How to create custom mark

This is not a tutorial how to make a custom mark, this is more like a few tips how to make your own custom mark. Creating custom materials is well documented in tutorials listed bellow.

• Source SDK wiki - Material Creation
• 3kliksphilip's video tutorial
• tophattwaffle's video tutorial

I will talk only about one shader I deem to be the best for marks and that is UnlitGeneric. With this shader you can create material with alpha canal, set opacity of the texture and change render colors.

Example:

"UnlitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "path/to/your/texture/file"
	"$translucent" "1" // Allows alpha canal for texture created in image editor
	"$vertexcolor" "1" // Allows changing render colors in downloads config
	"$vertexalpha" "1" // Allows changing alpha canal in downloads config
}

This material should allow you to use all arguments in [Mark] download prefix and also in MoreMarks config.

If you want your mark to be visible through walls. Use shader parameter $ignorez. The best use case for this would be as last mark in MoreMarks module.

Example:

"UnlitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "path/to/your/texture/file"
	"$translucent" "1" // Allows alpha canal for texture created in image editor
	"$vertexcolor" "1" // Allows changing render colors in downloads config
	"$vertexalpha" "1" // Allows changing alpha canal in downloads config
	"$ignorez"     "1" // Makes mark visible through walls
}
