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

[kat]

GtkRadiant 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;

Code Select Expand

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.
