.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Everyones tuturials say you need to make a shader file, or script for your custom texture, but ive been able to add them to my map without it. All ive done is clicked the "show non-shader texture" button. I believe it was in preferences. So i dont understand. Why does all these tutorials say you need a shader file?

Otherwise you won't see bullet impact effects when you shoot at the texture.

You dont "need" one but you will want one for the reason jv stated. Helps with realism issues in a map.
