Lot of Ogre 3D compil errors

aahh, those errors lol

These errors related to materials and shaders look like errors but actually aren't. Its due to the resource system changes we made a couple years back that ended up working on things after the renderer first calls for them. This doesnt happen on Gen2 as much anymore.

Just so you know, when we are happy with Gen2, it will be overwriting Gen1 as the public release. Its just best to use Gen1 if you need features that Gen2 currently doesnt have.

Gen2 can't export .exe, and it has no terrain water road, can't level design with Gen2.
But you must be right i should start with Gen 2 instead.

yes, absolutley use Gen2 as its newer and better!!!.... Terrain is in development and coming along smoothly. Game exe is also being worked on and soon, we have the player build back now for next release.

As for water, vegetation, roads... these will all come in due time

Why Player ? No need when you build .exe.
When Gen 2 gets .exe generation working witout missing characters, terrain editor it will be great
Water is great, need shoreline options looks better.

The player allows you to run what you see in the Run the game in editor but in an end game window without having to export the game and collect all the resources. It helps to quickly prototype to know whether your game runs correctly in a player before exporting and finalising exerything. The player window simply loads what the editor does so there is no packaging etc.. but it is more coupled with the editor than the end game.
