[Solved] ETM with Hydrax

Hi

I try to use hydrax v0.4 plugin and ETM v2.3.1 with this code :

mHydrax->getMaterialManager()->addDepthTechnique(
static_cast<Ogre::MaterialPtr>(Ogre::MaterialManager::getSingleton().getByName("ETTerrainMaterial"))
->createTechnique());

My code work fine without hydrax's depthTechnique but when I try the depth technique my application crash...

I've try many combinaisons for testing but no succes.
I don't know if the problem came from ETM or hydrax so I post here for the moment.
If someone have an idea

(oops I forgot! I'm using Ogre 1.6)

I am not familiar with Hydrax so I'm not sure what that method does, but you're going to have to closely examine anything that modifies the terrain material depending on how you're doing your lighting and especially shadows.

So, find out how the hydrax function modifies the material, and if you post a description of what it's doing us ETM people might be able to spot some collision with how ETM works.

Also mention how you're doing lighting/shadows esp if you're doing something different than in the ETM example (dynamic lighting etc)

hydrax says that only entities should have that depth technique however etm doesn't use entity's so you should remove that code.

@calsmurf2904
Just the opposite, hydrax needs add manually the depth technique when the material is not set in an Ogre::Entity

ohh lol...mis understanding ^^

I solved my problem!

In fact, I called the depthtechnique method before my ETM terrain creation


mHydrax->getMaterialManager()->addDepthTechnique(
static_cast<Ogre::MaterialPtr>(Ogre::MaterialManager::getSingleton().getByName("ETTerrainMaterial"))
->createTechnique());


This code works fine with ETM and Hydrax

Sorry about this little mistake...
