it's more or less usable now! all images (except for the ones of moinmoin itself) are still missing. possibly articles are missing as well, haven't checked yet (and the lost downloads are missing, of course)

If you want the game to ignore a line in a shader, put this in front of the line and the game will ignore it. Using this is essential for troubleshooting. You can comment out blocks of entries by placing a /* before the area you want to have commented out and a */ after the area that you want commented out. The areas between these are commented out. <span class="anchor" id="line-14"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-15"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line891"><strong>Defaults</strong>: the game loads from q4base, so you won’t need to write q4base in the shader path names. <span class="anchor" id="line-16"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-17"></span></li></ol><p class="line867"><strong>Example:</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-18"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-19"></span><pre>1) models/monsters/iron_maiden/base

<span class="anchor" id="line-38"></span></pre><span class="anchor" id="line-39"></span><p class="line874">What we’ll do is define all of the shader line by line. <span class="anchor" id="line-40"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-41"></span><ol type="1"><li><p class="line891"><strong>The shader title</strong> (models/monsters/iron_maiden/base) This is probably one of the most used lines in the game. This is the name of the shader that the game looks for when it’s used by an entity or brush in the game. <span class="anchor" id="line-42"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-43"></span><ol type="i"><li><p class="line862">For <strong>Textures</strong> this is the name that appears in the editor. It also serves as a path name, so if you’re looking for a texture in medlabs and the name of the shader is textures/medlabs/wall1, the texture would be in the same directory. The last entry in the line is the texture name and the previous entries (textures/medlabs) are organizational directories in the editor <span class="anchor" id="line-44"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-45"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line862">For <strong>Models</strong>, the shader title needs to be added as a <em>surface on the model itself</em>. When the model is loaded into the game, it sees the shader name and loads the texture as projected by the UV map. You can have multiple shader titles on the same model. All you’d need to do is select the geometry in your 3d package and assign the shader name to it. <span class="anchor" id="line-46"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-47"></span></li></ol></li><li class="gap"><p class="line862">The <strong>Open bracket</strong> ({ ) begins the first pass of the shader. <em>ALL SHADERS NEED TO HAVE AN OPEN AND A CLOSE BRACKET</em>. If not, the game will either crash or break a long list of other shaders following it. Think of the shader title as a chapter title and the open and close brackets are the beginning and the ending of a chapter. <span class="anchor" id="line-48"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-49"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line891"><strong>Shader Parameters</strong> are <em>attributes that are applied to the whole shader</em>. <span class="anchor" id="line-50"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-51"></span></li><li class="gap">Another Global Shader Parameter option <span class="anchor" id="line-52"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-53"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line862">The <strong>Render (bump) line</strong> is used ONLY in models. This line is NOT used in game for viewing a set of targas. Activating a model for rendering a normal map uses this line, otherwise it’s dormant string. <span class="anchor" id="line-54"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-55"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line862">The <strong><a class="nonexistent" href="./MaterialImage.html">MaterialImage</a></strong> is an option that allows for a texture or a model to have multiple hit impacts, by using a color coated Targa. If you use this option you must point it to a targa by writing a path name to the file. So if you were to shoot the Iron Maiden in the above example, the impact would change depending on where you hit it. (The <a class="nonexistent" href="./MaterialImage.html">MaterialImage</a> targa has colors for flesh, solidmetal, hollowmetal, and gelatinous fluids) <strong><a class="nonexistent" href="./MaterialType.html">MaterialType</a></strong> is a command that assumes that the whole testure or skin has one attribure (all flesh, all rubber) it does not load a TGA, it uses a script so we save on texture memory! <span class="anchor" id="line-56"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-57"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line891"><strong>Diffusemap</strong> is a shortcut option that creates a rendering stage for the diffuse targa (base colors of the texture or skin) This line needs a path name to the file (.tga) being used. In this case (models/monsters/iron_maiden/base_d.tga) All diffuse targas should have an _d suffix. <span class="anchor" id="line-58"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-59"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line891"><strong>Bumpmap</strong> is a shortcut option that creates a rendering stage for the Height targa and Local targa. In this case you need an additional command <strong>addnormals</strong> to this string, this allows for the height targa and the local targa to be loaded in unison. This line needs a path name to the files (.tga) being used. <span class="anchor" id="line-60"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-61"></span><ol type="i"><li><p class="line862">The <strong>Bumpmap</strong> uses the _local targa. This file allows the texture or model to take light correctly. The _local files are generated in game by either renderbumping a texture or a high poly model to a low poly model. <span class="anchor" id="line-62"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-63"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line891"><strong>Heightmap</strong> is used to call out the targa used as a surface for the shader. This is usually a black and white image where white is a positive change (up) and black is a negative change (down). The number after the path name is the degree in which you want the range to occur. <span class="anchor" id="line-64"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-65"></span></li><li class="gap">Because this is using addnormals you need to separate the files by using parentheses, you’ll need to open and close them like using a shader pass. Make sure you separate the heightmap line with a comma, then the number otherwise it won’t know to attach it to the previous path. <span class="anchor" id="line-66"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-67"></span></li><li class="gap">If you need to write a bumpmap without the height remove the height line and the parentheses. <span class="anchor" id="line-68"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-69"></span></li><li class="gap">The local map targa should always have an _local suffix, while the height map targa shouls have an _h suffix. <span class="anchor" id="line-70"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-71"></span></li></ol></li><li class="gap"><p class="line862">The <strong>Specularmap</strong> is a shortcut option that creates a rendering stage for the specular targa. This file adds reflectivity to the texture or model. This is a pretty sensitive file so they tend to be pretty dark. This line needs a path name to the file (.tga) being used. In this case (models/monsters/iron_maiden/base_s.tga) All specular targas should have an _s suffix. <span class="anchor" id="line-72"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-73"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line891"><strong>Extra passes</strong> also need opened and closed brackets. Why add an extra pass? Well if you want a glow pass, modulation or anything other than the base of the model, then you’ll need an extra pass. Remember, every extra pass is a hit to the processing speed. Some shaders don’t use the above render options, these are specialty textures used for various reasons. (fx, guis, glass, water, fire etc) <span class="anchor" id="line-74"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-75"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line891"><strong>Blend Add</strong> is a <strong>blending option</strong>. In this case blend add is short hand for blend GL_ONE, GL_ONE. This is an additive pass, and is the option for glow passes. This needs a path name to a targa file. <span class="anchor" id="line-76"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-77"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line891"><strong>Path name</strong> to the glow support targa. <span class="anchor" id="line-78"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-79"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line862">The <strong>Close Bracket</strong> ( } ) is used to close a shader pass. This close bracket closes the first extra pass, the glowing pass. <span class="anchor" id="line-80"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-81"></span></li><li class="gap"><p class="line862">Another <strong>Close Bracket</strong> ( }) This closes the shader out, and the game is happy. This close bracket is attached to the top Open Bracket. <span class="anchor" id="line-82"></span></li></ol><span class="anchor" id="bottom"></span></div><p id="pageinfo" class="info" lang="en" dir="ltr">ArtReference Q4Shaders Definitions (last edited 2005-11-04 21:36:57 by <span title="MattVainio @ 67.129.250.254[67.129.250.254]"><a class="nonexistent" href="./MattVainio.html" title="MattVainio @ 67.129.250.254[67.129.250.254]">MattVainio</a></span>)</p>
