Shader Editor

(system) #1

Hi,

does someone of you know an shader editor for linux?
I tried to run q3ase and ShaderEd2 with wine but without luck (q3ase’s menu is not clickable and ShaderEd2 gives me a bunch of errors).

What i am searching for is a shader editor with the possibility to check the results in a screen, like q3ase.
Would be cool if someone has a idea :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:
Dutchman.

Oh is there a site with shader examples? (Besides the one in the pak0 offcourse).

Hmmm maybe you can try running with Reactos…

Or you buy Windows XP :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok i got q3ase running with WINE. So, it is solved :slight_smile:

Nah Scennative, i prefer Linux. I had Windows for a long time and i was getting sick of it getting slower.
But thanks for the ReactOS tip, looks interesting…but probablz has an registry just like windows…

If you run et in unpure mode, you can vid_restart it, to reload shaders. Q3ase does not show same as the shader does in ET - well at least partially.
scratches head not sure if this was only in Openarena the case (the vid_restart).

Hi Ailmanki,

sorry, i am just starting with all this. A little bit of mapping and atm. i try to add “sparkles” to the magic wand - it’s a replacement for the knife (xmas pack). So i thought i could add some sparkles to the magic wand when i add a shader to the md3 but its harder than i thought cause i am really a beginner with this kinda stuff.

The way i try is to build a pk3 with the shader and the knife replacement and just run a demo where i use a knife to check if it is working (the sparkling - offcourse it did not work :slight_smile:

And tbh. i don’t know exactly what you mean. I know the vid_restart command but i am not sure what you exactly mean how to do it.
Maybe i am totally doing it wrong :confused:

the idea is to use the game itself for previewing shaders.
Use
et.x86 +set sv_pure 0 +devmap mirror

This should start et in unpure mode, so it will afaik ignore the pk3’s, and load the files in etmain as if they where in a pk3 structure. Now I am not sure, but I thought ET will reload the shaders from the filesystem, when vid_restart is issued, so testing would be a matter of vid_restartingt.
Oh and if you do
in_mouse 0;in_restart
ET will ignore your mouse, so the vid_restart won’t capture your mouse each time.
Now I only wonder if it will reload the shaders from filesystem… lol, else all this is info kinda useless.
+set fs_game does work also…

Aw ok i will try that out tomorrow, would be sweet if it was that simple.
Thanks, i will get back when i test it.
