I wanted the dome in my temple to be translucent and light emmiting. This is done in the flare shaders, so I used those.

flare shader:
Code: 
textures/flares/flare_white
{
	surfaceparm	nonsolid
	surfaceparm	trans
	q3map_nolightmap
	deformvertexes	autoSprite	
    {
        map textures/flares/flare_white
        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
    }
}


alas I changed the directories so it pointed to my texture, like this:

Code: 
textures/egyptsoc_sfx/glassinlead
{
	surfaceparm	nonsolid
	surfaceparm	trans
	q3map_nolightmap
	deformvertexes	autoSprite	
    {
        map textures/egyptsoc_sfx/glassinlead
        blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
    }
}


(In a different shader file)

But now when I look at the surfaces in-game the game (JO) goes back to menu and gives the
following error:

You aren't using a JPG file, are you?

And besides, I don't see the use of an autoSprite function on this...

converting the texture to targa format doesn't seem to help either.

OK, here comes your new shader file, after you've added the alpha channel [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

Code: 
textures/egyptsoc_sfx/glassinlead
{
	qer_editorimage  textures/egyptsoc_sfx/glassinlead
      q3map_material	HollowMetal
    {
        map $lightmap
    }
    {
        map textures/egyptsoc_sfx/glassinlead
        blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
    }
}

Well, like I said that didn't work, but I found out what the problem with it is.
It just can't have a lightmap, without it, it works fine.

JED's flag system worked sooo much better than this shader crap... Now I got to write a script for nearly every surface in the game, instead of clicking a checkbox or 2 [http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif] , dreadful and annoying...

Eh, you wouldn't use a lightmap stage for a flare, it doesn't need to get lightmapped. Especially because autosprites can't be lightmapped anyway.

Vedder, shaders are great, but what you need is a good, visual editor that integrates with the level editor.

Yeah, much like JED's flags, but better. Since shaders cover a lot more options.

Not really sure. Try printscreen for the time being. Or screenshot_tga.

nevermind, it already works again, though I changed nothing so I wonder what it was...
