white boxed textures

[Takeoffyouhoser]

so, all these are shaders which emit light right???

there are some floor's i like which are in a white box and i was wondering if these are used to replace light entities being all over the place?

No, those with a white box around them are shaders, but not all emit light. I believe that only a few of the sky shaders emit light, but I can't think of their specific names off the top of my head.

anything with a white border in the texture window is a shader PERIOD. the light-emitting shaders have "_light" on the end of their name.

or if it has glow at the end, I think. But it is best to use regular lights unless you are using "very small" lights.

the way to tell is hold the shift key and left click on the texture with a white box and the shader script will open in notepad. look for something like this

 

"q3map_surfacelight 450"

 

this texture shader emits light
