I will use this in my new weapons...

Does this work with other models, or just with weapons?

Thanks for the comments guys!
This shader only works on weapons, but it works on all EAI weapons and MP5 and 6 weapons

So, this works with MP6 weapons? Normally when shader is applied to these weapons, hands will be black. But this does not have that problem? Nice.

You are best.


Yes, it really works! Only bad thing is, that it makes hands very bumpy.. It does not look realistic.

Quote: "cubemap"

A cubemap (For FPSC) is 6 of the images tiled up in a row. I chose not to include a cube map because they provide minimal effect. If you wanted to make one however, ATI have a useful app called "cubemapgen".

Check it out

Cubemap is like...well, a skybox put on to a model... If that puts it into any perspective.

Love the shader, btw CoZ!

Ahhh, I have an issue with the shader. It still doesn't work on MP6 hands...

Wait, the cubemap is of the environment. To reflect on the gun?

Yeh, it maps an image onto the model in a way that makes it looks like a reflection...

Some engines use a camera and pass that image to the cubemap shader...

Nice!
CoZ, could you please post a simple cubemap, just so I can see how you map it for this shader? Or is it the same for all cubemaps?

And does it actually work in FPSC?

Use this shader, it's a slightly edited version of CubeEnt that I made, it'll make the model fully opaque...

@CoffeeGrunt: You are aware that these shaders are for EAI's weapons only. If you guys had wanted a version for MP5 and 6 weapons, you should of stated before (although i dont know why you wouldnt use errants weapons). And CG, I hate the cube reflection on the guns in FPSC, thats why I toned it down in my shader. It makes EAI's weapons look alot more realistic. Ill post some more updates when I get home this saturday.

You mean we are not allowed to use the shader on other weapons or that they are optimized for other weapons?

I don't have the money to buy Errant's weapons right now...

I think my cube reflection is too intense, and it only really works well if there was a camera feeding the local environment to the shader as the cubemap...

CoZ, I found out that the Wood Colouring shader from the Ultimate Shader Pack works quite well on static entities, no lightmap glitches. However, I can't use it because it overlays everything with a really rubbish looking wood texture. Is there any way to change the overlayed texture to the D2.dds? It has a nice specular lighting effect that I wanted to use...

Is it possible to tone down how shiny the weapon becomes? Great shader BTW, popped it right into DBPro without any problems (although I still need to develop a system to actually handle providing the light information).

Awesome, can you see about the shader I posted about a few days ago? The Wood Colouring one? Since it works very nicely on static entities, it should be able to be changed so we could have a static entity specular effect...

Okay, find gunspec.txt for teh weapon you want to apply the shader to and find this line
Quote: "effect = effectbank\BumpCubeReflectAlpha\BumpCubeReflectAlpha.fx"


and replace it with:
Quote: "effect = effectbank\Errant Weapon Shader.fx"


hope that helps

...speaking of EA, does anyone know how to do those different kind of attacks with the normal gloved fists? (block, uppercut, jab, etc.) I hope this isn't off topic

It actually works quite well with mp6 hands, just requires tweaking of the shader file in notepad.

To make it less shiny, simply search for the following:
SurfColor*2

and change it to

SurfColor*1

That should make it less shiny, although id experiment with values between 1 and 2.

I've noticed it will work with the stock ones if you simply change the two tex reference in the shader from _D to _D2. I guess that would be obvious to you, but it would explain to others why it wouldn't work with mp6.

Screenie of it applied to my own wep with mp6 hands:

If you like, I could simply upload my modified version.

Yeah, although the shader was developed for EAI's weapons only, but I obviously forgot to change SurfColor (I obviously hadnt had enough coffee)

Feel free to upload the modifyed SurfColor version.

I think the reason why it doesn't work is that you need to create a spec map texture for the gun. You can do this simply by opening the base texture and desaturating it.

Regardless, I attached the modified shader:

Ok, I found out what the problem is.

Since I was fiddling around with the weapons in fragmotion anyway, I didn't realise the original models wouldn't work. When I import the X files (say the G3), reassign materials, the export, it does work.

I'm not sure of the specific fix here, although im looking into it. I probably wouldn't be allowed to just upload the fixed mp6 files.
