Compiling Reflections error

[rB|Liam*]

Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone could help me out. I've started to create my third map but before i started properly i wanted to make sure everything was working so i made a test map and compiled etc. It all works apart from when i compile reflections i get an error saying "Error during initialization: Can't find shader_bin/ps_2_0_3fe1c8af" I remember i had this error a long time ago and if i remember correctly i had to get someone to go into their shader_bin and find the file then send me it, so if anyone knows a different fix or has the file could you help me out please? Thanks.

Try updating the mod tools to 1.1 if you haven't done so already.

If you're using an FPS config, you need to switch it back to the normal one.

Ik i just copy/paste from a site. But a long time ago this was the only solution for me:

This tip didn't works for my problem. It receive the error :
"error during initialisation
can't find shader : shader_bin/ps_2_0_3fe1c8af"

even with the cloned dirs. I realised the specified file doesn't exist nowhere in my system.

So I found another solution that worked!

Edited my profile config_mp.cfg file manually, replacing shader 2_0 calls with shader 3_0 call:
open \COD4ROOT\players\profiles\{profilename}\config_mp.cfg

1. Find the lines:
seta r_rendererInUse "Shader model 2.0"
seta r_rendererPreference "Shader model 2.0"

2. Replace with (or add them):
seta r_rendererInUse "Shader model 3.0"
seta r_rendererPreference "Shader model 3.0"

Now, the game find and use correct shader files (ps_3_0_xxx) and the compile runs fine!

hope it can help
