lay the texture over the vertex colors and terrain meshes and LEGO items ignore its alpha, so their textures' alpha
channels (often gloss or leftover masks) don't punch holes in them.
**Game shaders.** Scenery, sky and flairs are drawn with ports of the client's shaders (`res/shaders/*.fx`) to WebGL
(`static/js/game-shaders.js`), one program per technique family and variant, shared by every mesh that uses it. Which
technique a shader (mapShaders `gameValue`) uses is one table, `NifFile::TechniqueFor` (dCommon); the manifests carry
it as `techniques` (gameValue -> family, eShaderLook bits, texture alpha, eTechniqueFlag bits). A gameValue the
table lacks is drawn as LEGO, as the client falls back to it. The math runs on sRGB values as Direct3D 9 did, with the
zone's sun, ambient, upper hemisphere and specular colors from the scene files, blended as the camera moves between
scenes.
| Family | gameValues | Drawn as |
| --- | --- | --- |
| LEGO (LEGOPPLighting) | 4, 5, 12, 14, 19, 20, 22, 25-31, 48, 50, 53, 72, 88, 92 | hemisphere lit sun + ambient, fresnel rim, N.H^320 specular, default reflection cube x0.05; texture over vertex colors by its alpha (decal) or times them (Item, Masked NonDecal, FaceCreate); Emissive/SuperEmissive (vertex alpha x emissive red), Glow, Grayscale, NoAmbient, AnimUV |
| Basic (BasicShaders, AlphaAsAlpha) | 7-11, 13, 15-18, 23, 24, 32-39, 49, 52, 54-65, 68, 70, 73, 80-87, 91, 93, 94, 105-108 | sun x N.L + ambient per vertex (or unlit) x vertex color x texture; AlphaAsAlpha both sides; AlphaBlend without depth writes, AlphaTest cut out, Additive; material alpha for the AnimAlpha ones; two layer blends and adds |
| Metal (Metallic.fx) | 98, 99, 100 | 0.7 N.L^4 + 0.3, plus the client's metal cube (polished or brushed, with the brushed noise in object space) tinted by the vertex color, specular |
| Clear Plastic | 6 | default reflection cube, fresnel of the lit grey, tight highlight; see-through facing the eye |
| Ocean (Distortion) | 69, 89, 90, 95, 101 | three texture layers, each warped by the one before, lit (or unlit x2, or FX with the emissive alpha window) |
| Flat Surf | 78 | texture lit, alpha from a second lookup |
| BrickWater | 51 | hemisphere lit vertex color, fresnel, specular |
| Darkling | 75-77, 102-104 | dark texture on the second UV set over the base look by a window of vertex alphas (material emissive r/g/b); Specular uses LEGO lighting, Structure multiplies |
| Terrain meshes | 2, 3, 97 | texture x vertex color x (sun x N.L + ambient); Rim Light adds a rim; Diffuse Map Only doubles the texture |
| Flairs (Flair.fx) | the flair manifest | (0.85 sun + ambient) x tint |
| Sky (Skydome.fx) | the scene's sky | texture x vertex color, unlit, moving by its texture transform |
| Not drawn | 21, 71, 74, 79, 96 | model footprints, post-processing, drop shadows, Undefined |
| Fixed function | -1 | sun x N.L + ambient with the material color and NiVertexColorProperty |
Moving textures (the AnimUV, ScrollingUV and Distortion shaders, the sky) scroll as the .nif's texture transform
controllers say. Fog (Layers, off by default: the views look from further out than the game's camera) mixes in the
zone's fog color from its near to far distance, terrain included. Approximated or left out: shadows, the LEGO parallax
and normal maps (BrickWater), Ocean's layer motion (the client moves its layers by timers of its own), the shiny glint
(a band moving up the object), Reveal and FadeUp masks (drawn fully shown), Glow's color (the shader's default cyan),
Powerups, Orb, TV Screen and Head Icon effects (drawn as LEGO or unlit), Flair's distance fade and movement. The
client's environment textures come from `/api/scenery/env/:name` (`reflection`, `polished`, `brushed`,
`brushedNoise`). Placed player models are drawn by the viewer's own lighting.
Converting a model the caches don't have yet (a big "glom" file takes a moment) happens on a few worker threads, so
the dashboard keeps answering everything else meanwhile: the route hands the request to a worker (`Web::Defer`) and
the web thread sends the answer when it is ready. Flairs and small models (up to 256 KB) go first, and one of the
