Looks like someone is putting these shaders for their proper use. Good work.

If You have got MP 38 just study Bond's texture files and discover
how it works (file _D.dds, _D2_dds and _I.dds with gray or gray with color tint or color texture). specular texture must be more sharpen and contrast or even semi-color.
By the way I have question to Bond1.
What colors like each other (gold ornament on red wall
U have with tint green I notice, but another colors)?

Best

Open up the FPE file of the segment and put the path to the shader into the lines, which say "effect=".

For example: "effect0 = effectbank\metro theater\segments\lightmapped\wall.fx"

You need at least two other maps of your textures, to make this work!
For the "wall.fx" shader you need an alternative texture map (_D2) and an illuminationmap (_I)!

Have fun!

Best,
TheK

Yes very good, just how they should be used - to bring out additional detail rather than just brightening up the whole thing. mAcpo's "Shadow People" game makes good use of them too.

Hmm, this just makes me want to buy it even more some time.. It makes everything look a lot more fancy and somewhat like the Source engine. Besides I'm getting tired of the darn flat boring walls. Now to just get my darn paycheck sorted out.

Just to be clear to avoid any confustion ,the _I texture is a specular map, not an illumination map.

For metals (gold, copper, brass), the specular should be close to the same color as the diffuse. I used a greenish tint to make it appear slightly tarnished.

Also try using colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel will make the specular become desaturated, good for making things look "old".

It depends on the surface though...I usually end up doing quite a bit of trial and error until I get the effect I want.

I use it from time to time, but usually end up doing things mostly in photoshop.

@bond1

Has the new model pack 22 shader been released yet?

Will this be an extra for that pack or will I have to download the whole pack again?

I'll have it ready sometime this weekend for sure.

I'll advise TGC to put it as a separate download, no sense in having to download the whole pack again.

Actually, it will be included in the forthcoming 1.17 update for FPSC. Along with a lot of other exciting things. If you must have it before the new update, send me an email.
