,

Deleting it from my project worked, thanks.

Greate help！

 

@Amlovey ,
Before I buy the asset, I've got a few questions about it:

1. Does it inspect included files? I.e., will it suggest functions for autocompletion if I have those declared in an external ".cginc" / ".hlsl" file which is included:
a) from the same folder, with

Code (CSharp):

1. #include "file.hlsl"

b) from any other folder, with

Code (CSharp):

1. #include "Assets/path/to/file.hlsl"
2. #include "Packages/path/to/shader/library.hlsl"

2. Does this plugin support new SRP-style shaders (for URP/HDRP)?
I.e., detecting included files from packages (as in example above), parsing HLSLPROGRAM block, support for texture samplers declaration, pass names/tags suggestion ("LightMode"="UniversalForward"), etc.

3. Is it possible to customize code style? Specifically, tabs instead of spaces (for indents), brackets positioning (end of line / new line - for structs/funcs/pass blocks).

 

Hi

Thank you for your post.

For #1, it works for same folder and relative path base on the shader file folder.
For #2, Not support for now. But I can add it for later release.
For #3, Not full support now. No brackets positioning options..but have indents feature which base on VSCode Settings.

 

@Amlovey
Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, 1.b (including files by the full path based on the project root, not relatively to the shader) and 2 (SRP support, at least for HLSL part) are two things that I absolutely need.

The plugin itself looks great. Would love to see the updated version with these 2 features added.

 

Thank you for the great extension!

I would appreciate it if you could fix the code format issue.

Before format:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. float test()
3. {
4.     if (1 == 1)
5.     {
6.         float a = 1;
7.     }
8.  
9.     if (2 == 2)
10.     {
11.         float b = 2;
12.     }
13.  
14.     return 0;
15. }
16.  

After format: The white space after the second if statement disappears.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. float test()
3. {
4.     if (1 == 1)
5.     {
6.         float a = 1;
7.     }
8.  
9.     if(2 == 2)
10.     {
11.         float b = 2;
12.     }
13.  
14.     return 0;
15. }
16.  

 

I will fix it in next release, Thank you for feedback.

 

From Version 1.2.2, ShaderlabVSCode supports builtin CGInclude files in Unity Editor application and the version is already available on Asset Store now.

 

> After format: The white space after the second if statement disappears.
This issue was fixed in 1.2.2! Thank you for the fix!

I found another new issue with the format.

Before format:

Code (CSharp):

1. float test()
2. {
3.     for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
4.     {
5.         // do something
6.     }
7.  
8.     return 0;
9. }

After format: A space is inserted before ++.

Code (CSharp):

1. float test()
2. {
3.     for (int i = 0; i < 10; i ++)
4.     {
5.         // do something
6.     }
7.  
8.     return 0;
9. }

 

Thank you very much for feedback. I have already fix it in my side. Would you mind drop an email to amlovey@qq.com. I can send you the latest packages via email.

 

Thanks for the great plugin.
I don't want to put a line break before the curly brackets "{".
I want to set whether or not to start a new line.

 

I think I can add a setting item to config whether start a new line or not. I will add it in next release.

 

Thank you!

 

Hi @hacozac , new version v1.2.3 is available on asset store. The new formatting setting item is added. Uncheck the setting item will not place open brace on new line

 

Version 1.2.4 will be submitted to Asset Store in next few days. Two main improvements in new release

1. `Go To Definition` works for methods/variables/structs



2. Hover information support variable type information

 

Version 1.2.4 is available on Asset Store already.

 

Hi amlovey,

I recently bought the asset and already love the autocompletion <3
However I noticed one thing I would very kindly ask for you to consider as another fix / feature

Pass tags get autoformatted into one line even if they are placed into multiple ones. This is not particularly inconvenient but it is inconsistent with Subshader tags which remain on separate lines if they have been placed like that. Having another option to configure this or just keep current style would be nice

this:


becomes this:


I noticed this because I had a pass tag that was commented out in the first line and this resulted in all tags being commented out including the closing bracket.

Code (CSharp):

1. Tags { // "LightMode" = "Always" }

 

Hi, thank you for purchasing. It’s good idea that add a new option to config style. I will add it in next release.

 

Hi @Amlovey ,

I saw your update added my requested feature which was the ability to indent Instancing buffer start/ends. First of all, thanks! However, it seems it only accounts for the obsolete version of the macro name. Thankfully, the way you implemented the feature to the extension makes it easy to fix. Adding

UNITY_INSTANCING_BUFFER_START: 'UNITY_INSTANCING_BUFFER_END',

to

MACRO_METHODS_PAIR

in the Formatter module fixes it.

Thanks again! Got 5 stars from me!

 

Thank you for review

 

I am a bit confused by the two version on the Asset store. What is the difference ShaderLabVS Pro and ShaderLabVSCode? I am looking for a tool to help me write shaders directly in HLSL and provide the functionality that comes along with C# in Visual Studio.

Thanks! Glad to made this. Editing HLSL is such a disaster without any code completion.

 

Hi,

ShaderlabVSCode is extension of Visual Studio Code
ShaderlabVS Pro is extension of Visual Studio

 

Oh wow, thanks for clarifying. For some reason I thought Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio was the same thing. Thanks so much! That clarifies it all.

 

I installed the extension again today on a new machine and noticed that block comments get indented every time I press shift + alt + f
Is there a setting to change this or is this a fixable bug?

 

Thank you for feedbacks. It will be fixed in next release.

 

Found another bug, sorry (thanks for fixing the indenting btw)
in hlsl files if you comment closing include guards the way unity does it too:

Code (CSharp):

1. #endif // RANDOMROTATIONTEXTURESAMPLE_INCLUDED

Formatting the document removes the last letter until the entire comment is removed (becomes: #endif //).
Probably because it should remove spaces / breaks at the end of file an treats comments the same way?

 

Seems that it’s a regression bug. I will fix it in next few days

 

Hi @fleity,

The package with the fix is available on Unity Asset Store now.

 

I don't know how to use install
