yes

>and if it's the case how shall I use it?

copy the shader files (gpuPeteOGL2.* ) you want to use into the plugins/shaders/ directory (if it doesn*t exist, you have to create it). Linux alike the file/path names are case sensitive!

Ah, and if you don't want to use the default shader directory, you also can also specify your own in the .cfg file:

ShaderDir=(your special directory here)

Ah, and the "FullscreenShader" option has to be set in the .cfg file as well (you can set this option with the config window): "3" for custom .vp/.fp files, "5" for custom GLslang files.

Hum well I already tried those methodes but nothing append.
Perhaps the issue is somewhere else.
I'll try with others version who knows...
Or it's perhaps due to my GPU/divers.

Nevertheless Thank you very much for your reply

Question is: are the internal shader effects working?

If yes, then external ones (with proper shader files) also should work.

If no: well, you will need a "pixel shader 2" compatible gfx card to get shader effects, and of course your gfx card driver has to support them as well. I don't know if ATI is already supporting GLslang in the Linux drivers, but the current NV Linux drivers will run all kind of OGL2 shaders.

Well when I enable shaders it doesn't have any effect on the game but cause no crash so I don't know if Internal shader are suported.
My gfx card is a FX5700 and my drivers seem to by up to date.(1.0.8762)
