Adding Effects to Weapons.

[Jalaco]

Alright, before I begin yes I did read the other ''shader topic'' but it didn't answer my questions. I was wondering a few things; how did superpie add the glow to the Luci, did it require epic coding I'll just have to copy? Also, does that mod require a cgame mod? I was told that it does. Thanks.

You have to make a new shader file that overwrites the shaders you want to modify in data-1.1.0.pk3, and put it in a (filename after data-1.1.0 alphabetically).pk3 in same subfolder. You can add new skins/textures the same way. No cgame change / coding skills are needed, just being able to make/edit shaders and image files. You should take a look at superpie's mod .pk3. The mods only work on unpure servers, or servers that have the same mod.

I understand all that, and have made a few mods myself, even released a couple. But what I'm wondering is, superpie added totally new scripts, is that necessary for making glows? if so how do I make one myself, would that require the coding complexities of making one of those from scratch?

No, it's mostly just an extra shader stage with a texture that has a color on the spot where the glow is desired, and the rest is black. Then it's GL blended with GL_ONE GL_ONE(add). Optionally a rgbGen wave keyword is used to make it pulsate.

You Need This. . . . :

Lcannon. shader

models/weapons/lcannon/lcannon
{
   cull disable
   {
      map models/weapons/lcannon/lcannon. jpg
      rgbGen lightingDiffuse
   }
   {
      map $whiteimage
      rgbGen lightingDiffuse
      blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_SRC_ALPHA
      detail
      alphaGen lightingSpecular
   }
   {
      map models/buildables/mgturret/ref_map. jpg
      blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ONE
      detail
      tcGen environment
   }
   {
      map models/weapons/lcannon/lcannon_glow. jpg               
      blendFunc add
      rgbGen wave sin . 98 . 02 0 5
      detail
   }
}

This is For what glow On

      map models/weapons/lcannon/lcannon_glow. jpg               
      blendFunc add
      rgbGen wave sin . 98 . 02 0 5
      detail

And One Photo What Got The Glow  In Parts what you want

Thanks for the script! If I was to change that for other weapons, aliens and buildings, would I just change the path? As well as, of course the glow picture.

Well I'd guess if changing the path with that can make hummies glow, it would be the same for aliens. Thanks a million!
