   [CgFX] I ahve a few question about CgFX with OpenGL
  **im using CgFX 1.5 beta 2**So far i can load a CgFX get/set parameters etc, but I soon as I load a new CgFX file it all goes wrong. I get errors like during runtime.- invalid param handle- invalid technique- etc.only the last loaded CgFX is working. it is as if it sets parameters, techniques etc from one CgFX with another. Am I forgetting to do something like: cgSetCurrentEffect(myEffect)?see code below how I load and use a CgFX file, every CgFX file is wrapped in a class:// constructm_cgContext = cgCreateContext();cgGLRegisterStates(m_cgContext);cgGLSetManageTextureParameters(m_cgContext, CG_TRUE);// Loadm_cgTechnique = cgGetFirstTechnique(m_cgEffect);while (m_cgTechnique && cgValidateTechnique(m_cgTechnique) == CG_FALSE){    // get next technique    m_cgTechnique = cgGetNextTechnique(m_cgTechnique);}// CgFXShader is the class that wraps a CgFX file and contains all info about technique, params etc// RenderCGpass pass = cgGetFirstPass(pCgFXShader->GetTechnique());while (pass) {    cgSetPassState(pass);    //DrawGeometry    cgResetPassState(pass);    pass = cgGetNextPass(pass);}Next question:Do I need to create a new CGcontext for every CgFX file or do I create 1 CGcontext and use it to for all other CgFX files?   
  Try 1.5 final and see if you still get those errors. If so let me know! Also more code would help here.You can use one context for all CgFX effects. The only thing you can't currently do is mix GL and D3D CgFX effects with one context. Each api needs its own context. This is just FYI.Also you only need to call cgGLRegisterStates once per context. It shouldn't hurt if you called it more than once, but there's no point.   ;  1.5 final must have been 2day, I often check the nvidia's developers site and yesterday 1.5 final wasnt on yet. Ill try it 1st and post back if it helped or not.edit:hihi, all download links are dead. so i'll check it later :)   ;  The links seem to work for me...Oh and 1.5 went live around 8pm Central Time yesterday.   ;  they must have fixed it, a few minutes ago i they didnt work :Pdownloading now :)   ;  I didnt work :(here's more how I do it://Initialisation (once)m_cgContext = cgCreateContext();cgGLRegisterStates(m_cgContext);cgGLSetManageTextureParameters(m_cgContext, CG_TRUE);// CgFXShader classclass CgFXShaderpublic:CgFXShader(const char* file, CGcontext cgContext);CgFXShader();~CgFXShader();CGeffect GetEffect(){ return m_cgEffect; }CGtechnique GetTechnique() { return m_cgTechnique; }bool LoadCgFXShader(const char* file, CGcontext cgContext);private:// effectCGeffect  m_cgEffect;CGtechnique m_cgTechnique;};// LoadCgFXShaderbool CgFXShader::LoadCgFXShader(const char* file, CGcontext cgContext){// debug printConsole->AddMessage("Loading CgFXShader: %s", file);bTextureManagement = cgGLGetManageTextureParameters(cgContext);m_name.append(file);// load effect from filem_cgEffect = cgCreateEffectFromFile(cgContext, file, NULL);if(!m_cgEffect){OutputDebugString(cgGetLastListing( cgContext ));return false;}CGparameter l_cgParameter = cgGetFirstEffectParameter( m_cgEffect );while (l_cgParameter){ParseParameter(l_cgParameter);l_cgParameter = cgGetNextParameter( l_cgParameter );}// Get valid techiquem_cgTechnique = cgGetFirstTechnique(m_cgEffect);while (m_cgTechnique && cgValidateTechnique(m_cgTechnique) == CG_FALSE){Console->AddMessage(cgGetTechniqueName(m_cgTechnique));Console->AddMessage(cgGetLastListing(cgContext));// get next techniquem_cgTechnique = cgGetNextTechnique(m_cgTechnique);}// debug output current technique nameif (m_cgTechnique){Console->AddMessage("- Current Technique: %s", cgGetTechniqueName(m_cgTechnique));return true;}else{Console->AddMessage("- ERROR: No Valid Technique");return false;}}Render:// for every cgfxfor(unsigned int i = 0; i < nrCgShaders; ++i){    pCgFXShader = m_vShaders;    CGpass pass = cgGetFirstPass(pCgFXShader->GetTechnique());    while (pass){cgSetPassState(pass);   // for every geometry that uses this cgfx   for(unsigned int x=0; x < nrGemoetry; ++x)  DrawGeometry[x].Render();   cgResetPassState(pass);pass = cgGetNextPass(pass);    }}this is the complete source. as i said before as soon as I try to load a new cgfx file the previous becomes invalid. I though that I might be doing sometrhing wront with the params and loaded 2 very simple xgfx file with 0 parameters:// fixed function fogtechnique main {    pass {   FogEnable = true;   FogMode = linear;   FogDensity = 5.;   FogStart = 128.0f;   FogEnd = 2048.0f;   FogColor = float4(.72f, .72f, .72f, .72f);    }}// fixed function lightingtechnique main {    pass {   LightingEnable = true;   LightEnable[0] = true;   LightPosition[0] = float4(-10, 10, 10, 1);   LightAmbient[0] = float4(.1,.1,.1,.1);   LightDiffuse[0] = float4(1,1,1,1);   LightSpecular[0] = float4(1,1,1,1);   MaterialShininess = 10.f;   MaterialAmbient = float4(1,1,1,1);   MaterialDiffuse = float4(.5, .5, .5, 1);   MaterialSpecular = float4(.5, .5, .5, 1);    }}btw im using ATI hardware (ATI 9700np)   ;  Ok I'll look into this in more detail.I hope this isn't an ATI driver issue. We have been wanting to make Cg more friendly to ATI. As a matter of fact, I have an ATI card that is just for ATI-Cg testing.   ;  this morning i tried the same build on a pc with an nvidia card and got the same results. and from your replies I got the impression that there was nothing wrong with the code I posted and knew it had to do with something else.after some debugging i suspected the array in which the cgfx are stored in, for this i used  std::vector. I changed it to a static array and it worked perfectly. // this i how i was using it.std::vector.push_back(CgFXShader(file, m_cgContext));// here's the constructorCgFXShader::CgFXShader(const char* file, CGcontext cgContext){    LoadCgFXShader(file, cgContext);}I dont really understand why, but i have a feeling that it has to to with how std::vector pushes values and the memory managent. if im correct in my case CgFXShader(file, m_cgContext) is placed on the stack. std::vector copies it and after that the memory is freed again resulting in invalid pointers etc. but. the desconstructor of CgFXShader doesnt do anything (yet)CgFXShader::~CgFXShader(){}thx for your time and efford and sorry for wasteing your time on this. i know you are very bussy with the cg team.I also wanna take this oppurtunity to ask if you have any word on when FX Composer 2.0 will be released? :D   ;  Ah good, I'm glad you found the problem. I was just about to go through your code in more detail. :) I didn't have a chance to this weekend.As far as FXComposer 2.0, I really don't know when it's supposed to be released. That's a question for the tools group and I'm not sure if they are wanting to say anything just yet. I wouldn't think it would be too much longer though.
