Testing basic scene with Lime 3.7.4 and Haxe 3.4.0

[maitag]

Ahoi,
on cpp (win7) basic scene sample works fine, but for html5 there is something new in Lime for webgl.
It did not found Gl with ...getContext("webgl", options) here:
-> https://github.com/vujadin/BabylonHx/blob/master/com/babylonhx/Engine.hx#L260
so changing it to "webgl2" it goes a little bit forward:

"Engine.hx:450: BabylonHx - Cross-Platform 3D Engine | 2017 | www.babylonhx.com | GL version: WebGL 2.0 | GL vendor: Mozilla | GL renderer: Mozilla"

but then more Errors in loading shader Assets:

[lime.utils.Assets] There is no TEXT asset with an ID of "assets/shaders/legacydefault.vertex.fx"
[lime.utils.Assets] There is no TEXT asset with an ID of "assets/shaders/legacydefault.fragment.fx"

so i tryed to copy the missing shaders from com.babylonhx/shader to assets/shader but then:

Effect.hx:361: Unable to compile effect: legacydefault
Effect.hx:362: Defines:
#define SPECULARTERM
#define NORMAL
#define LIGHT0
#define HEMILIGHT0
#define BonesPerMesh 0
#define NUM_BONE_INFLUENCERS 0
Effect.hx:364: Error: ERROR: 0:? : '' : syntax error

i get stuck again :(

I did a pass using a development version of Lime 4:

https://github.com/jgranick/BabylonHx/tree/lime4

It works up to the same position, in Firefox it reports a more helpful error message:

String contains the illegal character '65279'

Perhaps this is an issue with the source fragment shaders? I've never seen this error with any Lime project before

EDIT: Update, this is caused by a byte-order mark in these files, removing fixed the error. Now nothing appears to happen, so there must be a logic issue next

ah, basic scene is working again (with lime 3.7.4)
-> changing text-format of legacydefault-shaders from utf-8 to ansi and it works !

Joshua, cool stuff with Lime 4 ... it looks more clean in handling gl-rendercontext.
( runs now on html5 + FF -> https://github.com/jgranick/BabylonHx/pulls :)
