Material Database
Material Database
(OP)
Hey Everyone,
I have a question regarding the material database (sldmat) file. We run a custom version, basically it is a stripped down one of the default with several items for us. Anyway, we are beginning to rollout SW2008 and am having trouble getting 08 to view the database. Anyone else run into this??
I am getting a "Incompatible Material Database. Probably this database may be of a higher version and not compatible with present version" fault.
Confusing since it is a version that ran fine in SW07 and I am trying to run it in SW08.....
Any help is appreciated

For example
Was
<cgshader name="water"/>
<swtexture path="images\textures\metal\rough\lead.jpg"/>
</shaders>
<swatchcolor RGB="0">
Changed to:
<cgshader name="water"/>
<swtexture path="images\textures\metal\rough\lead.jpg"/>
</shaders>
<swatchcolor RGB="c0c0c0">
All seems well after this change
