Hi,

I saw in the instanced model sample, that stuff like this
#ifdef WINDOWS
    output.Color = 1;
#else
    output.Color = 0;
#endif
should actually work, but unfortunately, in our project it seems to not be the case.

I've searched the forums a bit, and stumpled over a thread where it says that one must write your own content processor.
Is this true?
If so, why does the instanced model sample work? Or doesn't it? (havent tried it on the xbox yet)

In my case, I am a 100% sure that WINDOWS is defined, but the color returned is still black.
Any clues?

Thanks!
Christian

As far as I'm aware, the 'XBOX360' macro should be defined....
However, I don't use the effect system (so get a second opinion first!)

The only preprocessor defines that are automatically set by the Effect Processor are "XBOX" and "XBOX360", and those are only set when the 360 is the target platform (obviously).  "WINDOWS" is not defined for you.

The InstancedModel sample just uses the "XBOX360" macro, which is why it works.

Sorry for the late reply, was busy with some exams and celebrating afterwards ^^

That's great news, thanks!

#if !XBOX
#define WINDOWS
#endif
