Demo crash

Aloha!

Problem:
Running self-compiled Demo_PagingLandScape2.exe crash somewhere while initializing.

Context:
Freshly downloaded OgreSDK, PLSM2 SDK and datasrcs;
Compiled debug version of PLSM2;
MapSplitterD.exe ran successfully;
Demo_PagingLandScape2.exe crash with the console displaying:

The relevant code I believe is this line (OgrePagingLandScapeTexture.cpp:301):

MaterialPtr material = MaterialManager::getSingleton().getByName (matClassName);

where matClassName == "Base2"


I was using the Direct3D driver on a GeForce 440 Go (doesn't support shaders).

If I can provide any detail that could help me use this library, I'll be glad

I played around with "paginglandscape2.cfg" and could load a map, and not make the program crash on another one (though the map was invisible). Trying the "next map" and "next texture format" keys managed to crash the app, though.

I suppose some settings in the map config files cause my problems.

What's sad is that these are the default settings

That looks like an old version of the plsm2 SDK, try with the latest one, redownload it.

I updated the SDK to yesterday's version and it works much better.

It has been reported before but I had to disable vertex compression to have maps not crash the application. I still have some maps not showing up, though.

Also, on the "puget_sound" map, it crashes with the following exception:


I quickly looked in my debugger, and it complains that mSize != mImage->getWidth(), (mSize == 129 and mImage.width == 513).

Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with the app

seems SDK puge map still have a conflict between maplsplit option option and runtime demo map option.
I'll check that.

or perhaps it was mapplit by a previous version of the SDK ?
