What is a shader?
Shaders are short text scripts that define the properties of a surface as it appears and functions in a game world or radiant.
By convention, the documents that contain these scripts usually has the same name as the texture set which contains the textures being modified (e.g; ut4_mymap, bobsmap, castle, etc,). Several specific script documents have also been created to handle special cases, like liquids, sky and special effects.
These are called the common shaders. Their definition comes from a textfile, normally found in your mapping/scripts folder called common.shader.
The bitmap images for common shaders can be found in the common-sprog.pk3.
