I'm trying to use pfdStoreFile_pfb to make a database load faster. When
my code starts, it compares the timestamp of a .pfb file and a scene
description file. Depending on which is more recent, it either loads
the .pfb file, or loads the description file, then calls pfdStoreFile_pfb to
create a new .pfb. However, on the store call I keep getting the following...
PF Notice: pfdStoreFile_pfb: Storing "models/cic.pfb"
PF Warning/Internal: pfdStoreFile_pfb: find_in_table() could not
find 1 (0x1) in Cull Face State table.
A warning wouldn't concern me too much, but when I reload said file, I don't
get anything- everything is black. However, all my draw callbacks get set up
and display correctly, and I can collide with it and such... so the geometry
is there, I just can't see it.
I've had some weirness with culling with this database as well. When
I made the port to 2.0, it complained repeatedly about a bad cull mode,
which I managed to override... However, this call to pfdStoreFile_pfb
is immediately after building the scene graph, so I wouldn't think my
meddling later should matter.
I've also tried calling
pfdConverterMode_pfb(PFPFB_SHARE_GS_OBJECTS, PF_OFF);
before the load, but to no avail.
I'm using performer 2.0 with patch 1414, on an Onyx RE2 under 5.3...
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...
