Simple question about multitexturing

I would think that I would be able to give it any name that I want because I am just creating an instance of something, but when I give them my own names they fail

But why would you want to to this ? The result would be code that others may have a hard time understanding. Moreover, you wouldn''t be able to use other people''s code as easily, since you would have to change functions names.

Yes, it should work, but unless you have an excellent reason to do so, stay as far as possible from such a heretic thing.

Believe me, some went to hell for less than that.

As you know extensions (functions not enumarants) are accessible via pointers to function so you can call these pointer functions as you want...but you must define the pointer function type in the right mode (and you should not because they are defined in glext.h).
The name of the (pointer function) variables also can be anything...

Try to not use the prefix gl(Function) in your function because it can be a global function with the same name somewhere (implemented extension?)...use at least the prefix pgl to indicate a pointer!

In fact! I''ve just run ''Find Files'' and I found glMultiTexCoord2fARB in glext.h -> the extension is not more an extension but it is promoted as an API function!
