I am trying to familiarize myself with the Skyrim effect shaders. I've used them in the past with other games (FO3) but the Skyrim version appears to be acting differently than I am used to. At this point, I just want to get a basic solid green effect shader.

(Note: The image shows a persistent alpha ration of 8, that was a typo. It is officially 1.000)

According to the CK wiki,

The Texture entry implies that if I don't use a specific texture, I can use a solid color - which is what I did. Yet the Color Key entry states that if no texture is specified, the color keys are ignored. This seems a contradiction, because without the use of the color keys, you can't specify the solid color(s) to use in place of the texture.

In the end, absolutely no effect appears in game. I know that my setup is working however, because I can replace my shader with a vanilla one and those work perfectly.

How can I get a simple alpha green effect to appear without a texture? I see other effects that don't use textures, so it must be possible.

Thanks in advance.
