Shader Questions...

Post by a mammoth »

1st question about shaders, how do you ajust the tiling of the bitmap/detail map?
2nd Question, How do you swap shaders in the BSP, without overwriting metas. (I tired to swap dependcies in the sbsp tag with no luck :( )

if the bitmaps r the same size and type you could just extract them and then insert them over the bitmap you want to modify but thats all i can think of.

shinyness can be changed with a value, there is also a value in the shader that effects how it gets tiled but i have yet to get proper labels for it so i havent updated the ifp yet.

just go to the forum's incomplete IFP section and copy and paste the content of the shad ifp into your current shad ifp.
