Shader initliazation issue with new build of 0.49

[FailedTalent101-1]

Had to reinstall OpenMW 0.49 for a mod, so I went to the OpenMW website and downloaded the build from Development Builds for Windows. Now whenever I try using this shader pack, it says "failed initializing shader: fullscreen_tri". With my very limited coding experience (still learning), I have done my best to see what could be wrong, but I'm too dumb to figure it out.

same issue here

Looks like the issue is stemming from line #9 in shaders\lib\core\fragment.h.glsl

The regular shaders\lib\core\fragment.h.glsl has:

#if @waterRefraction
vec4 sampleRefractionMap(vec2 uv);
float sampleRefractionDepthMap(vec2 uv);
#endif

new one has:

#if @refraction_enabled
vec4 sampleRefractionMap(vec2 uv);
float sampleRefractionDepthMap(vec2 uv);
#endif

I'm a complete noob at this stuff - but I'll see if I can't get some kinda fix where it allows the shaders to work once again in 0.49

Well I got the game to load after fiddling with some of the files after parsing through numerous errors on startup the result:

This is way beyond my league of ability to fix haha

Here to ask if there is a fix found or made for this yet?

Also checking to see if a fix has been found please

Bumping.

The fix suggested above might work, give it a go! If it works, I'm happy to accept a PR.

Sadly it did not work, another error appears after changing the lines.

2025 still not solved?

I guess the shaders just aren't compatible with OpenMW 0.49 then? Because I'm getting the same error.

They're not, sadly. And unfortunately, due to upstream changes, it would be a significant time investment to update them. I would like to say I have the time, but I have so much on my plate right now that I can't realistically imagine I'll be able to.

If somebody else wants to pick the shaders up and maintain them, or extract bits into an entirely new project, I'd be very happy to see that and would happily point the repository toward such a project.

I wouldn't mind taking it over, but I have no idea how to lol. I've coded in C# and C++ years ago, and am learning Python now, but I'm not sure where to start with shaders!

I'd be happy to pass the project on, although of course I'd prefer to do so to someone that's contributed to the project before and I can have some degree of assurance that they'd continue to keep it moving forward for some time.
