i have trouble with the shader patch 'gn.gloop.jxs-help.maxpat' from the

'slab helpers folder'. I get the error message:

jit.gl.shader: unable to bind GLSL uniform param: 'tex0'

I've tried adding a jit.gl.texture to the patc, prepending the data from the

matrix that arrives at the slab with jit_gl_texture,and using a jit.bfg to

initiate some data, but still nothing. I see that the shader file has a

variable for a texture unit but am not sure how I should bind a texture to

Actually, i've just been looking at some of the other gen.* shader files and

seem to have a problem with a few of them. I suspect that this may be an

issue with my graphics card. I can't get the antialias shaders to work

(blend mode is enabled, if that makes a difference). Also the spiderweb and

cross tile files don't work correctly. Does anyone have any ideas?

The way this shader works is that it doesn't really do any texture 

lookup. It just does a calculation based on the texture coordinates and 

generates texel values. So, the tex0 error should be harmless. If you 

aren't seeing anything in the GL window, that would indicate that your 

9700 mobility card is choking on this shader. It wouldn't be the first 

time (see discussions of the td.rota.jxs shader). It seems that the 

9700 has pretty strict limitations on the amount of math it's willing to 

Hello,

9700 has pretty strict limitations on the amount of math it's willing to 
do in one fragment shader.

It seems my graphics card is lagging behind in a number of cases! Thanks

Andrew, I remember the issue with the rota shader (I think Wes managed to

provide a workaround for this graphics card?).

Needless to say, I won't go anywhere near the geometry shaders!
