Shaders on models and textures?

[the_raven]

The game has RGB shaders, shine shaders, invisibility shaders (saboteur, shadowtrooper), and I've also seen some mods that make parts of models transparent with different colors. So, how do I add and remove shaders?

You edit/create or remove .shader files. Just don't touch the original ones in the game's .pk3. Instead create a new .pk3 with the same path and it should be used instead of originals.

well yeah, I figured that much, but how do I edit them exactly?

also, thanks for the reply

Notepad, some text editor or the shader editor that ships with the sdk tools.

you're joking right?

I'm asking what text I should edit, not the software to use for it!

Check out the shader manual here: http://q3map2.robotrenegade.com/docs/shader_manual/contents.html

 

It may take a while to understand if you're new to modding, but just try to adapt existing shaders by adding layers that glow and stuff like that based on the stuff you learn in the shader manual.

I know you guys do, but I already know how to open shader files, that's why I'm asking for help - I open the file, but don't know what to change exactly (then again, I downloaded a "ghost morgan katarn" mod that's got a translucency shader. might try to change the texture path and see where that goes...

Your questions sounded workflow related. When you should've asked "how do i learn shader code?" That's your problem right there.

yeah, ok. sorry for the confusion, and for ranting
