[High On Pain]

ok first of all how do you apply like an energy shader to a weap like i'v seen some of the mods ppl post on this site thay well have like a plasma rifle thats just looks like its made of energy like whats insade the invis power up i tryed going to the shader tags and going down to the weap i want and swap dependencies but i dont know witch one to swap or what to swap it with i tryed swap stuff allready but it ether freeze's when i walk near it or it doesnt work at all....

and my second Q is is there anyway to edit shaders or there colors or do you just have to find cool looking shaders in Sp to swop ??

1st question: Open the dependency swapper of your favorite modding program. (Assuming it has a Dependency swapper) Once it's open, navigate to the dependencies of the mod2 file of the weapon you want to change shaders of. Change the shader file (usually soso) to a schi or scex, and then find any of the transparent shaders in those two categories.

Sorry if it's off, but I don't know how Dependency Swappers work on Windows. Anyone mind confirming this or helping me out here?

Swappin shaders is just like swappin projectiles. You could even go the the [shad] tag and manually overwrite the meta's.
