in SED, make sure you have included the nm.wdl.
ok, in WED, select a model, right click and scroll down to properties. you look at the first tab, and look down at materials. click on the folder icon, and if you added nm.wdl to the script, you select mat_NM as your material. update entities, run level and voila! you have a normal mapped model.

It has also mutated into other strains like, trip hop, house, rap, gangster, and conscious forms. Once you are infected with it, its with you for life."

ok, now i have interesting questions
1: my model has 2 textures, one for the gem and one for the ring, why cant i get it to use 2 normal maps instead of just the first in line?
2: on generating a normal map, theres the option to invert x, y, and z. which way do i need to set these to make an object shiny and not "negative shiny"? if you get what i mean:p
3: is bump mapping done the same way?

1. i dont know.
2. i am not sure.
3. you can add a bumpmap too.
did you find the normalmap generator? it creates diffuse, bump and mormals, and you can save and export them to be used in MED.
i really dont know how shaders are made, i just know how to use them. sorry i couldnt be better help.

ok, now how can i get my shader/bump map to react properly color wise? the sun in wed is yellow, and the shine is white on the model.
also, how can i get it to react to a sky cube? like a mirror effect? showing it on the model?

for the reflection, try a shader from the massive shader collection, i am not sure about sun colors.

Is actually pretty easy to see the materials in shaderview, but a bit tricky in WED. It's usually possible to ad them in GED easily, but i myself only see the full effects on a running game. All the code you actually implement for a material is that:
material DiffuseBump
{
effect = "DiffuseBump.fx";
}
...and that's it. Material appear in the model material options on wed, just apply and watch when the game runs. Remember that the .fx file NEED to be in the game root directory. You need to download ONLY the .fx files that works with gamestudio - not all .fx files works with it!
