Well i don't need them in a lvl file.In Battlebelk's Core lvl tool in the munged folder all the shaders are .shader I checked the BF1 mod tool and the BF2 too and their shaders are .xml (i think they are unmunged version) And here is the main problem.How he munged this .xml files into .shader files?If someone know how please comment.I know its possible cuz one guy here (i think it was CreatorOfThings) did that in his mod.He make some changes to the shaders and everything in hismod look more different.

The munged xml files (.shader) are found in _BUILD\Common\munged\PC

I've never messed with the shader files in this game, but if you look in core-japanese.req it lists all the shaders, these would be the *.xml files in data_ABC\Common\shaders\PC. Maybe add this portion to your core.req, edit the shader files then munge.

What exactly are shaders anyway, if I dare to ask.

Shaders are programms that are run on the VGA. Basicly to make it short, they determine how the game is lookin. They collect informations about light 3D position data, textures, normals usw and proceed them
