[Solved] Material and or Texture problem

OK after a couple ( at least ) days of fighting with the different versions all over the place this is where I am...

1.2.1 of Ogre
Latest from CVS OgreAddons

MapSplitter works fine. ( Thank you very very very much whomever did the Wiki pages, sorry I forgot who you are )
MapEditor - So @&&#ed not worth bothering with.
Plugin - builds fine
Demo - asserts on the default map but choosing ignore means it doesn't crash just a little ugly

Now putting it in my program:
Was a terrain scene manager app

Now I call:


mSceneMgr = mRoot->createSceneManager("PagingLandScapeSceneManager", "PagingLandScapeDemo" );
mSceneMgr->setWorldGeometry( "paginglandscape2.cfg" );


Instead of the terrian scene magager calls.

I'm trying the default map from the demo though my own map does almost exactly the same thing.

That thing is an assert in OgrePagingLandScapeTexture.cpp at around line 361. I added the error to the Ogre Log just so I can see it and what I get is:
14:39:32: InstantBaseTextureShadowed Must exists in thePLSM2group

In my own map the same thing happens except it says Image must exist...

I'm pretty sure I copied over all the materials, scripts, and such.

Any one have a clue to why this is happening? BTW unlike the Demo asserts which says something about stretch modes. This error cannot be ignored.

MapEditor - So @&&#ed not worth bothering with.
You're right!
It is GOOF'ed.
@&&#ed is another word for pre-alpha.

14:39:32: InstantBaseTextureShadowed Must exists in thePLSM2group
...
This error cannot be ignored.
Well, PLSM2 is highly unstable at the moment.
Tuan and Falagard is busy fixing things.
Unless InstantBaseTextureShadowed is part of the media, which I assume you've installed properly according to the instructions in the Wiki.

At first that's what I thought but it the PLSM2 demo works fine and it is built from the same code. It opens the maps fine but my app does not.

InstantBaseTextureShadowed is no more. Now it's InstantBaseShadowed.
(more generally remove "Texture" in plsm2 material names.)

Do you use a terrain config and material from CVS ?
If yes, which one is faulty ?

Ah thanks so very much. No way to know which .cfg files I was using I have like 20 copies of PLSM2 on this machine. Grabbed the ones out of CVS and the default map now works. Though it still asserts about texture stretching but so does the demo app so no biggie. The assert BTW is:

mImages[channel].getHeight()/(mParent->getOptions()->PageSize-1) == mParent->getOptions()->TextureStretchFactor && String("(texture size / (pagesize-1)) and texture stretch factor defined in terrai...

Changing my map from using Image to ImagePaging fixes mine. Still haven't gotten as far as being able to see the terrain but I think that problem is on my side. If not I'll let you know.

texture stretch factor defined in terrai...
It checks if the map generated by mapsplitter does respect the texturestretch factor specified in the terrain cfg file.

it has to be specified now in config files.

BTW the terrian not actually appearing was on my side as I expected. There was still some work to do converting from TSM to PLSM once finished all was happy.
