Why Is There A grass Shader In My Map?

[scout1337]

OK.....

so i went to build i simple map tiny box with some hills put my base inside to test it out...

bitmaps compiled fine but the structure says my grass texture (custom texture) its a TIFF and it went on fine and i get this as if it wants it to be a shader :|

You don't have a shader for your grass material you made, that's the problem.

what do u mean? i just went to google found a grass texture 512 by 512 then saved it as a TIFF.....

why do i need a shader?

[Bastinka]

A shader tells the halo engine how to display the texture, or something like that, don't quite know for sure it basically just tells the engine if it's reflective, shiny, if it has a bumpmap and what the bumpmap is etc.

A shader is what gives the game the required info to display the texture you have, with the possibility of other effects along with it. You need to make a .shader_environment with the grass texture in the diffuse slot in it.

OHHH i get it sooooo

the textures that came with halo already have the grass ETC stuffs inside it? so if i were to take an ICE texture from halo then put it on it already has the thingy to make it slide?

well w/e even if thats wrong i know what to do now ty guys

Could you please clarify what you're trying to say?

It's hard to understand the direct point you are trying to state, grammatic wise and just plain out the way you stated it.
