So, I've dug through the .bat and .perl files, and every step seems to be
working alright as far as i can tell.
nmake generates the proper filenames which are baked down into filelist.txt
which reads:
fxc.exe /DSHADERCOMBO=0 /DTOTALSHADERCOMBOS=1 /DCENTROIDMASK=0
/DNUMDYNAMICCOMBOS=1 /DFLAGS=0x0 /Dmain=main /Emain /Tps_2_0
/DSHADER_MODEL_PS_2_0=1 /nologo /Foshader.o post_sepia_ps20.fxc>output.txt
2>&1
fxc.exe /DSHADERCOMBO=0 /DTOTALSHADERCOMBOS=1 /DCENTROIDMASK=0
/DNUMDYNAMICCOMBOS=1 /DFLAGS=0x0 /Dmain=main /Emain /Tvs_2_0
/DSHADER_MODEL_VS_2_0=1 /nologo /Foshader.o
post_screenspaceeffect_vs20.fxc>output.txt 2>&1
however, these never seem to run but I don't get any kind of error output
either. digging through the code, I find that the shaders Should compile to
materialsystem/stdshaders/shaders/fxc, but there's nothing ever generated
there. I feel like fxc.exe is never getting run, but I don't get any kind
of error messages to indicate this.
Upon attempting to run fxc.exe directly from the command line, I have no
trouble so I assume my path is set correctly, however there are compilition
errors. Shouldn't these have come up when running the .bat though if
fxc.exe was ever being run at all? And more importaintly, the compilation
error is:
common_fxc.h<156,36>: error X3000: syntax error: unexpected token 'linear'
This is one of the included valve header files, and looking at the section
in that file:
float3 LinearToGamma( const float3 linear ) //this is line 156
{
return pow( linear, 1.0f / 2.2f );
}
I can't find anything wrong there, can you?
This is getting wierd.
