Error message in my log

[Shipbuilder]

This is one that I have been meaning to ask about for a while but never got around to it.

When I read my latest log I get the following error message

19:36:30.821 [shader.uniform.unpermittedMethod]: Did not bind uniform "alertlevel" to property -[ShipEntity alertCondition] - unpermitted method.

Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it ?

My system is as follows: -
Windows 7 home premium (Service pack 1)
Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz processor
3.00GB RAM
32-bit Operating System

I have attached below a full copy of my latest log incase this helps

[Cody]

It's to do with Griff's ships, and is entirely harmless... ignore it!

[Shipbuilder]

Thanks EV

[Thargoid]

To be a little more specific only stations and the player ship have an alert level. But Griff's shaders try and bind it also for general NPC ships, hence the error.

But as EV says, it's just a warning and entirely ignorable.

[cim]

But Griff's shaders try and bind it also for general NPC ships,

Not even that. It's the spinning cobra at the start of the game, which is a cobra3-player, and so normally has player shaders available (but when displayed at the start of the game, it's as an NPC ship, and doesn't)

In 1.77, NPCs have alertLevel available as a shader binding, which will solve that one.

[JensAyton]

Fixed the general fix in r5418.

[Shipbuilder]

Thanks everyone for the information and advice.
