Wheres the lighting kit files

#1 They're all in Engine/LightingSystem.

I recommend to make a new directory,and pull ALL of the files to the new one. It sounds like your files didn't all get updated.

#2 TSE seems to now depend on a lighting kit, which does not update from the tse trunk in CVS. Now TSE won't compile. Is there a way to get the lighting kit? Is this an extra add-on that must be purchased to get TSE to work, now?

Engine/scenegraph/lightManager.h contains the following lines:

// until we delete this file...
#include "lightingSystem/sgLightManager.h"

example/common/server/lightingSystem.cs contains the following lines:

//load precompiled...
   %path = %basepath @ "*.dso";
   echo("");
   echo("//-----------------------------------------------");
   //echo("Synapse Gaming Lighting Pack");
   echo("");
   echo("Loading light datablocks from: " @ %path);
   %file = findFirstFile(%path);

Is there an estimate on when this dependency will be removed (or otherwise corrected)?

#3 The "lighting kit" is now the only lighting system in TSE, so you can't remove the dependency. You should repull ALL of TSE to a new directory - that way you will get ALL of the files, including the lighting system.

#4 Jaimi, is right - the files related to the lighting system are part of TSE. Try pulling down the latest TSE from cvs into a clean directory, verify the build compiles, and then merge in any changes you've made.

#5 @John, what version on cvs should I be pulling? I've apparently become "cvs-challenged" in the last year and have been having a heck of a time getting a complete version set, i.e. Release_0_4_0, Release_0_4_5, etc.

#6 Hi James, you need to pull down HEAD, which it should automatically do if you don't ask for a specific revision.

#7 @John
A fresh checkout from CVS did the trick; I guess cvs update had a problem with the new directory structure. Thanks!

#8 Well, that would be too obvious, John, wouldn't it? =P

#9 Anytime you do an update, make sure you've checked off 'grab clean copy' and 'create dirs'. CVS really isn't braindead, its just very obtuse.
