Make engine load these in priority over .shader when r_lowShaders is enabled?

.shadlow would contain shaders with these rules:

- additive blending for all trails and smoke (a "rage" needs this)
- TWO STAGES MAXIMUM EVER
- avoid alpha blending, use ge128 whenever possible (fill rate!)

It would be intended for very poor integrated hardware.

I think Elite Force had this feature.

r_loadPCXoverride could be useful too, to load reduced palettized images instead of 24/32bit textures. Currently the only checks if a jpg is available if a tga isn't, and versa.  Just need to add PCX to that mix. PCX textures would also be half the resolution.

Heck I might code this tonight.

Nice idea ! +10 !
