We are pretty much done with the first map for the Cardboard Tube Showdown MOD but the mapper (Tenken) and I really suck at anything that comes even close to coding. That includes shaders.

Here is a render of the map...

The finishing touches of this map includes a shader that we can't seem to make. We have tried using Q3ASE and have searched the net a lot but we just don't get it :(

If somebody can hep us with this that would be very very cool and ofcourse you will be credited for it.

This is what needs to happen:
- The big metal monster at the edge of the map has a red ball on the top of his head (see render image). The monster with ball is 1 static mesh/map object and the ball is a separate part within the mesh which uses it's own texture.
- This ball needs to glow red in a way that there is a red "haze" around the ball. Kind of like a light with a glow but without the actual light.

I hope that somebody can help us out with the actual shader text!

textures/omfg/redball
{
{
map $lightmap
}
{
map textures/omfg/redball
blendFunc GL_ZERO GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_COLOR
}
{
map textures/omfg/redball
blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
glow
tcGen environment
}
}

I think you can set the paths right yourself.

It's that "glow" line that is key. This creates what you see in-game when you look at a glowy shader.

One thing...some people's machines don't do dynamic glow. One thing you can try (GothiX probably could have bet you money that I would say this) is use a preexisting flare shader. Make a square, thin brush out of nodraw, and cover the two square opposite sides with a shader from the textures/flares set.

Thanks a lot for the help! :D

I have sent it on to our mapper who's gonna try it out.
