Not really what topic implies but I was wondering how you go about setting up a new shader for a stock model that doesn't effect other maps in game. An example would be changing the color of a texture in a model but having the effect only take place in the map you are making. I have the color change part down but do not know how to isolate it just to my map.

From the entities menu with
Quake 3 Extras installed:
_remap : Used to remap textures/shaders in the model. To remap all shaders to a given shader, use "*;models/mymodel/mytexture". To remap a specific shader, use "models/mymodel/old;models/mymodel/new".

Do you place the new shader file in your scripts folder for the map? Also would you place the new texture in the model folder or in a new directory?

Doesn't really matter as long as you aren't overwriting anything, but for organization it's probably best as follows:
Code: Select all
yourmap.pk3
/models
/mymodel
mymodeltexture.tga
/scripts
mymap.shader
mymodels.shader
And the optional shader script in mymodels.shader should read:
Code: Select all
models/mymodel/mymodeltexture
{
[shader stuff]
{
map models/mymodel/mymodeltexture.tga
rgbGen vertex
}
}
