Armory: Only one pointlight at a time possible

[Simonrazer]

Links to #1140 #1429, reposting because these issues don't have the error posted and don't get the attention they really need.

Description
When using more than one pointlamp this error occurs:
When using Deferred rendering:

This makes it impossible to build bigger scenes in Armory.

To Reproduce
Place more than one pointlamp

Here it is working i guess

[Simonrazer]

Tried your file, not working for me (and probably many others too, judging by the similar issues I missed to link).
Multiple lights used to work some months ago or so, are you sure you have a up-to-date version?
Also reminder, I use Windows (as do many others).

[knowledgenude]

I use Git version. I also have this problem in Windows but not in Linux. Did you already tryed with a Windows or Linux Krom export?

[Simonrazer]

I don't have a Linux machine. A Windows Krom export does result in the deferred error. If I set the Play mode to Browser in works though.

[knowledgenude]

Then the problem is happening in Windows Krom export, as it occurs in Krom and Kromx (not tested in C). I will test other builds here and see what happens

[MoritzBrueckner]

It's also happening to me on Krom (Windows 10). There was a small discussion about this and similar lighting issues in the discord channel:
https://discordapp.com/channels/486771218599510021/486771218599510024/713166567134724118

Summary:
Without knowing anything about HLSL (that's where the error occurs), I assume the error lays within the declaration of uniforms (if it's even called like that in HLSL too).

Instead of this:

SamplerComparisonState _shadowMapSpot_sampler[4] : register(s0);
SamplerComparisonState _shadowMapPoint_sampler[4] : register(s1);

The generated output should probably look like this (source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32479831/9985959):

SamplerComparisonState _shadowMapSpot_sampler[4] : register(s0);
SamplerComparisonState _shadowMapPoint_sampler[4] : register(s4); // <-- s4 instead of s1 because the arrays have length 4

I'm unfortunately not able to help here, maybe it's even a Kha issue (because of the glsl -> hlsl conversion), I don't know.

Edit: I think this might be a Krafix issue. If you export with opengl it obviously works (glsl) but with DirectX it fails (hlsl), so the conversion is probably wrong. Maybe those files have to be fixed: https://github.com/Kode/krafix/blob/master/Sources/D3D11Compiler.cpp and https://github.com/Kode/krafix/blob/master/Sources/D3D9Compiler.cpp

[knowledgenude]

I can't test with DirectX now, but in OpenGL it is working fine. I only get an issue trying to use Vulkan API:

My GPU supports Vulkan, maybe it is missing some drive. Can someone please test if Vulkan is working or not in Armory with the example above trough a Krom export?

[Simonrazer]

I tried to build Kromx for Vulkan but it fails. As for OpenGL, it build a Krom.exe without any errors, but when I actually try to build the Game with Armory and then launch it nothing happens. When I try to open it via commandline no messages are there, it is just instantly done. That might be because I did stuff wrong, but I am don't know what that could be. I used these instructions to build Kromx, I just replaced the "direct3d11" with "opengl" or "vulkan".

When using Sun light source with other sources - no errors.
In this case, errors occur even if the light sources are in different scenes of the same project.
