Is it possible to serialize a display list? I want to do something like "glNewList (GL_COMPILE_TO_DISK)". Or are script-files a best way (the only way?) to do it? theNestruo Syntax error in 2410 Ok

I would be very surprised if that is possible at all, since all this stuff is interpreted by the driver and stored internally in a format that will be incompatible with other drivers (or even other versions of the same driver).

If you absolutely must do this, though, why not write some wrapper functions that write stuff to disk in your own format and can later be recalled. Why do you even need this? What is preventing you from using the data that you currently use to compile the display list?
