Does anyone know how to tell Radiant that a texture is a clip texture?

I'm creating a map for quake2world atm and they're using a custom clip texture. It works fine in-game, but I can't use View-Filter->Clips in Radiant, which is pretty annoying (clips are not filtered when I use it).

I've had a look at the file in radiant/games/q2.game and it's got the following lines (the one for q2w looks the same, at least for those lines):

Code: Select all

...
cont7="mist"
cont17="playerclip"
cont18="monsterclip"
cont19="current_0"
...

Looks like it has something to do with it, but I don't understand what to do. Ideas, anyone?

I'm using the latest Radiant 1.5 from svn on linux/x86, downloaded & compiled 2 days ago.

AFAIK, Radiant just parses the name of the shader. For instance, skip won't be filtered with hints, but if you rename it hintskip, it will.

Hm, the texture is already named common/clip.

(Note that this is q2 and that the default clip texture is e1u1/clip or something like that.)

I solved this by creating a shaderlist.txt and common.shader in $datadir/default/scripts.
I also added the following to q2w.game, it tells radiant where it can find the shader scripts:

Code: Select all

shaderpath="scripts"

I've tried this with gtkradiant 1.5 and it resolves the clip issue. As a bonus,
I added semi-transparency to common/clip, common/hint and common/trigger.

The relevant changes are in quake2world SVN

Thanks for the enlightenment Ingar--you kick ass!

It's not often that we get a Q2-related question on here...
