Append shader defines in RenderPath

Discussions Support
#1

I am looking for a way to append shader defines for all commands.

What i am currently doing :

  1. Creating empty RenderPath()
  2. Looping through all commands and appending to vertexShaderDefines and pixelShaderDefines.
  3. Append commands to new RenderPath, add all renderTargets
  4. Set new RenderPath to viewport.

I see all the object in viewport, but define does not seem to pass inside the shader.

My question is related to other already asked Update RenderPath and/or RenderPathCommand, but I don’t want to resurrect it. @cadaver?

Why do you create empty path instead of just updating commands in your existing one?
Some suggestions:
-Check if it works on quad command before scene command.
-Edit XML file and see if it works.

I only need to update shader defines from angelscript.

#4

Steps 2 and 3 are backwards.

Steps 1 and 2 in that order make absolutely no sense, that can do absolutely nothing.

… I want to kick a puppy now in frustration from reading that.

Well, at least I know that you are angry…

@Askhento, don’t get bothered too much about it, I think @JSandusky is the most angry person on this server. Also, one of the few people who really know the insides of Urho.

But don’t worry, it’s usually figuratively angry. It’s rarely angry angry. Take it as poorly phrased snark.

In this case I was upset because I delved through code thinking something could be wrong, and delved into it for about an hour before I realized, “no, it’s the user.” Hence, I wanted to kick a puppy (not something I’d ever do, I only eliminate feral dogs).

Don’t worry, I’m more snark than bite
