# UE3 Shader Cache Patcher
Patches UE3 cooked script packages so that their shader caches
are automatically loaded in game. Tested with Rising Storm 2: Vietnam
and Killing Floor 2.
## Use Case
Anyone who has tried using custom master materials in UnrealScript mods for
Rising Storm 2 or Killing Floor 2 (and perhaps other UE3 games) has seen this
dreaded message after loading the cooked mod in game.
```
[0037.39] ScriptLog: Mutators shaderloader.shaderloadermutator
[0037.39] Log: Missing cached shader map for material M_VN_MASTER_PBR_copy, compiling.
[0037.39] Log: Can't compile M_VN_MASTER_PBR_copy with seekfree loading path on console, will attempt to use default material instead
[0037.39] Warning: Warning, Failed to compile Material M_SLM_Test.Materials.M_VN_MASTER_PBR_copy for platform PC-D3D-SM5, Default Material will be used in game.
[0037.39] Warning: Warning, Failed to compile Material Instance M_SLM_Test.Materials.M_CustomTest_INST with Base M_VN_MASTER_PBR_copy for platform PC-D3D-SM5, Default Material will be used in game.
```
After patching the cooked script package (ShaderLoader.u in this case), the
custom materials work in game!
```
[0043.63] ScriptLog: Mutators shaderloader.shaderloadermutator
[0043.63] DevShaders: ... Loaded 230 shaders (0 legacy, 230 redundant)
[0043.63] DevShaders: Shader cache for shaderloader contains 2 materials (0 redundant)
