What's the name of the console shaders?


(G0-Gerbil) #1

Am playing around modding ET for fun, and I want to change the console shader, but I dunno it’s name?
Had a search using ‘console’ but it just pulled up some font shaders.

Anyone got a clue what file / name it’s under?

Cheers :smiley:

console-16bit and console2-16bit in _unsorted.shader
My original attempts to replace them didn’t work, but I didn’t fiddle around with it much (ET/RtCW/Q3’s shader load order is really weird.)

Gracias, I’ll take a look there :slight_smile:

Yes, to replace them you’ll need to specify an EMPTY _unsorted.shader or another _unsorted.shader with your modifications.

I can’t recall exactly what loading behaviour is responsible for this, something to do with indexing from the base directory first and exclusively per shader name.

OK got it working, thanks guys :slight_smile:

The order of loading thing has been fun in the past. I remember when resurrection came out there were missing textures in it when helmsdeep was also on the server.
Of course, everyone (including rivrstyx, naughty boy ;)) blamed my map, but it was actually resurrection’s fault - it had 2 shaders of the same name. The correct one was loaded virtually all the time, but for some reason my map forced the shader loading to work in a different order and res pulled up the incorrect shader from it’s own shader file.

Very strange - and continues to show to me that I have a knack of creating maps that show up engine quirks but everyone ends up blaming me :slight_smile:
