Layer Chams ?

[DragonHunter]

Ok so... i've seen lots of chams in hacks for multiplayer etc but most of the time they just replace the texture by ther own like Red/Blue or whatever u choose
Is there a way to change the texture but not completely like in the images ?
I would love to know how to do this in C++ ^^

Normal chams

what you have to do to get this effect,
is create a shader that offsets a bit from the original texture, and that is transparent.
first allow the game to draw it's own object, then also add the somewhat bigger copy of it.

in q3- based games this is fairly easy with an engine shader:

_lm_shell
{
    deformVertexes wave 30 sin 3 0 0 0
    {
        blendfunc blend
        rgbgen entity
        alphagen const 0.17
        map $whiteimage
    }
}

sounds easy if you say it that way, but i've never been doing shaders in D3D so i really don't know how to do that
