When night appears problem

Hi,

I'm integrating Caelum with other plugins(Hydrax 0.5, Paged Geometry, and SPT 0.2)

The app runs normal, but when night appears the sky being strange behavior.

Does someone have ideia for solve this issue?

looks like your viewport is set to white somewhere on your code

btw, many problems integrating it to hydrax?

im having issues about it: http://www.ogre3d.org/addonforums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=9298&start=45#p54473

@dudeabot
Try with a larger Camera far clip distance. If it doesn't minimice the problem, try setting a black technique called "HydraxDepth" in the caelum sky material.

not, only this...
Until now. =]

De onde do brasil, que você é?

The same problem started to appear for me. It only happens when the "midnight" comes. I have tried adding the HydraxDepth to all materials but if I add it to the "PointStarfield.material" the program crashes. Adding the same technique to other materials doesn't cause a crash and actually fixes the issues like the sun being visible through Hydrax. Also when this bug appears my FPS drops dramatically.

Update: If I disable the PointStarfield.material by renaming it to PointStarfield.material.no for example the problem doesn't occur (but there's no starfield obviously)!

Here's what the "PointStarfield.material" file looks like after adding the HydraxDepth:

Don't do that; PointStarfield won't work with arbitrary material modifications. It requires it's own vertex program.

If you want to disable a component in a special case you can do it with visibility / query flags.
