Unable to find default tag file [directory/path]/shadertags.xml. No tag support

GTK Radiant 1.5 has a common problem that's thankfully relatively easy to fix. On starting up the editor a quick look at the console will reveal the following error message in red letters;

Unable to find default tag file [drive://directory/path]/shadertags.xml. No tag support

Assuming the error isn't popping up as part of the wglMakeCurrent error, do the following;

  • Go to the"Plugins" menu
  • And select "ShaderPlug >> Create tag file".

This will create the missing shadertag.xml file in your 'user' folder (C://Users/ for Windows Vista) and tell you to reboot. On doing so the error message will now be gone.
