Here is the code:
Quote: " //Create the camera
dbMakeCamera(cameraID);

//Load the bloom effect for this camera
_bloomEffect = Chaos::getFree(Chaos:T_EFFECT);
dbLoadCameraEffect( "..\\media\\Effects\\Camera\\Bloom.dbs", _bloomEffect, 0 );

//Set this bloom effect to this camera
_bloomImage = Chaos::getFree(Chaos:T_IMAGE);
dbSetCameraEffect(cameraID, _bloomEffect, _bloomImage);

//Make a quad for the camera effects to be rendered to
_bloomPlain = Chaos::getFree(Chaos:T_MODEL);
dbMakeObjectPlain(_bloomPlain, 2, 2);

//Load the quad effect
_bloomPlainEffect = 2; //Chaos::getFree(Chaos:T_EFFECT);
dbLoadEffect("Quad.fx", _bloomPlainEffect, 0 );

////Make a temp vector
dbMakeVector4( 1000 );
dbSetVector4( 1000, dbScreenWidth(), dbScreenHeight(), 0 , 0 );
dbSetEffectConstantVector(_bloomPlainEffect, "ViewSize", 1000 );
dbDeleteVector4( 1000 );"


It would appear that the line "dbSetVector4( 1000, dbScreenWidth(), dbScreenHeight(), 0 , 0 );" is the one causing the greif.
Im in vista, could this be something to do with it?

Thanks - General Reed

well i wish that were the case, but the set vector command seems to crash the program. even the darkshader test programs. why is this?

we'll need mike to look at this. i'm having problems with all shaders - but most annoyingly problems with darkshader shaders which i just bought hoping that darkshader would outpuyt something that wouldnt cause darkgdk to crash.

Chances are he just needs to compile DarkShader.lib for 2008, heres hoping.

Half? Come on.... That's a little harsh... But then I don't use enough of it to know for sure... but maybe you're right.

I Do Know I need the following Includes so far cuz they are missing in the headers:

My "common" Header


My (LIT Provided) GetMatrix4Element function

So most haders dont work on GDK ,that doesnt mean that half of GDK doesnt work.
Its still the most easy and quick way to make great 3D games
Cheers for GDK

Are you serious? About alot of shaders in DarkGDK... hmm... that explains an issue I'm having trying to port one of Gandalfs shaders. Hmm... Well... I decided just a little while ago to skin the cat differently - though more because of frame rates - for the shader that I got working being to slow - I wanted to try a older shader - not OLD OLD - just a leaner one Gandalf wrote a while back - and it wouldn't run...but in DarkBasic it ran...

I'm going to just make my own texture mixer, that interrogates my objects for the stuff shaders do - like normals, angles, height, etc... and makes textures like that, in memory though - then export them as tiles. Frame Rates increase over 60%

I think you will find that stabitily of the engine is more important.

what's the situation with dgdk on vc++ and darkshader or fx shaders in general?

it seems too few shaders actually work with dgdk.

can someone give us the rundown on the situation pls?

Check the version number on the shaders you are using. Must be 2.0 or higher.
