Shaders

[Dom_152]

Hi, I'm quite new to mapping. I can make some decent maps but I've been hearing the term Shaders being thrown around a lot so I was wondering how shaders can be used and applied in GTKRadiant. I know how to make them just not how to apply them and how to use them effectivley.

I'm quite the opposite- I know how to use them but not so great at making them, although i did use a simple light emitting shader in my map, you have to add your shader to /base/shaders, and then add the name of your shader to shaderlist.txt, then it will appear in Radiant's menu, then you must use SV_PURE 0, or else you get the gray line thing that happens when you don't use textures properly.

I've been stuck on making shaders. Can anyone explain for me?
