Can you send me please an example how to substitute a shader.

textures/se_gothic/rune_black_flat_nonsolid
{
qer_editorimage textures/gothic_light/pentagram_light1.tga
q3map_surfacelight 5000
q3map_flare flareshader
surfaceparm nomarks
{
map $lightmap
rgbgen identity
}
{
map textures/gothic_light/pentagram_light1.tga
blendfunc gl_dst_color gl_zero
rgbgen identity
}
{
map textures/gothic_light/pentagram_light1_blend.tga
blendfunc gl_one gl_one
rgbgen wave sin .8 .2 0 1
}
}

I have fixed your shader, so, it might have looked like this.
Then open common.shader at your <Q3A PATH>\baseq3\pak0.pk3/scripts
find textures/common/caulk

and you will see the whole shader:

textures/common/caulk
{
surfaceparm nodraw
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm nomarks
}

So, you should make something like this:

textures/se_gothic/rune_black_flat_nonsolid // your shader's head
{
surfaceparm nodraw // a new body of your shader

surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm nomarks
}

To avoid possible conflicts with other versions of this shader that other users can have, you'd better to change its head (name) in your *.bsp, for example:

instead of textures/se_gothic/rune_black_flat_nonsolid

you can write textures/se_gothic/rune_black_flat_12345678

and, thus, you should change your shader's head too:

textures/se_gothic/rune_black_flat_12345678 // your newest shader's head
{
surfaceparm nodraw // a new body of your shader

surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm nomarks
}

you can. but the performance is horrible. think of the overdraw..

edit: generally each time you render a translucent object (pixel), the objects behind it get exponentially more expensive to render. So lots of translucent walls is not normally a good thing, even in modern games you don't see it because its crazy expensive.

I'm looking for the QL map The Edge.

I can't see it in the E+ database.

Is it about somewhere?

Hi!

I have that one already but I am not a fan of the textures. Its just too dark. I like the QL version.

I converted all the QL maps (made till some date) and exposed them to download. In some days I'll have an opportunity to send you the map.
