I believe OpenGL isn't working properly on Android during the first frame (OnLoaded). We already had a problem with that when retrieving the screen resolution via glGetIntegerv , and I believe there was another issue I can’t find on the forum. So now, I set glGetUniformLocation to an int during the ...

It's weird that it returns 0, it should be -1 when something is wrong. I know, right? Using this in App.OnLoaded isn't working either on Android: @UseMaterial(Material: DemoMaterial); @RenderMesh(Mesh: DemoMesh); DemoLocations[0] = glGetUniformLocation(DemoShader.Handle, "x"); DemoLocatio...

switch the example to ES2/GL3, the shaders need to be re-written That is exactly what I did :lol: I added text to your example to see what's going on, and another shader that isn't using values x and y. On PC, the glGetUniformLocation values are 1 and 2. Screenshot 2025-07-11 172308.png On Android,...

Thanks Kjell. Did you use ES2/GL3 for both the PC and Android version? My game is ES2/GL3 only, and it's one project for all the targets, so yes :wink: here's an example using glGetUniformLocation I was indeed using it wrong. But the result is the same with your example: it crashes hard on Android. ...

So I wrote a shader that jitter the vertices, so several copies of a single model looks different. On PC, the models are jittered, and they all look different. But on android, the models are jittered, but they all look the same... In order to see that better, I applied a color based on the model per...

Oh yeah, now I remember wasting hours with mscdex.exe and command-line just to get the CD-ROM working so I could reinstall Windows 95

I added a context menu option to open the current project in ZGameEditor. You can also press Ctrl+E to do the same. This is really handy — for example, you can add new elements to your project in ZGameEditor, like a new 3DS model. Then, just save your project and close ZGameEditor. When you return t...

Hello. I'm back with a little request for the next feature of ZgeSublime :wink: Could you add "/o" to open a zgeproj file directly from command line, the same as you did for building with /b ? I can't compile the ZDesiner... Edit: My bad, I just realized how to open a zgeproj from command ...

So it is now very optimized. I like that
By the way, here are the Android 32 and 64-bit libraries:

Well done! I’ve been playing my game for quite a while, with all kinds of semi-transparent lasers and explosions, and in many different situations. Not a single crash. giphy.gif I can’t express how happy and relieved I am. That was one hell of a bug hunt... Tomorrow I’ll release the previous version...

I guess the only way around that is to render something small using each shader during application initialisation. All right, I'll add that to my arcade style warming up screen :wink: But for your specific situation you might want to use a glUniform call instead Thanks, that’s perfect. I managed to...

ZExpressions.pas(2344,23) Error: identifier idents no member "Proc" I believe line 2344 should be: PDummyFunc(Self. Entry. Proc)^(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1); //Should never execute Now it compiles and runs fine. I’m running the thousand-cubes test: no crash. This seems very promising...

I’m totally into shaders now, so I have a few more questions :lol: 1. How can I obtain a unique number per model in a shader? I tried vec3 modelSeed = position.xyz; but it’s not enough. Can I pass a random number from the currently rendered model to its shader? 2. I’ve noticed sometimes shaders take...
