v_weapon shader not working

Hello Ghost_fang,

some month ago, this was a big subject over at quakeone.com.

I made a downloadeable version of what you intend to do:
http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-mod-re ... ing-2.html
Please read the linked post and find the download a little deeper on that page.

You will find the shader + textures inside the zip file.
I hope it will help you a little bit.

There are very nice tutorial sites available for shaders.
The one at dpwiki will explain the dp-specific shaders:

The one from nexuizninjaz for standard Q3 shaders (be aware that not all of them work in DP):

Regarding your attempt to use dp_reflect on models:
This does not work at the moment in DP.
You can use dp_reflect/dp_refract on world textures just fine, but not on model textures:
Nahuel even made an amazing mirror, using dp_reflect on meshes:

For models (just like the weapon for example) you need to use dpreflectcube shader to get the visual you want.
This shader does not reflect the real world around you. But it will give you a quite similar effect, using a cubemap.
This is a WIP clip I made:

You will find many downloads in the above linked thread (see also post #1) with nice ideas and realization of shaders in DarkPlaces.
That thread was really fun to participate. It brought many nice things to live.
In the end, webangle made a compilation thread with a major release:

Have fun, playing around with shaders.
Kind regards,
Seven

never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever use dp_reflect shaders on models

yes, why? I also would like to know what could happen? It won't work?It has performance issues? There any chances it will be implemented?

[leileilol]

yeah and it'll double the stupid when you leave a water reflection area since suddenly the gun will stop shining

I'll just recycle this topic for a related question: Is there a way to make the dpreflectcube change for each map? So the cubemap is accurate in relation to the map its projecting?
