Well I've solved the problem now. You need to have DX9 defined for it to actually use all the vertexlit shader code in CBaseVSShader so I added it to the preprocessor definitions in the project options and everything worked fine. Also the code refers to the HL2 vertexlitgeneric shader when it should refer to the SDK one in several places. Namely the shader include files in basevsshader_vertexlitgeneric_dx9_helper.cpp and the names of the shaders that are set in CBaseVSShader::DrawVertexLitAndUnlitGeneric_DX9.
Also I think that the 'No render states' error appears when you don't setup the shader's shadow state correctly (in this case without DX9 defined the shadow state didn't get setup at all hence the error). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Chadwick Sent: 05 December 2005 15:27 To: [email protected] Subject: [hlcoders] Shader render states This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I've compile the SDK_VertexLitGeneric shader but when I attempt to use it in-game I get a message saying "No render states in shader 'SDK_VertexLitGeneric_DX9' ", if I change the material is use just VertexLitGeneric everything works fine so something must be wrong with the supplied SDK code. Does anyone know what's causing this error and a way to fix it? -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
