TGEA & Shaders
by Yves Albuquerque · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 02/12/2008 (8:59 am) · 3 replies
Hello!
I'm trying to use the Torque Game Engine Advanced demo in my notebook,
but it does not have vertex shaders support. So I tried to recompiled
it (I bought the SDK 1.0.3) to force software rendering.
I changed:
deviceFlags = D3DCREATE_HARDWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING;
to:
D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING;
with Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Express 2005, it compiles, but when
it runs I got a message
"Error: failed to open main.cs"
Can someone help me or indicate where I can get some?
Thank you.

Set the working directory in the "debug" part of the project properties to the proper path and it should be fine.

I got interested in this thread because I have a Dell Laptop with an Intel965 Express videocard. The card runs DX9 examples which use pixel shaders. So I decided to change to Software Processing exactly as Ives did but also disabling the Pure Device (I got a runtime error unless Pure Device was off, CreateDevice was unable to initialize the D3D9Device object).
Well... it compiles but when I run It I got a lot of errors. Like the engine being unable to lock a surface or the engine requiring the surfaces to be square (I thought the bitmaps were loaded in square surfaces).
Anyway, I cant make it run in this computer and running in REF is too slow. If someone may add some additional information please tell me.
Luck!
