Hi there im trying to convert screen coords to game coords or wold space coords... Here is my rendering function
[Source]
	glViewport(0,0,CurrentWidth,CurrentHeight);
	glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
	glLoadIdentity();
	gluPerspective(45,1,1.0f,250.0f);
	glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
	glLoadIdentity();	
	glTranslatef(Cx,Cy,Cz);
	glRotatef(Rx,1,0,0);
	glRotatef(Ry,0,1,0);
	glRotatef(Rz,0,0,1);
	glTranslatef(float(map.Width) / -2.0f,float(map.Height) / -2.0f,0);
	mouseCursor = CalculateMouse(); // Grab Mouse Position

 ... Then the map is rendered and the MousePointer's Position
 ... that is aquired 

[/Source]
[Source]
CVector3	CalculateMouse()
{
	POINT mouse;					// Stores The X And Y Coords For The Current Mouse Position
	GLint viewport[4];				// Viewport Constraints
	GLdouble modelview[16];			// Model View Matrix
	GLdouble projection[16];		// Project Matrix
	GLfloat winX, winY, winZ;		// Windows X,Y,Z (Positions)
	GLdouble posX=0, posY=0, posZ=0;		// World or (Identity) for the Positions

	glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT, viewport);			// Retrieves The Viewport Values (X, Y, Width, Height)
	glGetDoublev(GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, modelview);	// Retrieve The Modelview Matrix
	glGetDoublev(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX, projection);	// Retrieve The Projection Matrix

	GetCursorPos(&mouse);							// Gets The Current Cursor Coordinates (Mouse Coordinates)
	ScreenToClient(hWnd, &mouse);

	winX = (float)mouse.x;							// Holds The Mouse X Coordinate
	winY = (float)viewport[3] - (float)mouse.y;			// Holds The Mouse Y Coordinate

	// Get Distance of Point under Mouse Icon
	glReadPixels(winX, int(winY), 1, 1, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT, &winZ);
	mouseDistance = winZ;

	// And Now Finaly We Use UnProject (which is basically like using the inverse matrix)
	gluUnProject( winX, winY, winZ, modelview, projection, viewport, &posX, &posY, &posZ);
	return CVector3(posX,posY,posZ);
};

SO the PosX,PosY,PosZ i get back from this GetMouse function is always as far away from the Camera/Rendered Position as possible... In a sense you could say WinZ is always == FarPlane if any1 can help i will appreciate it

okay so on futher inspection it turns out that

WinZ was always == to 1.0f (100%) and that is because

[Source]	glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT.. All the Matrix and Camera Stuff done here	mouseCursor = CalculateMouse();[/Source]


So now calculateMouse reads from the DEPTH_BUFFER to get the depth of where the mouse's pointer is... But because glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER) is called first it cant get the depth and the depth is always 1.0f... Meaning the Darkness is as far as possible...

;-)

So by moving glClear() to just after the CalculateMouse() all is working well now... here is how the source looks

[Source]glViewport(0,0,CurrentWidth,CurrentHeight);	// Set Viewport	//	glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);			// Grab projection matrix	glLoadIdentity();	gluPerspective(45,1,1.0f,250.0f);	glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);					// Set current Matrix to model view matrix 	glLoadIdentity();		glTranslatef(Cx,Cy,Cz);	glRotatef(Rx,1,0,0);	glRotatef(Ry,0,1,0);	glRotatef(Rz,0,0,1);	glTranslatef(float(map.Width) / -2.0f,float(map.Height) / -2.0f,0);	mouseCursor = CalculateMouse();	//	glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT);	// Clear Screen And Depth Buffer[/Source]
