GridMaterial old reference

[Brunex92]

Hi,

I've been doing this project for a while, but I've finished it 2 months ago.

Then this weekend I opened again to test it, but I got this error:

TypeError: BABYLON.GridMaterial is not a constructor

Then I looked onto the PG source code, and saw that the GridMaterial reference has changed its path, I was using this one:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babylonjs/2.4.0/babylon.js"></script>
<script src="http://babylonjs-playground.com/babylon.gridMaterial.min.js"></script>

/*...*/

this.groundMaterial = new BABYLON.GridMaterial("plane", scene);

The I updated to the new one, but again, it did not work, showing me the same error

Did the GridMaterial changed something? If it did, how can I get its old reference?

I have no intention of updating the code, since the project is finalized

You can try this url: https://preview.babylonjs.com/materialsLibrary/babylon.gridMaterial.min.js

So, I've tried this one, but it also shows the same error

This is strange cause it is the one in use in th playground and works: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#2ZIKV5

I believe this has something related with the PG version, if you change it to Babylon 2.5 it won't work.

It will even show the same error

[Sebavan]

yep in 2.5 the reference is not present, but could you try the version I linked to you with 2.5 ? (at least the error could not be file not found if you reference this one)

The PG http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/index2_5.html#2ZIKV5 does give the same error when set to 2.5.

The materials library references a change 6 months ago and a legacy grid https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/tree/master/materialsLibrary/src/grid but there is no documentation on how to reference this as far as I can find.

Exactly!

That's exactly my problem, I'm using an older version of Babylon, not this preview one, and I just need gridMaterial's reference

[Sebavan]

Yep there are still available here : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/master/dist/materialsLibrary/babylon.gridMaterial.js as you can see here: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/index2_5.html#2ZIKV5#14

But not on a CDN. You were relying on the PlayGround as a cdn but everything is subject to change there. This will be all available with the next release.

Thanks, I kinda wanted to be on a CDN, but since that it don't exist and JS won't run the raw file from GitHub, I can run it directly from a script with no problems

It's working now
