Well Fiveboy I "borrow" from other games and search thouroughly the internet...google/image/blah textures..and go through alot of crap before I find something I like.
Some games use different file formats than simple jpegs ..they use dds files or worse so I have to get a program to read them, then cut them then I alter them slightly (hue ,saturation etc) then optomise for jpeg.
It is a pain but the end results is alot better than the bog standard ones in the stock moh series.
Seere.

i found some niiiiice testures on google images.... but i just took the jpeg (cuz it looked fine w/o cropping it) and converted it to targa (TGA), and there i had it.... heres a Q from me though.... i have some textures i got from a nice little map but i dont want so many pk3's taking up room in my main folder so i just took all the textures and put them in a pk3 i named custom_textures and i had a folder in it called "textures" and one called "scripts". i put the textures in "textures" under "dragon" and .shaders in "scripts" but when i go in the game and i shoot one of the metal textures, it makes the mark of a concrete (the standard for un-shadered textures)... is there a way to change this? do i have to put the .shaders in "scripts" > "dragon"?

[wacko]

with the textures lying in textures/dragon,
the shader file must be scripts/dragon.shader
and shaders for metal textures should look something like

Code: Select all

textures/dragon/texture1
{
	qer_keyword trim
	qer_keyword rusted
	qer_keyword metal
	surfaceParm metal
	{
		map textures/dragon/texture1.tga
		rgbGen identity
		depthWrite
	}
	{
		map $lightmap
		blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
		rgbGen identity
		depthFunc equal
	}
}

btw, standard opaque textures can easily be jpgs (much smaller)

... do i write .shaders like i write a script? just save it as a .shader?

[At0miC]

Yes just save it as *.SHADER ..

cool! thnx!
