[2.1] Easier way to communicate with hlms shader?

[dark_sylinc]

@dark_sylinc: Would It be possible, that you add the '&' reference? It will not harm the pbs implementation and make it possible to use meta listeners!

A bit of RTFM here:
the return value is the new location of passBufferPtr. Thus doing:

Code: Select all

while( itor != end )
{
passBuffPtr = itor->preparePassBuffer( shadowNode, casterPass, dualParaboloid,sceneManager, passBufferPtr );
++itor;
}
return passBuffPtr;

Should do it

ok thanks. I found a similiar solution.

I have another question:
I know add:

Code: Select all

Ogre::Archive* archiveFog = archiveManager.load(dataFolder + "Hlms/Fog/Any", "FileSystem", true);
archivePbsLibraryFolders.push_back(archiveFog);

Fog data to pbs, if fog is enabled. But now when I disable fog via:

Code: Select all

this->gameObjectPtr->getSceneManager()->setFog(Ogre::FOG_NONE);

The whole scene will become black.

Is it possible to add/remove custom shader from pbs at runtime?
I already tried:

Code: Select all

hlmsPbs->reloadFrom(archivePbs, &archivePbsLibraryFolders);

But that did not work and the scene started to flicker.

Hi,

I digged deeper in that topic. When I deactivate fog, the functions

Code: Select all

getPassBufferSize

and

Code: Select all

preparePassBuffer

, but of course, because when Fog is set to 'NONE', there is no listener, so the returned size in

Code: Select all

getPassBufferSize

is 0 and in

Code: Select all

preparePassBuffer

the

Code: Select all

passBufferPtr

is of course not incremented, this causes the black scene/flickering etc. So the question is: How can shader code be deactivated again?
