omg, its a 2d game, you expected? having gta v graphics or cod bo3?
to have more graphics, they would have to change the engine that drive the game, and is quite hard work for developers.
the best you can do is play with all the best of graphics and configuration, you should not complain being that it is a free game: P
You can call lightblend, shadeblend, maskblend image mode a shader.

Axelord: löve is a 2D game engine and it does support shaders, it's not a GTA V or BO3 like-engine.https://love2d.org/wiki/Shader

cracker: I had already suggested this before, I think, there's a library for Shaders on BlitzMax but SQ rejected this idea due to it's instability. 
And shaders are not limited to big games only.
HumayunJ: What the right one has to do with shaders? I'm sorry, I'm graphics guy at Unity and I do not understand this. Ah, just being sarcastic, that effect is achieved through different sprites, otherwise it would be waste of GPU performance. BlitzMax - like nearly every "modern" (lol) 2D engine - is using hardware acceleration from the GPU. So actually everything is rendered using the 3D rendering capabilities of the GPU. 2D sprites consist of 2 tris and are actually a 3D mesh. This is also why it's easily possible to freely rotate, scale and alpha blend stuff.
Regarding the shaders:
It DOES NOT simply work like
shader magic BOOM awesome graphics Also
BlitzMax doesn't have direct and simple shader support @ cracker: What exactly are you thinking about? What kind of shaders? (it doesn't really matter but I would like to know) DC: Maybe @ cracker: Want to add a shader modification to the map editor or something better. 
,i dont think shader mod possible...Wait,what? a shader in 2d game?!
It will decrease amount of peformance.Since CS2D was reccomended on slower pc,It will be reccommended on faster pc.Still not possible...
I think
Edit:Ignore about my english....
I dont think your own pc doesnt like CS2D graphics.

[LIBRARY] LibraryName=sys\enbseries.dll [TARGETPROCESS] ProcessName0=CounterStrike2D.exe
As you can see in these screenshots - there is overall illumination of frame and it depends on brightness level of all pixels on screen - but it is standard settings and pallette, which not adapted for CS2D and certainly it need to fine tuning for all options.
So if anyone is interested - I think he will be able to make correct settings and pallette than it is in moment, and in combination with light and shadow engine it will be very nice and cool feature for CS2D especially for moviemaking.
And more than this - there are a lot of analogues of ENBseries like: ReShade / SweetFX / GEMFX / GeDoSaTo / MasterEffect / Inject FXAA / Inject SMAA / nVidia FXAA Tool/... and so on and etc.+ Also there are some separate programs - for example:
RadeonPro Integration
So relatively to have a better graphics with using these "shaders" - it would be nice to see variants to combine some of it in one pack - for this you can add it main dlls to ENB Series ini
to have ability to connect multiple dlls in enbseries.ini:

[LIBRARY] LibraryName=sys\enbseries.dll [TARGETPROCESS] ProcessName0=CounterStrike2D.exe
So it can work same like as it works in GTA 5, Skyrim, so on.
There are some video for example:

(ENB+SweetFX+FXAA)

And question for DC - What you can say about these topics?

More tag added for larger / multiple images. / GeoB99 
Pagyra: These seem to be OpenGL shaders only or am I wrong? What about DirectX? CS2D performs bad for many users when running it with OpenGL. Therefore OpenGL-only solutions are not an option. DC I'm not programmer, and more i don't know Blitzmax.There are dozens of layered parallax 2D shaders or same fake 3d shaders (Same way as has been added to the game engine code of light and shadow).
Depth of field (blur the background or foreground layers in real time) Bloom Full screen distortion effects Localised distortion effects (think sound waves around explosions) Various lighting and shadow effectsWhich can be done in pure 2D as animated image layers or with possibility of movement of game camera.
I am hoping you can add a simple way to use same shaders on CS2D. Or you can add some injections of dlls libraries (like ENB and so on)
This can be done with using lua ... but it's very inconvenient way.
And what about add some sprite lamp for skins, tiles and other images?

,but not all Graphic Cards and PCs support ENB .Still have another choice? 
sonkii: You have MDA (Monochrome Display Adapter) and it not support CS2D ? And actually, I think that CS2D uses shaders (or at least some sort of) for lighting in this new version. (thus the reason for older systems not supporting the new lighthing on openGL mode)
@
Pagyra: Depth of field would not fit on CS2D at all, it just doesn't makes sense for a 2D *not so detailed* game to use a shader like that, in my opinion. Bloom is a simple interesting shader effect but I (and most of CS2D players, I think, ugh) would not like these over satured and eye-cancerous colors on our screens. These distortion and shockwave effects (on explosions at least, not sure what you meant by fullscreen), I would quite like.. They are nice, look pretty neat and also, improve the climax a lot. I do remember that someone made a script that simulated that just can't remember its name.. There's already some decent light and shadow effects (although I'm up for the idea of being able to query them through lua since we now use a fully (or almost) dynamic lighting engine) The parallax stuff, these are not implemented through shaders... from what I know. The sprite lamp thing, it would for sure look cool but every skin (or almost every skin) would need to be re-drawn without any shadow and stuff for it to look and work properly. Also it would take some performance so...Anyways,
shaders would be quite complicated to add to CS2D because they would need to be written 2x (a directX version and an openGL one)..
Although I agree that they could be added, not as a graphic enchancement feature but as a customization one, where you could choose one (or two ugh) shaders to give more life to your game, just like Minecraft, Mari0 or PPSSPP. These games/apps feature shaders for fun and to bring the user some customization of the look of their game (shaders like CRT TV Effect, Scanlines, Bloom, HQ4X scaling, Inverted Colors, Sepia, Curvature, etc) and the user isn't forced to use them or all of them.
Or(/And
) you could add a shader sytem where the user could create, customize or add their own shaders (in GLSL or HLSL format (or whatever format the shader API blitz uses)), this would be the most simple way and would not require much work. So yeah, there's my idea. edited 4×, last 13.06.16 11:09:31 pm
