shade-c terrain - 09/24/09 09:00

hi guys,
ive got a strange problem...
im trying to use the shade-c terrain shader but it doesnt work...
thats how its in the manual:

How to use:
Set my.material = sc_mtl_obj_terrain;
Set sc_mtl_obj_terrain.skin1 to your colortilemap, or simply create a custom material

Code:

BMAP* myTerrainColor = "myTerrainTile.bmp";

MATERIAL* mtl_myTerrain ()
{
   skin1 = myTerrainColor;
   effect = "sc_obj_terrain.fx";
}

and thats my complete code (i used the entities from the demo for trying)

Code:

#define PRAGMA_PATH "shade-c"
#define PRAGMA_PATH "stuff"
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
#include "sc_core.c"; 

ENTITY* ent_terrain;


BMAP* myTerrainColor = "terrain_color.dds";

MATERIAL* mtl_myTerrain ()
{
   skin1 = myTerrainColor;
   effect = "sc_obj_terrain.fx";
}


void main()
{
   level_load("empty.wmb");
   wait(4);
	ent_terrain = ent_create("terrain.mdl",vector(0,0,0),mtl_myTerrain);
	wait(2);
   //set resolution
   video_switch(8,32,0); 

   //Setup Shade-C
   sc_setup();
   //

   //you can now make full use of Shade-C!
   
   
}

i always get a syntax error in line 14 'skin1' undeclared identifier

by changing

Code:

MATERIAL* mtl_myTerrain ()
{
   skin1 = myTerrainColor;
   effect = "sc_obj_terrain.fx";
}

to

Code:

MATERIAL* mtl_myTerrain =
{
   skin1 = myTerrainColor;
   effect = "sc_obj_terrain.fx";
}

the error disappers but the engine crashs in by error E1513.

i realy dont know what to do, and i would by happy about every help i can get.

[edit]
ok i did it after hours of trying.

first i had to create the terrain model without shader and change the material later.

Code:

ent_terrain = ent_create("terrain2.mdl",vector(0,0,0),NULL);
	wait(2);
	ent_terrain.material = sc_mtl_obj_terrain;

for changing the tile set you have to

Code:

sc_bmap_terrainColor = bmap_create("new_tile.dds");
	wait(2);
	sc_mtl_obj_terrain.skin1=sc_bmap_terrainColor;

if i said something wrong, please feel free to spit on me

but it worked this way in my script

I think this:

Code:

MATERIAL* mtl_myTerrain ()

should be this:

Code:

MATERIAL* mtl_myTerrain () =

I haven't looked at Shade-C, but since you're talking about a ".h" file I think it's just a prototype, so that anything can use it no matter where it's placed in the code.

Glad it worked

You assigned a material instead of an action on the ent_create's last parameter, that's why it crashed I think.
