textures are gone after some time

Maybe you can try 1.18 instead and see if it happens there too: http://www.jpct.net/download/jpctapi_118.zip

i've made a search and found no compile() call.

1.18 is same as 1.19. 1.17 is working fine (i've that version and tried).

my render method is like this:

Code Select Expand

                    buffer.clear();
                   
                    if (skyBox != null) {
                        skyBox.renderScene(buffer, world.getCamera().getBack());
                        skyBox.draw(buffer);
                       
                        buffer.clearZBufferOnly();
                    }
                   
                    world.renderScene(buffer);
                    world.draw(buffer);
                   
                    buffer.update();


where SkyBox.renderScene is

Code Select Expand

    public void renderScene(FrameBuffer buffer, Matrix matrix) {
        world.getCamera().setBack(matrix);
        world.renderScene(buffer);
    }
   

and SkyBox.draw is

Code Select Expand

    public void draw(FrameBuffer buffer) {
        world.draw(buffer);
    }


see any flaw ?

Looks fine to me. The only light related change that i can see in my code shouldn't show this effect nor do i have ever experienced something like this in my tests...strange...
Can you provide me with a test case for this? When i'm back home, i'll upload a jar that reverts the change to see if this does any good.

i will try to when i get home

[EgonOlsen]

OK...i've updated the jar at http://www.jpct.net/download/beta/jpct.jar with a version that takes back the change in the lighting calculation. I really doubt, that this will show any effect, but it's worth a try anyway.

no, it didnt help. i will try to setup a test case..

Egon, i've sent you a test case with email..

[EgonOlsen]

No mail so far...maybe my spam filter eated it!? I've whitelisted both, your gmail-account and aptalkarga.com now. Could you please try again?

Edit: Got it. Took some time but it finally arrived. I'll look into it now.

[EgonOlsen]

Found it! As usual, it's not a bug...it's a feature. To be exact, it's this (from the change log of 1.18): "The 3ds- and obj-loaders now load transparency information."
Your sky has a transparency value of 100 for whatever reason. The loader now loads this information. That, combined with the way how transparency works in the software renderer, cuts the light intensity in half on the sky. Just add a

Code Select Expand


sky.setTransparency(-1);

and it should look better.

thanks, this solved my problem
