Shader question again

(th0rn3) #1

How can I make a texture that light will pass it through, but without making the texture transparent?

I would try to add an empty alpha channel to it. Then add alphashadows.

Do you mean 2 textures in a shader? You can delete the surfaceparm trans. Then you can make the background texture not transparant. The other textures on it will be transparant.

surfaceparm trans makes a texture go detail (independent of the editor structure/detail info)

Shader Bible says :smiley:

4.8.23 trans
Tells q3map that pre-computed visibility should not be blocked by this surface. Generally, any shaders that have blendfuncs should be marked as surfaceparm trans.

not really. I’ve used different blendfuncs in one shader without the surfaceparm trans and it worked perfect.
I think it’s surfaceparm noshadow

“surfaceparm noshadow” that sounds good wezelkrozum :slight_smile: That should be much more straight forward than my idea.
