does name matter when requesting multitexture?

If i understand right, and as far as i know, name doesn''t matter.

But i think it depends on your function pointer definitions. If you use glext.h, i think some versions have already definitions to object for every function. What i mean is, that the pfn object is already externed in that file, so you have to use the same name to make it work.

Have you seen any of Quake3 code. There is no OpenGL function in there with there real names. All functions have quake prefixes. This means, except that Quake loads OpenGL with LoadLibary-like way, and not staticly, that you can change the names of those functions.

PFNGLACTIVETEXTUREARBPROC ge_ActivateARBTexture;

ge_ActivateARBTexture = (PFNGLACTIVETEXTUREARBPROC)wglGetProcAddress("glActiveTextureARB");

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that helped!

yep you can give it any name you want...

...but if your code will be read by others, it''s best to just stick with ''em....

the glActiveTextureARB / glClientActiveTextureARB are just function pointers (like variables, they can have any name they want).
