dxUpdateScreenSourceRefreshes a screen source with the game image (without the script overlay). The image arrives 1-2 frames later.dxCreateShaderCreates a shader from a resource .fx file or from code given as a string. In Trilogy Hub a shader performs texture replacement: the image set withdxSetShaderValueunder a texture parameter replaces the world textures chosen withengineApplyShaderToWorldTexture(e.g. custom billboards, signs on buildings, car wraps). The game material stays (lighting, reflections); only the image changes. Pixel and vertex effects from HLSL code are not executed.
