1.8 and HLSL shaders

[mikeee]

Hi,
I had my project working OK on 1.7.3 but after I switched to 1.8 I got some problems with HLSL shaders.
Everything compiled OK but the HLSL Shader won't work.

First, I got this error:

Code: Select all

Could not load shader function D3DXAssembleShader from dll, shader disabled: d3dx9_43.dll 

so I downloaded d3dx9_43.dll and put this file in my exe-directory and it was better,
but now I got these two messages:

Code: Select all

Could not create vertex shader
HLSL vertex shader compilation failed

No shaders are loaded and what I got, is only black-screen...
I have exactly the same problem with the original Irrlicht example: 10.Shaders (missing file: d3dx9_43 file and then Could not create vertex shader..)

Im using DX9c (several HLSL-s), Windowx XP Sp3 and ATI HD6670 (and I have not problems with modern games, all drivers are current).
and as I said, my project worked perfectly OK on 1.7.3.


Any Ideas?
-Thank you...

Install the directX that comes with the June 2010 DirectX SDK. It is the most likely version of DirectX that was used to compile Irrlicht

June 2010 DirectX SDK is correct. Though I didn't expect it to run into problems with other versions.
