FATAL-ISV - Could not open include 'shadergen:/autogen.conditioner.h'

[jessewebb]

Hello,

I'm new to using Torque. I get the above error when trying to open Torque3D. I downloaded the latest version, and I'm on Linux (PopOS). It always gives me the same error message with a pop-up to either 'Debug', 'Ignore, 'Ignore All', or 'Exit'. I've tried all of these options but nothing works so far. Is there a possible fix for this?

This happens to me also on Linux Mint. I haven't got around to compiling it myself but I believe that will work. The weird thing though, is that it doesn't sound like a missing dependency issue.

Thank you. I've never used Cmake before, but I'll try to follow the instructions and see if I can figure it out. I was debating on using Torque3D or Godot, so I figured maybe it would be fun to try to make a game with each engine. But I've had trouble getting Torque to work, and was close to giving up on it.

If you mean it's reporting the procedurally generated file shown, there's a few ways to work around it trying to include it:
1) allow write permissions to the directory so that it can dump the report-shaders and .h on out (it uses the ones in memory, those are for debug purposes
2) delete the directory in it's entirety (if it can't find it, it doesn't even try to write em)

3) you could attempt to ship a backup copy with the game. (would not advise that one)

Hey I think I figured it out. I copied the folder cache from the source download and put it in the data folder.

I think you just need to make a folder in /data and call it cache then make a subfolder in that called shaderCache.

So /data/cache/shaderCache

I attached the folder that was created. Just extract it to /data.

cache.tar.gz

 

Hey Azaezel,

I tried adding all permissions but for some reason it couldn't create the folder?

Would adding an empty cache directory to the Linux upload help?

assuming there's write permissions, yes. in fact we do by default for just that reason.

Hey. You fixed it, thank you. I never got around to compiling it myself, so I don't know if that would have helped or not. But your solution with the folders and the shader cache worked perfectly. I just opened the level editor for the first time. I appreciate the help.

I'm glad it works too! I didn't really feel like compiling it either. I've been using 3.5 and 3.10 and while it is good practice to compile it yourself, perhaps Torque 3D won't be to your liking but now you can play around with it. You can also try 3.10 since T3D has had a Linux port since 3.6. It seems kind of empty around here but it seems that there is still a lot of work going on. Pretty interesting.
