Category:Shader parameters

This category lists top-level parameters available in the "Generic" shaders.

• Parameters for specialised shaders are documented in the shaders' articles themselves.
• Parameters for configuring a single effect are (generally) grouped into a single article. Try searching for a parameter if you can't find it listed.

See Material Flags for $flags and $flags2 parameter enumerations.

See Material Map Compile Flags for the list of special %compile parameters which change the vbsp compile behavior of materials.

The list is far from complete. see the category talk page for a list of those still to be documented. Any insights will be warmly welcomed!
