Outline Material?

I've seen this done before, so I'm pretty dang sure it's possible. I just have no idea how to go about doing it, I'm terrible with material files.

Basically I'm looking for a way to create this effect, just like an outline outside of the character.
I tried playing around with this guy's material but to no avail. I dunno if it's only meant for a specific shader or whats up.

The material itself kinda works, like the texture still shows up at least, the outline just doesn't show up.

Code:

material videyo_ozzy
{
    receive_shadows on
    technique
    {
        pass OutlineExperiement
{
    diffuse 1 1 1
    set $edgeScale 900
    set $sinkScale 1
    vertex_program_ref OutlineExperimentVP
    {
        param_named edgeScale float $edgeScale
        param_named sinkScale float $sinkScale
    }
        {
        ambient 0.95 0.95 0.95 1
        diffuse 0.6 0.6 0.6 1
        specular 0.1 0.1 0.1 1
          
          
            texture_unit
            {
                texture ozzytex.png
            }
        }
    }
}
}

 

Alas, that coding is not compatible with this server.
I think that kind of coding requires certain flies to be within the core game which DoE lacks.

The game is still in alpha so maybe in the future @Myz could fix this issue as well as the asymmetrical marks which also don't work.

 

Dang that's a bummer. Thanks for letting me know though!!

 

Not a problem.

From my experience all other presets codes will work including scrolling, glow, layered markings, asymmetrical eyes and so on. (minus cel shading, which falls under the outline problem)
