shader help

[patchx]

can anyone tell me how to make a new shader come up in game?

 

i made an edited version of the slime shader that isnt translucent and got it to show up in GTK but it doesnt show up in game all i did was added a new entry to the imperial.shader file the same as the slime one and deleted the translucent bit

You will need to add it to your pk3 file.

the actuall texture?

 

its already there its the slime one i just wanna alter its translucency

Do they have different reference names or your copied the names also?

 

Suppose you have:

 

textures/imperial/slime1

{

code

code

}

 

then you should copy it and then change the name, ie:

 

textures/imperial/slime1_custom

{

different code

different code

}

 

ps:

 

I suggest you make different shader file for it otherwise you'll need to distribute whole imperial.shader when your map is ready.

yup i called it slime2

but the rest is the same everything except the "surfparm translucent" line which i deleted from the altered one

 

does the jk2 game use the imperial.shader file or is that just for GTKRadiant?

 

and if it doesnt is there a different shader control file thing that i have to alter for the game?

jk2 game definetely uses imperial.shader. I am sure of it.

Actually, it uses all shader files stored in your base/shaders.

I dunno why it's not working. :/

 

What exactly do you see in the game? Anyway, as I said, it's better to make new file.

thanks x-com

 

i made a new shader file called tavion.shader but how do i get GTK to give me the option of using it?

1. Make an empty tavion directory under base/textures.

 

2. Add "tavion" to shaderlist.txt in base/shaders

 

3. Make a file tavion.shader in base/shaders (you did that already)

 

4. Now paste the slime code (with whatever modification you want, only leave the first line intact) in it.

 

textures/[b]tavion[/b]/slime2
{
qer_editorimage	textures/imp_mine/slime
surfaceparm	water
surfaceparm	fog
surfaceparm	trans
sort	seeThrough
fogparms	( 0.32549 0.635294 0.0156863 ) 256.0
deformvertexes	wave	100 sin 1 2 0 0.25
   {
       map textures/imp_mine/slime
       blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
       rgbGen wave noise 0.5 0.1 0 25
       tcMod turb 1 0.05 -1 0.05
       tcMod scroll 0.01 -0.025
       tcMod stretch noise 1 0.01 0 0.05
   }
   {
       map textures/imp_mine/slime
       blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
       rgbGen wave sin 0.25 0.1 0.5 1
       tcMod scroll 0.05 0.05
       tcMod turb 1 0.1 1 0.005
       tcMod stretch noise 1 0.01 0 0.05
       tcMod scale 0.5 0.5
   }
   {
       map $lightmap
       blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_SRC_COLOR
   }
}

 

Now in radiant, you should see tavion texture set in the menu.
