Class Fx2EffectWriter

Namespace

ShadowDusk.Core

Assembly

ShadowDusk.Core.dll

Emits the D3D9 Effects Framework binary ("fx_2_0", version token 0xFEFF0901) that FNA consumes via FNA3D/MojoShader — the FNA analog of MgfxWriter. There is no public spec for this format; the byte layout implemented here follows MojoShader's parser as documented field-by-field in docs/fx2-binary-format.md, cross-checked against real fxc /T fx_2_0 output (tests/fixtures/golden/FNA/).

Layout recap: 8-byte header (token + pool size), then a "data pool" holding every typedef/string/value blob addressed by offsets relative to file offset 8, then the structured stream (counts → parameter records → technique/pass/state records → small / large object sections). MojoShader performs no bounds checking on pool offsets, so this writer is solely responsible for their validity.

Methods

Write(Fx2EffectDesc)

Serializes effect into the D3D9 fx_2_0 effects binary (.fxb) FNA loads.

public Result<byte[], ShaderError> Write(Fx2EffectDesc effect)

Parameters

effect Fx2EffectDesc

The fx_2_0 effect description to serialize.

Returns

Result<byte[], ShaderError>

The fx_2_0 bytes on success, or a ShaderError when the effect uses a render or sampler state FNA's runtime would throw on (and which the writer rejects up front).
