shader_transparent_chicago_extended

Transparent chicago extended shaders are essentially identical to shader_transparent_chicago, but have an additional 2-stage block used when video hardware does not support more than 2 maps in a shader (which can be simulated with arguments). There is no reason to use this shader type over shader_transparent_chicago on modern systems.

See shader_transparent_chicago for more documentation.
