Notarget Your going to have to do a search and try and find some older shaders. I recall "Creator of Zombies" made a lot
of weapon shaders some time ago. Nomad mod & Black Ice have several to play with. I see one called "weapon_spec_normal_alpha.fx"
in my Nomad mod effect folders. For the "self illumination" part it probably needs the illumination added to the alpha channel in the spec. texture? ( not sure

)
I haven't tested anything, I'll play with a few tonight and see.
Hopefully someone else who knows for sure will pop in and answer correctly.
Edit: I tried some of uzi idiots "physical based shaders" and they work really well for a "illuminated" effect on weapons.
You just have to adjust your textures some.
My games never have bugs. They just develop random features..
Lots and lots of random features...
