Having a compiler problem

by David Dougher · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 09/15/2006 (6:52 pm) · 3 replies

I'm having a problem compiling the latest version. It keeps reporting that the constant, VC_LIGHT_TRANS is an undeclared identifier.

Anybody know where it is defined? I have done several searches through the code but, while I can find several places where it is used, I cannot find a #define for it anywhere.

    A quick search for VC_LIGHT_TRANS on my copy of TSE version MS4 found:

    sgLightingFeatures.h in engine\lightingSystem
    material.cpp in engine\materials
    renderElemMgr.cpp in engine\renderinstance
    shdrConsts.h in example\shaders

    Note: I'm assuming you're using ms4.

    There have been updates in the last few days and so if you haven't connected to the cvs then it might be a good idea.

    That's it! Thanks David!

    I had all the other references that you listed except the one in shdrConsts.h. When I checked my copy it didn't have it listed. Back checked to a backup copy of TSE and found it there. Somehow I got the current one and one from the previous version swapped. So all my compiles stopped working.


    Great. back to work...

    That's why you should always get a CLEAN copy out of CVS when a new release is out. Then you don't get confused when something like this happens and you don't waste the time of awesome people like David who looked for the problem.
