Solution for Sketchy's 3D Shader? (Pseudo-3D buildings)

Hi. Many (many many and many) years ago, MuddyMole/Sketchy made an example that utilizes a 3D shader to create a Pseudo 3D effect for buildings and walls, under this thread right here:

Pseudo-3D Lighting Engine

This is based on my earlier GTA example, but with a lot of changes.
It makes heavy use of Werbad's 3D shader, so requires HWA to function.

Features:

* Pseudo-3D walls (á la Grand Theft Auto),
* Array-based map editor / loading,
* Improved performance and bug fixes,
* Darkness effect (screen fades to black at edges),
* 360° shadow-casting effect (casts accurate shadows on the ground),
* Line-of-sight effect (hides walls if there is no line-of-sight),
* Variable…

However, as of the newest version of Fusion, the walls of the example are completely distorted and broken for some reason:

Is there a solution for this? A new example or perhaps a new shader to replace the old one? Would be highly appreciated.

Obs: I've been trying to mess with the events and the shader itself, and I realized that the shader was created by Werbad. Searching for his name in the forums, I came upon this thread which already presents a solution to this problem.

RE: 3D Shader by Werbad Issues in DX9+

Okay, soooo...
I just tested Werbad's shader on its own, and it actually works fine.
Which means that the problem is with the events - and I think I've found it!
The issue is with passing integers as parameters that should be floats.

Whenever there's expression to set a shader parameter, like this:
( ( Y Top( "Roof" ) - Min(Y Top( "Floor" ), Y Top( "Roof" )) ) + ( _Height( "Roof" ) * 50 ) ) / ( Max(Y Bottom( "Floor" ), Y Bottom( "Roof" )) - Min(Y Top( "Floor" ), Y Top( "Roof" )) )

...if you force…

However, I don't have "New3D.fx", aka the new shader which solves this problem (which is also absent among Sketchy's files). Could anyone upload it?

The version for DX11 and other runtimes is there, but there is no "New" version, as there has never been an issue with the shader itself - the issue was always with certain CF2.5 events, caused by an update which meant some things that had previously worked, no longer do (specifically, if a parameter takes a float, you _must_ ensure that's what you give it, not an integer).

Thank you! I reinstalled the shaders (just to make sure), but putting decimals on every single integer in the event editor has fixed it.
