Hi.
I've got some .SHADER files in one of my PC games that I'd like to edit (modding is officially supported), but I'm afraid I don't have any programs capable of editing it. Could somebody post a link to a site where you can download a .SHADER file editor?

Shaders are plaintext, you can edit them with any text editor such as Notepad++

I know Unity3D uses .shader files so if the game uses that engine you can edit it using Unity's editor: http://unity3d.com/

If it's not Unity you might have to look around to figure out the format. Games quite often use non-standard file extensions so you might have to do some digging to figure it out.

I've just done that, turned out that it was good enough for how I had wanted to mod the shader.
Thanks.
