*UPDATE VER 1.2:

+Changed the method of Alpha Test to fix the visual artifact about the appearance of the "seeing through" outline around the edge of the alpha object if the AlphaThreshold value is set low enough. ( sta.sh/01o9nxuxx2b4)
    (This problem is just about the same as MMD shader's alpha problem, but with the "outline" being smoothed out). And the old method is actually not the Alpha Test method itself, it's called "Alpha Cutoff" and doesn't work like Alpha Test (the latter isn't supposed to have that artifact). The new method... Idk, I actually figured it out in my mind and implemented it right away, very simple, and it works exactly the same way as Alpha Test does (so far), so I guess that wraps things up.

+Implemented Alpha Test's affection to some overlooked circumstances that weren't affected when the Alpha Test option is enabled. (Ex: When the MSS+ ExcellentShadow is chosen but you didn't load ExcellentShadow.x, the Alpha Test wouldn't operate and you would still see the alpha problem as usual, etc.)

The Object.fx from ver1.1 would be compatible with this version

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

*UPDATE VER 1.1:

+Now support all material morphs (I hope so???). Updated the base shader from "full.fx ver1.4" to "full.fx ver2.0"

+Added Alpha Testing option (For objects have complex texture transparency like trees, some certain models' hair,... that MMD might have trouble rendering/ Or for you lazy-ass don't bother to re-order things like Miku's lace,...)

Testing the added features with this model: sta.sh/0es1rck60g (updated the shader to ver 1.2)

I think that's a little too much to add into this shader already (the fact that this shader's purpose is to act as a upgraded version of MMD basic shader making it worse), next time I might as well make a new separate shader instead.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

For testing normal map and specular map beforehand (or for those who have strange taste like me be fond of the look of MMD quack ass shader but have the need to use those two maps)

So this is basically the same as MMD's default shader, but now with normal map and specular map support (yeah I only care about those 2 cuz PjD is all about them). If you set a flat normal and specular map, you would get the same visual of MMD's default shader

Supports SimpleSoftShadow and ExcellentShadow because literally NO ONE stan MMD's ugly ass shadow sta.sh/04tzi1v11n2

In my experience, this thing is loaded at least a bit faster than other shaders that support normal/specular map (both with SimpleSoftShadow enabled) one reason of it might be because this one minimizes the differences between it and the default shader as much as possible, while others tend to do their own twist such as color corrections and stuffs...

If ur a lazy fuck you can take a look of the shader by using this model sta.sh/01zxhpbp7muo

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

How to use (assuming someone want to do it):

It is pretty much self-explain, but at the most basic level, you just have to

1_Open Object.fx and change the normal map and specular map to the one the material would use.
2_Clone and modifying the normal and specular map in the clone files if you want to use the shader for 2 or more materials.
3_Apply them to their respective material in MMD.

For further modifications / settings, I've written notes in the Object.fx, you should be able to understand after reading it. Too lazy to explain it again here.

NOTICES:

+Although I tried to make it as similar as MMD's shader as much as possible, it won't respond to most Material Morphs (except the transparent slider) Fixed in ver1.1

+MSS+.fxsub / MSS+ SimpleSoftShadow.fxsub / MSS+ ExcellentShadow.fxsub must be in the same folder of the Object.fx (and the clones of it)
