Use VertexColors for other things

[SpiderPig]

I wonder if I can pass some custom floats per vertex to a fragment shader like this or does the extracting of the vertex colors in vert shader only work with values from 0.0f to 1.0f?

mesh->SetVertexColor(0, (float)1200, (float)1400, (float)6450, (float)780);

Vertex colors only work with non-skinned meshes because they are stored in the bone indices slot (or bone weights, I don't remember which). They only use one byte each and store values from 0 to 255.

Ohhh okay.  Thanks, I'll try something else.
