A few of the downloads work fine with the example executable, but when I compile the project, I get a black screen with lights on the "Soft Shadows" and a blank green screen with the "Post Bloom".
I think I've narrowed it down to something with the effect. For instance, if I rem out the assignment
Quote: "dbSetObjectEffect(1,1);"
in the Soft Shadows example, the lights cull properly as if the object is there, but when I use the
Quote: "dbSetObjectEffect(1,1);"
, the lights leave a trail (because the backdrop is off) and they don't cull......


Does anyone know what is going on?

I always had problems to, I think some recent updates broke the commands.

Crap! I wanted to use those effects in my next game. I wonder if there is a workaround.....

I'll be glad to help.
Please post the whole test project so we can give it a try.

All shaders that I've tested run fine and there's nothing broken regarding shaders in DGDK, although Evolved ones use to be kind of tricky.

I've been having problems with shaders, as well. I found out that the "ps_1_1" macro for the pixel shader is no longer supported. When I changed it to "ps_2_0" for the pixel shader, the FX file worked just fine on both Dark BASIC as well as DaekGDK. See if that works.

DUDE! That was it. I had to change all the shaders for "ps_2_0".
I noticed some z-fighting, so I also adjusted the "StencilShadow.fx" from 0.1 to 0.5

You'll see it in the .fx

I must admit at first I was skeptical because Decepticons are the enemy.
