if you buy the metro theatre you will get the shader 2.0.

Before you go buying Model Pack 38, thinking you can run it, you need to know you don't just get Shader 2.0 with the pack, that's not how it works at all. Shader 2.0 is the shader technology in your video graphics card for your computer. Shader 2.0 is advanced and comes with newer, more expensive and powerful video cards. Model Pack 38 just simply has shaders that utilize Shader 2.0 technology in these better graphics cards (although it's not really "simple", there was tremendous work put into it by bond1 to get those shaders created).

Anyways, if you're unsure whether you're video card can handle the pack (which you really should check before purchasing it), you should hop on over to the official thread for the pack here and look. It's been discussed throughout the different posts in that thread, what kind of video card is required to run the pack smoothly, or even at a bare minimum. If you still aren't sure, I'd post on there asking bond1 or email him specifically with your system specs and type of card.

Cheers

Life would be much easier if I had the source code.

you can test if your computer can handle it by try the multiplayer metro theatre game. you will also see a couple of eai's weapons in it too!

Every graphics card since 2005 will be capable of Shader Model 2.0

The only problem is with some integrated graphics chips, like on some laptops or built into the motherboard. If you have a dedicated graphics card you will be fine.

That's a low end integrated graphics accelerator built into your motherboard, it probably will NOT run The Metro Theater. You really need dedicated graphics hardware.

For info,
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100 integrated graphics on my laptop runs these shaders fine, even supports shader model 3.0
This card just scrapes through, but for building/testing it does the job.

Actually cant say for certain, but if its a series7 I dont see why not, theres a level for download in the wip section I think, why not test that.
I think you will be able to run these shaders, but for a game your cpu would be well overloaded, especially with fullscreen shaders.
It might be ok for test/build.

I beleive that is incorrect; SM 2.0 was introduced around 2002 and SM3 was introduced in 2004 with the launch of Far Cry.
