Horde3D

Here's what I'm trying to do: I have two deferred lighting contexts, classic LIGHTING and AMBLIGHT, which is ambient light not affected by surface normal. So far, good.
Now, I need to render ambient lights to separate buffer. But <DoDeferredLightLoop context="AMBLIGHT"/> instead of only drawing lights with amblight context, also draws normal ones, that appear as amblight. If I use a separate shader that doesn't have LIGHTING context, Horde3D will crash the moment any light using this context appears on the scene.

Any way around this?

The common way in horde to include/exclude objects in a rendering pass is using the material classes. As deferred lights need to have a material anyway, it should be straightforward to add a class parameter to the DoDeferredLightLoop pipeline command.


This is definitely a bug, if a context is not available the object should be ignored. Do you have a simple repro case for that crash?

I'm a moron.

While trying to make a repeatable example, I noticed something: I used an old version of H3D. It works perfectly in latest svn (257 I think).
Maybe it was somehow related to this?.

Sorry for the false alarm.

Don't worry
And thanks for trying to create the repro case.
