New Base Code

Base code fails to work for me. Even with all the options turned off. However, all the tutorials work fine. What is going on?



Thanks!

John William Blair

The new code worked fine with me (VC++).
Good work NeHe...

I used to be indecisive. Now I''m not so sure...

what new base code are u talkin about?

check NeHe''s website.

and to NeHe (if ya read this), does this mean you''re going to rewrite all of your tutorials with the new base code? just razin ya

Excellent improvment btw, I''ve had no problems under Windows 2000 Professional, P3 866, 256 MB, ATI Xpert 2000 (yes i need a better vid card).

What are the chances of the Base code going OO ? I''m not really a structs person !!

[-T-] Out

It run''s fine on my Win98 Radeon setup. And I think it''s a great improvement. But how should I get it to work on Voodoo3 class hardware, keeping in mind that I don''t have one...

And pleez, no OO (my 2 cents)

Why don''t you make an OO version Tony?

New base code, halleluja.

Oooo New base code!! Where?
<--CAn''t find it
I''d love to look at this new code, but (being a newbie to EVERYTHING), I am unable to find it

Here ya go: http://nehe.gamedev.net/files/nehegl.zip.
Excellent, as always, Nehe

Thanx for the link Martee, much appreciated

Ooooo, it getz rid of that annoying taskbar when running fullscreen and "always on top" is hilighted in options, nice!

Nehe, the new basecode fails on my Voodoo3, and tries to change the color depth from 16 bpp to 32 bpp on exit.

Take Care.

I realized I should be more verbose when I say it fails. Switching from fullscreen to windowed mode fails and causes an error in 3dfxogl.dll

check glVelocity for an OOP OpenGL...

nice work BTW Jeff...

I've been playing around with the new base code today, the Update function that updates yer variables according to time past is a great feature

Although, just one small problem (Not with the code, just my brain).
How'd I go about swapping the buffer?
What I mean is, with the old basecode, I just used summin like "SwapBuffers(hDC);" and it would funnily enuff, swap the buffer

But with this cool, new basecode, my little brain is havin' difficulty figuring it out
I've tried some bizarre stuff like...
SwapBuffers (g_window.hWnd);
SwapBuffers (GL_Window.HGLRC);
SwapBuffers(HGLRC);
SwapBuffers (window.hDC;

As U can probably tell, I dunno what I'm really doing
Please help a newbie out

Damnit! I feel so stooopid!

Found out the solution, may as well post it...

SwapBuffers(g_window->hDC); // Works just fine

Thanks guys. I''m working hard to fix up the few remaining problems. The maximize window code is being worked on right now, and hopefully I can clear up the 16/32 bit switching problem, although on my card, the desktop is restored properly...

Would like to note that I''ve been getting alot of email from new GL enthusiasts commenting on how nice the people in the forum are!

Definitely a nice thing to hear!

So thanks again. If you stumble across any other issues, let me know

yay, finally the resolution is changed AFTER the window closes. now more crashing for me
