Loading a material with a script

[blackrack]

Hello, I'm trying to load a material with a script file using Resources.load. My code is as follows:

Material m_skyMaterial = Resources.Load ("Materials/Atmo/Sky.mat") as Material;

However, my material is always null. What am I doing wrong?

Alright so I looked around, and apparently it can't be done directly and I need to go through a shader loader first.

I put the following code together from rbray's work and nlight's work but it still doesn't work

		public static Shader GetShader()
		{
			Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
			StreamReader shaderStreamReader = new StreamReader(assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(KSPUtil.ApplicationRootPath+"/Sky.shader"));
			String shaderTxt = shaderStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
			return new Material(shaderTxt).shader;
		}

I tried every filename and path combination and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated at this point.

If anyone is interested in this, I got the shader to load with this code

		public static Material GetMatFromShader2()
		{
			string codeBase = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;
			UriBuilder uri = new UriBuilder(codeBase);
			string path = Uri.UnescapeDataString(uri.Path);

			StreamReader shaderStream = new StreamReader(new FileStream(Path.GetDirectoryName(path) + "\\" + "Sky.shader", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read));
			string shaderContent = shaderStream.ReadToEnd();
			return new Material (shaderContent);
		}
