I don't know what it was. I went in offline mode on Steam and I closed Rainmeter. It told me the .werk file for my project was missing. That happens sometimes. Started a new project and now it seems to be working just fine. I'm not tech savvy so if you highly suspect Rainmeter it's probably that, as far as I'm concerned.

So this works but it eats up the FPS constantly loading and deleting the shader. Bloom effect brought me all the way down to a constant 7 FPS. Not sure exactly why this works but there's got to be a better way. Anyone? function Script:UpdateWorld() self.world = World:GetCurrent() if self.camera==nil then for i=0,self.world:CountEntities()-1 do if self.world:GetEntity(i):GetClass()==Object.CameraClass then self.camera=self.world:GetEntity(i) tolua.cast(self.camera,"Camera") return end end end depthbuffer:Clear() depthbuffer:Enable() self.camera:ClearPostEffects() <--- world:Render() depthbuffer:Disable() self.camera:AddPostEffect("Shaders/PostEffects/bloom.lua") <--- Context:SetCurrent(context) end

That's what I did. I loaded your null shader. Same results as other posteffect shaders. No line. It's the depth from the Leadwerks water shader, which works while there are posteffects running from what I can tell. So it seems to me there is something that is enabled or present somewhere in water mode that I'm not aware of .

You know what I actually saw your post and tried the null shader. I get nothin. What do you mean by "final result"? I don't even know where to start digging for answers.

This line disappears when I add post-effects to the scene, which is a bummer.

Ah ok! Thanks, man. Good to know.

That happens to me sometimes where a project will just disappear. It won't run so I have to start a new project and copy/paste all the files from the old one. Maybe that's the actual "bug."

Ok I restarted my computer, went into offline mode on Steam, closed Rainmeter. Started Leadwerks. It said the project file .werk was missing. Started a new project and now it seems to be working. Didn't see any recent updates but then again I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. So it must be one of those things.

That could be. What do I do about that?

Another thing that's happening is when I run the game the output says "Executing C:\Users\Owner\...." but nothing else. No warnings or errors occur. The game runs. And then when I go to shut the script editor it tells me an external process is still running and asks if I want to terminate it. All this is new.

Nope. Nothing.

Uninstalled reinstalled. No change. I'll keep messing with things and let you know if it gets fixed.

When I run the game the output says Executing...exe and then nothing. I can run it but something is off. If I close the Script Editor it says "An external process is still running. Do you want to terminate it? Seems like I started putting the perspective view in realtime render then moving it around and then like the next day all this.

Nothing that I'm aware of. It just started suddenly a few days ago. I'll try an uninstall reinstall see if that does it.

No mouse. I'm on a laptop. I can zoom in and out that's it. I don't know what I might have done. I also can't run in debug mode.

Seem to have lost the ability to navigate in the perspective viewport.

I put together this depth buffer model shader but it doesn't work when I put post effects up. What causes this? How do I fix it/get around the problem? I assume there's a way around it because the depth part of the shader I got right from Josh's water shader. I think it must have something to do with the script, then...something I"m not doing right. Here's the script: function Script:Start() depthbuffer = Buffer:Create(context:GetWidth(),context:GetHeight(),0,1) depth = depthbuffer:GetDepthTexture() surface = self.entity:GetFace(0) mat = surface:GetMaterial() mat:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha) mat:SetTexture(depth,4) end function Script:UpdateWorld() depthbuffer:Enable() self.entity:Hide() world:Render() self.entity:Show() Context:SetCurrent(context) end

These are great.

Yeah man you do cool stuff.

It's working for me. Did you add the vertex information in the vertex part of the shader? Are you testing it as a post effect in Scene/Root/PostEffects or trying it on a model?

Awesome .How is it so far? Exceeding expectations? The vibe I'm getting is that it'll be too complicated for someone like me and there won't be any help, so I won't be able to get anywhere with it. I just can't pay $700 for something like that. Looks like it's going to be amazing, though.

Nice. I like all those little things you're using to create that ambience.

That would be great if he did. Otherwise I wonder if all that work would be kind of obsolete by the time LE5 comes out. I'd get in the practice, though. I'm trying to make a list of shaders if you have any ideas. I want to be reasonably sure I can do it before I commit to it. 52 shaders turns out to be a lot to think about lol. And I don't want to just make goofy little shaders like "procedural checkerboard" or something. I want to make things people might actually use - stuff I would use.

So you were never able to fix this?
