ARB_EXTENSIONS

[Mickey_dup1]

Hi,
I'd like to know if my system support multitexturing. I code
glGetString(GL_ARB_multitexture);and it return (NULL). Is it correct command?
Thanks

you have to call glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS); in return you'll get a string which contains all extensions that your driver supports, so you have to find the substring GL_ARB_multitexture in this string.

No. See the reference page of this function:

Here's a code that will check the extension:

//Global Variable
PFNGLMULTITEXCOORD2FARBPROC glMultiTexCoordARB = 0;

char *extList = (char*)glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS);

if (extList && strstr(extList, "GL_ARB_multitexture"))
{
// get the address of the extension
glMultiTexCoord2fARB = (PFNGLMULTITEXCOORD2FARBPROC) wglGetProcAddress("glMultiTexCoord2fARB");
}

i assume your "No" refers to mickey's post -not mine :)

My system doesn't support OpenGL; (the string you say doesn't appear). What does it mean? My hardaware doesn't support Multtexturing or my software? Can I resolve this and using multitexturing within my application? thanks.

ARB_multitexture is now full part of GL core, so you don't need to get the extension. Or maybe you have a very old driver with a very old card.

If you don't have the string multitexture in the extension list, this might mean that you don't have multitexture... But Geforce2, as far as I can remember do support them.

take a look at this (http://www.delphi3d.net/hardware/listreports.php)

maybe you should download the latest driver from nvidia.
