Shader Error
« on: February 16, 2016, 03:47:00 pm »
So I've been working on a tiny project with a friend, and we're at the point where we want to add a simple shader, but no matter what shader we try we get the same error, even an empty shader file produces this error.

The Error:
Failed to compile vertex shader:
Vertex shader failed to compile with the following errors:
ERROR: error(#60) Unknown char: ""
ERROR: error(#273) 1 compilation errors.  No code generated
*/
Code that produces the error

Shader SunShader = new Shader("Resources/Shaders/VertexShader.vert", "Resources/Shaders/Light.frag");
 

The shader files aren't really relevant (as far as i know) as they return the same Error even if they're blank, a bunch of random text, or a premade test shader.

Can't find anything on google about it, using SFML.Net 2.2. And really really lost on what i can do.  VB 2012 just tells me that it fails to load with this message: http://u.rubixy.no/u/061641db.png

Image of the error inncase the web thing forum thing eats the letters: http://u.rubixy.no/u/0a6e7466.png
Not really helpful, I've set the shaders to include every time.

Do the Shader official example work? If so, there's most likely something wrong in your code and we won't be able to help unless you show a complete and minimal code that reproduces the problem.

The Example works flawlessly, even though it has a completely different structure.
I've got no clue why, as no matter where i place the shader creation it will crash the program, even if it's the very first line.
 But the example works great, is there some specific Compile settings i can't use? Can i not compile for .net 4.5? I'll try to switch it all to 3.5

Edit:
Tried to make a new project aswell, no go, so something's probably wrong with how i set it up. Will report back if i manage to fix this weird error.
