ThermalShade - Shader Compatibility Fix

ThermalShade is a specialized patch that resolves display issues with Thermal Dynamics duct covers when used alongside ShadersMod.

What This Mod Does

The mod makes necessary adjustments to Thermal Dynamics code to resolve compatibility conflicts. It modifies specific parameters in Thermal Dynamics code and disables the hole creation system in duct covers that causes instability.

Technical Problem Details

ShadersModCore replaces Minecraft's standard tessellator with its own version that uses 18 integers per vertex instead of the standard 8. This creates serious conflicts with the unique duct cover tessellation code in Thermal Dynamics, which is originally designed to work with the standard tessellator. ThermalShade adapts the expected tessellator vertex size in Thermal Dynamics to match the changes made by ShadersModCore.

Important Warnings

Mandatory Requirement: This mod works ONLY with ShadersMod installed. Using ThermalShade without ShadersMod will cause Minecraft to crash.

Compatibility: If you decide to remove ShadersMod from your modpack, be sure to also remove ThermalShade.

Alternative Solution for Version 1.12.2

For Minecraft 1.12.2 users, consider the Unifine mod as an alternative solution for similar compatibility issues.
