does anyone see anything wrong with this shader code? because when I ran it it complained of a syntax error but it looks fine to me.

(I'm progmmatically creating the shader).

I'm a complete noob at this, but my first impression is that there needs to be a comma after the second last line. I'm a complete noob, but every line between the main brackets have a comma besides the last one

naw, if that was it the compiler would of flagged it. that's the way you initialize arrays in C++ (one of the ways)

Try getting rid of the indentation inside the strings

Make sure it's saved in the proper format. I was having a similar problem with Uscript a while back and it turned out i was saving the .txt files in the wrong format. According to a half arsed google it should be UTF-8 encoding (don't take my word for it).

Also, whats "technique One" and "pass one" and is the capitalization correct on them?

Also, i don't know anything about this...

I know I always had troubles with line breaks in my C++ strings, so make sure there aren't any in there.

as i said it's generated on the fly runtime, (on the GPU) so no file used.

Yes. You've missed a semi-colon here:

Is it really that easy to add shader code directly in a c++ file? If so then I may start looking into that myself...
