Can I force clients to have shaders on?

[Gen. Hothauser]

I remember this Easter egg, that if direct light/ambient light/the third lighting option in the environment settings is set lighter than the other two, a player with shaders on will have an easier job seeing than people with no shaders.  I used this technique on that old hide n seek server from a year ago, because the host had the settings set perfectly.  I wish I could remember what lighting settings were in effect.  I think it was direct light being brightest, but not sure.  This would be an incentive for people to use shaders instead of no shaders.

could possibly create some room players spawn in which has a secret entrance that can only be seen with shaders on

1. Turn shaders on
2. Go through entrance
3. Turn shaders off
4. Cheat
5. ???
6. Profit

Most games that require shaders probably would because you want the ability to hide in shadows, if it's actually easier to see with shaders on then that pretty much defeats the purpose

I like this idea and support :)

package forceshader
{
    function gameconnection::OnClientEnterGame(%this,%obj,%a,%b,%c,%d,%e)
       {
          if(%client.OPT_ShaderQuality1= 1)
            {
                %client.delete("Required minimum shader");
            }
          Parent::OnClientEnterGame(%this,%a,%b,%c,%d,%e);
       }
};
activatePackage(forceshader);

This is an example script.
Script_ForceShader

If player want turn off the shader then kick out automatically.

OPT_ShaderQuality1 is minimum

OPT_ShaderQuality6 is max

What? OPT_ShaderQualityX doesn't exist.
.. unless you're requesting it.

In that case, wouldn't it be much simpler just to have a %client.shaderLevel which is an int from 0 to 5?

it probably had the shadow color set to something bright

Yes, it is exist. It was made by Plexious. I had it while ago. I read his script. but he lock his add-ons, If you want his add-on, he will give to you. If not I can give to you.

If 0 is disable or off shader, that why I perfer put in 1 as minimum and I want request make this force use minimum shader for my server. If you can make one then good luck.

Who gives a stuff about little kids playing on toasters?

$800 toaster that can't run shaders. :c

That add-on has nothing to do with your post.

What? I'm on a ~$600 build and I can run shaders on Max easily. Averages at various brickcounts:

0 bricks: ~270 FPS
150k bricks: ~200+ FPS
600k bricks: ~32 FPS

A good chunk of the community can't use them. (me included)

Well then, I guess you are an "little kid"..
