2) Well, try it in the program I attached to my last post. Set the directional light to 0,0,0 and compile it, then start it and click until the shader says Default AppGameKit and let me know what isn't working. Is 0,0,0 giving light you mean?
You can check the shaders I sent with the program, they're in the "shaders" folder.

Edit:
Ok, back to issue no. 2:
I compared my shader with no directional light to default shader with directional light set to 0,0,0 and the default shader does give some brightness from this. So:
Correct answer:
2) No. Just load my shader which is attached in post #2 of this thread
