JDKnite188 Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 How do I make textures that give off light? I modified a Raven texture, but I want it to give off some light in game. The thing is that I don't know what information I should type for my texture in the *.shader file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psynex Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I hope I beat Psych0 to this one! Anywho, I think the answer you're looking for can be found here. The textures don't give off light though, it's an illusion. The shader just tells the engine what parts of the texture aren't affected by the map lighting so that when you walk into a dark area of the map, the colors on the texture will stay at their value and intensity.

JDKnite188 Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 Do I need to download a program and all just to make it glow? I was thinking that I could just copy and paste some information in Notepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psynex Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 There's no need to download that program, but it does do an ok job of giving you a preview of what your skin will look like. It's also a nice point and click way a testing different options quickly and have the code generated. It's a small program, but if you think you can follow the tutorial without it, then go for it. Just make sure you don't accedently save the notepad file as a .shader.txt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
