Another issue, but with models now.

[Andy Gilbert]

Ok, so i have started moving over all my models i had for sandbox over to the new editor, Ive litrally just copied all the folders into the new ones, but what ive noticed is "most" of them just crash the new editor... why would this be?

 

Thanks

Andy

Phy files possibly! I don't know what version you were upgrading from.

[Andy Gilbert]

Hi, was 2.28 i believe.

 

thanks

Can you confirm it was 2.28?

[Andy Gilbert]

ok, sorry, just checked and it seems its 2.27.

 

Thanks

The physics serialisation format was changed in 2.28 so its more than likely your .phy files need re-doing.

[Andy Gilbert]

Ok, well.. as they only had the default phy files that were generated for them, can i just delete the phy files and let the editor re generate them? Or does it not work like that?

 

thanks

That should work as that is what I did for some files.

[Andy Gilbert]

Cheers Marley, ill give it a go.

No problems Andy.

[Andy Gilbert]

Ok, still having same problem after deleting the phy files. It also crashes the model viewer, and the model view log says for one of my tree's for example.

 

Error: Shader file "abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_specular_sway_alphatest.vert" not found.

 

So, im guess thats a problem?

 

Andy

[Marleys Ghost]

did you do a full fresh install ?

[Rick]

Try

 

shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_sway.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_specular_alphatest.frag"

shadowshader="abstract::mesh_shadow_sway.vert","abstract::mesh_shadow.frag"

 

in your mat files for these.

[Marleys Ghost]

try looking in your shaders pak .. see if its there.

[Andy Gilbert]

Ok, so the example that rick posted fixes them. But is that the only way.... i have maybe going on 50 - 70 trees, bushes, grass, flowers ETC all with this shader?

 

And it was a full install, and is uptodate.

Well:

 

Error: Shader file "abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_specular_sway_alphatest.vert" not found.

 

is telling you it can't find the shader specified, you might try looking in the 2.27 shaders pak and then adding that to the new .pak

[Josh]

It doesn't make sense for a vertex shader to describe an "alphatest" setting because alpha discard is performed in the fragment shader.

[Niosop]

A quick way for you to do this is just copy another of the vert shaders to that name. The name would no longer describe what it does, but it would stop it from crashing and keep you from having to modify all the material files.

[Rick]

Just note that if you put it back in the shaders.pak and Josh does an update to that file it could be lost and you'd have to do it again. You could just leave it outside of the pak also, I just hate having exceptions like that myself.
