Is there some kind of limit on the number of shaders that can be used. I'm having a problem where say I have shaderA which works fine on my model. I add shaderB which is a copy of shaderA, and change the material to point to shaderB instead, and it no longer appears in the engine. If I point the material to some other shader I've previously created it works too, so it's almost as if I've hit a limit. The shader is getting compiled according to the log.

I'm not sure if it's related but I've also found in certain cases objects won't appear until I move the camera around, or if I get too close the texture will change to something else.

Anyone encountered these issues?

Thanks

There is no shader limit in the engine. Are you changing the materials dynamically during runtime? You could try to switch to debug mode (F7 in the samples) to see if your model is still there.

This can happen when you apply a shader which uses two textures from a material which only binds one texture. The second one is undefined and OpenGL takes whatever is currently in the memory.

Nope, this happens even if I simply copy the skinning shader and rename it to something else (and point a material to use it). In fact, in this case the object in question doesn't appear until it's been offscreen. Once it comes back onscreen it will be rendered.

This looks like the bug reported here:

http://www.nextgen-engine.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=225

It has been fixed in version 0.14, so please upgrade to the latest version.

The sample in that link does display what appears to be the same bug, however I'm now running with 0.14 and it still occurs.

I'm trying to see if the samples exhibit the same behaviour but I'm getting odd linker errors when building them:

fatal error C1900: Il mismatch between 'P1' version '20060201' and 'P2' version '20050411'

Could you describe exactly the steps necessary to reproduce the problem? The best of course would be a small sample file. This would greatly help me to track down the issue.

I literally just downloaded 0.14 and loaded the Horde3d solution file and rebuilt the chicago or knight sample. The error in my first post occurs in debug. In release i get the following:

Quote:

fatal error C1047: The object or library file '..\..\build\sample chicago\release\app.obj' was created with an older compiler than other objects; rebuild old objects and libraries
3>LINK : fatal error LNK1257: code generation failed

Is there possibly some conflicts between any libs. I noticed another post with the same issue and you asked about SP1. I don't have this installed, and from what I've read about it recently I'm not convinced I should - it seems to cause a lot of problems. Could that be an issue though?
I could upload a sample for you, but I haven't changed a thing - this is the freshly downloaded SDK

This is the build log:

Is there anything else I can provide that may shed some light?

Actually the only thing that I think could cause such problems is GLFW which I have included as a precompiled library. You could try to download the GLFW source and build it yourself. A soultion is included so this very easy, just switch to release config, hit the build button and copy the created lib to the Horde3D SDK directory. I'm curious to see if that is the problem...

GLFW is included as DLL now instad of being linked statically with the sample apps. I think this should solve problems with different versions of Visual Studio.
