I am trying to update my proyect (SAV_v1.8) from 3.0 to 3.1, but I cannot.
I have this exception:

If anyone I can help me to know I can fix it,…
Thx

do you have custom materials?

leumad101 · March 16, 2017, 4:01pm

I am using shaderblowlib materials (Disolver and NighVision…these are wonderfull), can be this the problem?

nehon · March 16, 2017, 7:01pm

yes definitely.
Isn’t there a version out there that was updated for 3.1?

nehon · March 16, 2017, 7:23pm

here

github.com

jMonkeyEngine-Contributions/shaderblowlib/blob/master/ShaderBlow/assets/ShaderBlow/MatDefs/Dissolve/Lighting.j3md#L142


    Vector3 LightDir
    Float PCFEdge
    Float ShadowMapSize
    // Refraction Filter
    Boolean DoRefract : False
    Float Distance : 200.0
    Texture2D Mask_Texture        
}
Technique {
    LightMode MultiPass
    VertexShader GLSL100:   Common/MatDefs/Light/Lighting.vert
    FragmentShader GLSL100: ShaderBlow/Shaders/Dissolve/Lighting.frag
    WorldParameters {
        WorldViewProjectionMatrix

add this

github.com

jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine/blob/master/jme3-core/src/main/resources/Common/MatDefs/Light/Lighting.j3md#L117


Float PCFEdge
Float ShadowMapSize
// For hardware skinning
Int NumberOfBones
Matrix4Array BoneMatrices
// For Morph animation
FloatArray MorphWeights
Int NumberOfMorphTargets
Int NumberOfTargetsBuffers
        
//For instancing
Boolean UseInstancing
Boolean BackfaceShadows : false
// fog - jayfella
Boolean UseFog
Color FogColor
Vector2 LinearFog

then replace all this
