Running Hydrax 0.5.1 compiled with Ogre 1.7.1

I have compiled Hydrax 0.5.1 with Ogre 1.7.1 from sources under Windows 7 Ultimate using MS Visual Studio 2008, and I see a drastic difference between the outputs of my program and the pre-compiled demo. My version of Demo1 produces a square island with an ugly sharp border: The pre-compiled version of Demo 1 shows a different kind of a border artifact, while looking better overall: How can this be improved?

Look at your Ogre log, the water you see in your build is the default Hydrax water, which means that the .hdx file is not being correctly loaded!

P.D.: What GPU do you have? It seems strange to me your border artifacts and the -very- little FPS you've with the precompiled demo...

Xavyiy,

Now I see a "sea of ink",
I am linking this new problem to this ogre log message:
10:00:40: OGRE EXCEPTION(6:FileNotFoundException): Cannot locate resource HydraxDepthReflectionMap in resource group Hydrax or any other group. in ResourceGroupManager::openResource at ..\..\Program Files\OGRE\ogre_src_v1-7-1\OgreMain\src\OgreResourceGroupManager.cpp (line 753)
10:00:40: Error loading texture HydraxDepthReflectionMap. Texture layer will be blank. Loading the texture failed with the following exception: OGRE EXCEPTION(6:FileNotFoundException): Cannot locate resource HydraxDepthReflectionMap in resource group Hydrax or any other group. in ResourceGroupManager::openResource at ..\..\Program Files\OGRE\ogre_src_v1-7-1\OgreMain\src\OgreResourceGroupManager.cpp (line 753)

I cannot seem to locate HydraxDepthReflectionMap either, even though the pre-compiled demo must have it.

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 3400

By comparing the logs for my version and the pre-compiled demo, I determined that I had previously misidentified the cause of the "sea of ink". Indeed, the log for the pre-compiled demo says the same thing,
16:43:14: OGRE EXCEPTION(6:FileNotFoundException): Cannot locate resource HydraxDepthReflectionMap in resource group Hydrax or any other group. in ResourceGroupManager::openResource at ..\src\OgreResourceGroupManager.cpp (line 753)

Something else must be causing the problem, then, but I don't know what it might be. Interestingly, the missing HydraxDepthReflectionMap was mistakenly mentioned in a number of threads as a potential culprit, see
