Assertion failed

Hey,

I can copy my program on any computer at school and it runs perfectly, but when i run it at home or at somebody else home, it crashed at startup saying that



It seems that i might be missing some files that are present on school computers.

Heres the log

anybody have an idea? please

Here is a clue:

It appears that the video cards do not support the Vertex Programs used by Caelum. The video cards need to support PixelShader 2.0. Here is a nice reference to quickly see which cards support what technology: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/

Thx for the reply fish, but i have a x800 pro, it seems that it should support it.

but ive seen in precipitation.material somthing like

fragment_program Caelum/PrecipitationFP cg
{
source Precipitation.cg
entry_point MainFP
profiles ps_3_0 fp40 arbfp1

default_params
{
}
}


which looks like pixel shader 3.0, so that would make sense.

But then, how could i make it run on ps2.0 so i can send it to other people?

when i run from openGL i can see the rain and the clouds, so i can run it witout ps2.0 ?

anybody have an idea? please

i would like to know if there is a way to run caelum on PixelShader 2.0

It seems to work fine on the X300 card in my laptop, which only supports PS2.0 and less. Have you tried compiling the Caelum sample code? Does that work as expected with the X800Pro? Also, make sure you have the latest video card drivers installed.

Caelum used to work on my x800pro but now since i updated and recompiled it gives me a strange error which there is no source at that specific location, i cant find where that directory come from.

Hmmm...it smells of stale resources.

On pixel shader 2.0: Large parts of Caelum will work; all you need to do is change the profile. Other shaders could be simplified and made to work with 2.0 shadres. I'm not exactly sure what parts do work correctly and haven't really looked into this. I don't have any low-level cards around but I guess I can try with Ogre 1.6 hardware profiles.

You can try to change the shader profiles but parts will probably break.

@nath31337: That Ogre exception you got seems to from the driver refusing one of the shaders in the demo. Did you change profiles to 2.0?

well i guess to change profile to 2.0 we have to look in all the materials and change all the "profiles ps_3_0" to "profiles ps_2_0".

so i did that but it didnt change anything to my demo neither my game.

Ive tried to show my friends my project on their laptop and computers but i couldnt because of the error at the 1st post, it only worked on a macbook

your help is appreciated.

i still didnt find how to change the profile of caelum to pixel shader 2.o instead of 3.0. can anyone help me
