Missing textures in latest s&box update

[hasiradooo]

just like in title, there's no snow texture and model, could you fix it?

Sorry that just now I noticed this issue.
By the looks of it recompiling the shader and materials might fix your issue. If not, could you paste in your console output?

In the meantime, I'll start working on updating this repo

[hasiradooo]

Well, I tried fix it, but I failed, I mean I get snow texture, but shader do not work like it should (there's no layers)

[jammees]

Unfortunately a lot of s&box updates did break most of it...

One easier approach might be to rewrite the whole thing and publish it as a library from the get-go. I'll look into it today and hopefully not too much was broken

[hasiradooo]

Please do, I would love use your work in my project I wanted use dynamic snow, but I'm not into shaders at all

[jammees]

Just a quick question, do you need the flat plane or the terrain version?

[hasiradooo]

I need terrain version, I want to make HARD survival in winter, maybe co-op for max 4 players

[jammees]

I see, just a note as how the terrain currently works is there is a camera positioned under it that renders everything with a specific tag. That means if your terrain is pretty big, the texture the camera has to render needs to be bigger too, otherwise too much detail will be lost. I'm not quite sure how to go around this issue yet. There's also this issue with the snow height and terrain height being in a specific ratio otherwise the snow won't get manipulated at the correct height. Hopefully I can fix this with the rewrite

[hasiradooo]

I plan make my game isometric view, so rendering distance is not a problem I guess

[hasiradooo]

Or you mean map size, that idk, I plan make pretty huge procedurally generated map

[jammees]

Actually I might have an idea how to fix limited map sizes too, but I have yet to try and implement it

[hasiradooo]

How it's going, did you figure it out?

[jammees]

Didn't really have too much time but I'm slowly working on it. I'm getting the weirdest issues I haven't seen yet while working on this originally.

As for the map, creating smaller chunks that process the data, which the terrain shader uses will probably be the way. My original idea didn't work out at all, because while it looked promising I had no way to store the deformation of the snow.

Here's the new repo for the project: https://github.com/jammees/SboxDynamicSnow
