Make sure you have all the textures needed for the shader.
Then open up the segment's .FPS file and put the directory of the shader in the 'effect:' line.

Uzi idiot: Don't you mean the .FPI file? I may be wrong, but i thought to edit segments and entities you open there .FPI files?

.fpi are scripts, .fpe are entities and .fps are segments

@fpsc x9 you could use the "effectbank\ps_2_0\bumpent.fx" shader for that and, like uzi idiot said, make sure you have all the textures that the shader needs

I have similar problems. Could not find a proper help for creating shaders for fpsc.

Hello FPSC X9

I do not want to disappoint you, I may be wrong but in this moment no stock effect shader in FPSC is able to producing in walls or floors segments the effect seen in the video link posted by you.

What else will come near will be the effect wall_spec_ill.fx for walls and floor_spec_ill.fx for floors segments, however, everything will turn into a white mess destroying fully your textures. Furthermore the effect wall_spec_ill.fx is acceptable for indoor scenes, though in outdoor scenes at night that effect (wall_spec_ill.fx) will fail severely because the external walls will look like glowing Christmas tree lit at night.

Also, not all materials are shiny, some shine so much as chrome and stainless steel polished, others do not shine quite as concrete or old wood and so on.

Of course , a visually attractive game is fantastic, very helpful and using shaders effect, certainly be useful as well, but this is not a guarantee for a game to be successful. For example, No One Lives Forever winner of the game of the year award and it had not awesome shader effects at all.

Maybe if there was a way to convert NVidia's shaders library to FPSC effects shaders, is likely that the effect seen in the video mentioned earlier by you became true in FPSC. I think so!

All the best.

The shaders in the video looks like the standard ones (wall_spec_ill and floor_spec_ill.) They produce specular reflection only, but with a good specular map, you can achieve really good results.

So, contrary to what Northern seems to be claiming, you can achieve results such as the ones in the video. There's also another segment shader (pixel shader 3 as opposed to the standard ps 2 one included with the most recent FPSC updates) made by bond1, that supports both normal maps and specular maps.

Whichever result you want to achieve, you will need the respective texture maps required for them to work properly.
