It could be because of where I've got my DF install(s) and Visual Fort (c:\games\Dwarf Fortress OpenGL\ and c:\games\Dwarf Vis\VisualFort\, respectively), but running MatGlossDump from the commandline doesn't do anything.  It seems like it's working, but it doesn't fix anything.

[Bloogonis]

All I get is a gray screen, did I do something horribly wrong? I have maydays d11 with minor mods to the raws and the Sayter mod. so that shouldn't effect it, am I simply being to impatient? I only waited 5 minutes before troubleshooting and trying again.

Edit: der, my bad didnt hit CTRl R now it works. dang if only I still had my valley of the gods save

[Judas Maccabeus]

That's not the file that's the problem, the one that's giving me trouble is "MatGlossBlend.frag".

I downloaded again, and it's still not working.

They're merged together before compilation. Does the log give a different log error? This is difficult because I can't test it. If my driver behaved the same way I could fix it straight away.

I am getting "Failed to load terrain material" error too, replacing that file didn't help.

It could be that you're an idiot AND it's not working. Just kidding . I have no idea what the problem is, which OS are you using? You don't happen to have another window called Drawf Fortress open do you?

This is the perennial possibility, yes. 

I'm running Vista Business 32-bit. Downloaded new revision, redownloaded DF from site, same problem. Going to try it in Ubuntu now.

EDIT: Great success! Not in Ubuntu; it crashed. Turns out, I'm an idiot. Just needed to set the affinity of both programs to the same core.

This thing is amazingly awesome.

I'm having a bit of a wierd problem with this. It sometimes gives me the unsuppourted error and it aborts and sometimes it works just fine. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the Mayday tileset.

Edit: It may also have something to do with ramps bieng stuck in the sky when I was collapsing a mountain from the ground up rather than from the top down.

It's unfortunate that all constructed floors appear to be gray.
I was hoping to see my latest megaproject in all its technicolor glory, but alas...

[Heron TSG]

Yay! Halltraded now looks like the blasted wasteland it is!

Lovely pictures! I particularly like the way you've abused that river

Ramps being stuck in the air is certainly going to be interesting, I don't think I accounted for that possibility. Another person was having what sounds like the same problem and fixed it:

Floors should be the correct colour, I've just tested it myself. You can also see it in the Abberverse shot above. If you send me the map I'll have a look at it.

Sorry, I'd made a change to the program and not tested it properly. Here's a link to the fixed version, and I'll update the main package tonight (GMT). Remember that if you have spaces in the path you must surround it with double quotes (").

This one baffles me, since I can't see anything wrong with line in question. As I can't do trial and error on this I've only got 2 suggestions left:
1- Update your graphics drivers if you haven't already
2- I'll fiddle with the shaders before the next release, removing some of the debugging cruft that may be causing the problem. Try again then. However, given that your card doesn't seem to support multisampling or antisotropic filtering more than 2x it may just be incapable of running the shaders.

Would be possible to color non-constructed ceilings the same colour as walls and constructed with the same colour as building material? So in this case ceiling of microcline tunnel would be blue?

I could colour the ceilings the same colour as the floor very easily. I'd rather not have to have wall checking logic involved. With constructions it actually makes more sense to use the colour from the floor above (since really you're seeing the undetside of the floor above), but I'm happy to make the change unless anybody else objects. We can just say the dwarves painted the ceiling or something

Abbeyverse is even more awesome than I imagined it.
A gigantic pool of architectural vomit, with lumps of insane mechanics.

Here's a new one.  Ran the new MatGlossDump, it worked.

Kinda.

Red sand appears as pink, chalk, oddly, appears as yellow now, ice (when smoothed) is also pink [Smoothing ice when it refreezes in an area where it thaws is a good way to get a bit of spare Smoothing/Engraving in], Talc appears proper white, gabbro is red, microcline is dark gray... it's very... odd.

I'm still having a problem with pitch black polygons in the trees, unless you fixed that in one of the shader's that got corrupted in my download

Sorry, stupid mistake (again ). I've uploaded a new version:
http://www.2shared.com/file/6927710/947417c8/MatGlossDump.html
You should just have to do the following though:
In Data/matgloss_metal.csv change all the first column from 1s to 2s
In Data/matgloss_stone.csv change all the first column from 2s to 1s
I'm making this more robust as we speak, so over the weekend I'll release a new version that automatically works with modded version.

I don't know about the back polygons, I'll look at it for the next release.

It shouldn't give a compilation error like that no matter what your GPU supports/doesn't support.  Certainly not a syntax error from the preprocessor!  Something's very wrong here.  Especially since line 2 of Default.vert doesn't even have a preprocessor directive!  Is it possible that your files got munged up somewhere in the compression/decompression?  It sounds a lot like some of the line endings got stripped.  Also, look into DirectionalLighting.h.  It might be showing you the error in the file as it is after the #include is processed, meaning the error would be in DirectionalLighting.h.  Though it doesn't have any directive on line 2 either...

Check those line endings.  Especially if you're running on Linux, since I believe that it uses a different character sequence for newlines.
